Yamaha MOTIF6 Manual Do Utilizador

Actually, there is no direct operation for recording 
Arpeggios.  First, you have to record a Phrase to a Song 
track.  Then, use the appropriate Song Job function to 
convert the data to Arpeggio data.

n Arpeggio data consists of four tracks.  However, data 

conversion in the Song Job is done one track at a time.

The MOTIF is loaded with such a wealth of different features, 
functions and operations, you may find it difficult to locate 
and call up the particular feature you need.This is where the 
Master function comes in handy.  You can use it to memorize 
the operations you use most often in each mode, and call them 
up instantly anytime you need them with a single button 
press.  The MOTIF has space for a total of 128 of your own 
User Master settings.

•Zone(*) is available only when you specify “Voice” or “Performance” in the Memory 
display in the Master Play mode and store the settings to a User Master. Details are 
described later.

•Parameters other than those shown above (e.g., Knob/Slider settings) can be 
stored. See page 273 for details.

 

Keep in mind that the settings you can store to a User 
Master in the Voice/Performance mode differ from 
those you can store in the Song/Pattern mode.  Here 
are the main differences:

 

●  Storing settings in the Song/Pattern mode

In general, you can store specific Song numbers in the 
Song mode, Pattern numbers in the Pattern mode.

n Operations and settings in File mode, Utility mode 

and Sampling mode cannot be stored to a User 
Master.

● Storing settings in the Voice/Performance 

In addition to specific Voice or Performance numbers, 
you can also store master keyboard functions — such 
as the Zone settings, in which the MOTIF keyboard is 
divided into up to four different Zones.
