 — over 

512 in total, with 49 drum kits.  Use the 

 

 function to quickly call up the sounds you 

want, based on their instrument type.

 

■

 

 lets you use four different voices 

together — in layers or in a keyboard split.

 

■

 

 — seamlessly 

combines audio and MIDI recording.  

* Full 

 

 features, with 

4MB of memory (expandable to 64MB).

* Wide 

 

 lets you load AIFF and WAV 

files, as well as samples and program/voice data from 
other samplers.

* Convenient 

 

 function lets you sample the 

sound of the MOTIF itself directly.  Play your own 
melodies, riffs and rhythms — and use them as samples.

* Unique 

 

automatically chops up your 

rhythms and riffs into their individual beats and notes.  
This lets you manipulate the component parts of your 
sample loops as MIDI data — and gives you the power 
to easily change tempo and even the rhythmic feel, 
without disturbing the pitch or sound quality.

* Using the 

 

, record your music to the 

 

 in conventional linear fashion, from 

beginning to end.  Or use the

Chorus (25 types), two separate Insertion sections 
(total 104 types), a Variation section (25 types), and a 
Master 5-band EQ.

Comprehensive 

 

— letting you adjust filter, levels, 

effects, EG, and more, while you play. 

 

■

 

 functions let you craft different 

rhythmic sections and riffs as individual elements — 
which you can easily and intuitively combine in real 
time to create full rhythm tracks.

 

■

 

The built-in 

 

 feature not only puts a wealth of 

hip rhythmic sequences at your fingertips, it even has 
special “human” patterns — such as guitar strumming 
and woodwind trills.  

 

■

 

Once you’ve collected all the audio samples, loops, 
MIDI data, and patterns you need for your song, use 

 

 to arrange the pieces in real time.  This 

hands-on approach makes it easier than ever to come 
up with great ideas and amazing songs.

 

■

 

 is another powerful tool that lets you take 

“snapshots” of the sequencer track settings (such as 
pan, volume, and others).  Then, during playback or 
recording, simply switch among the Scenes for instant, 
dynamic changes.

 

■

 

 for using the MOTIF as a master 

keyboard controller (with independent Zones), and for 
easily reconfiguring the instrument between Voice/
Performance play and Song/Pattern play in live 
applications.

 

■

 

Exceptionally 

 

 with 

two-tiered operation buttons: [F1] - [F6] and [SF1] - 
[SF5]

 

■

 

— for operating your favorite 

sequencing software from the panel controls of the 
MOTIF.  Mute tracks, control transport (Play, Stop, 
Record, etc.), mix both MIDI and audio tracks (up to 
16) with the MOTIF’s knobs and sliders, pan the 
tracks, control EQ, and tweak effect sends — all 
without ever touching the mouse. 

 

■

 

Three 

 

 slots let 

you upgrade the MOTIF with a completely new 
synthesizer or sound-processing engine.  These Plug-in 
boards give you more voices, more effects, more 
polyphony and more instrument parts.  Plus, special 
Plug-in voices have already been programmed and 
stored to the MOTIF, ready to be played as soon as you 
install the proper board.

 

■

 

 — including 

assignable outputs, audio inputs, optical digital output, 
MIDI, USB for multi-port connection to a computer, 
SmartMedia card slot and SCSI terminal for data 
storage.  There’s even an expansion bay for installing 
the optional AIEB board for additional ins and outs — 
both analog and digital.

 

■

 

Expansion bay for optional mLAN — Yamaha’s new 

 

 technology makes it possible to 

transfer all your digital audio and MIDI data via a 
single broad-band cable.

 

■

 

 — Packed with your MOTIF are 

two powerful software programs: 

 

 and 

 

.  The Voice Editor puts all the 

comprehensive editing features and parameters of the 
instrument right on your computer screen for easy 
editing.  With File Utility, you can access and organize 
all your important MOTIF data (stored to Memory 
card or SCSI device) directly from the computer.
