Yamaha MOTIF7 Manual Do Utilizador

Song mode

In this mode, you can set up and save mixing data for 
your songs, and set various parameters for the tone 
generator parts — including the desired voice, as well 
as its level, pan, EQ, effect and other settings.
How the Song Mixing mode affects the tone generator 
parts, and how it is affected by other elements is made 
clear by the following diagram.

Song Mixing parameters are not actually part of the song 
data, but rather are settings for the tone generator, as it is 
played back by the song data.  As such, the Song Mixing 
parameter settings are not recorded to the song tracks.

n Even if the selected song has no sequence data, this 

Mixing data can be stored to User memory as song data. 
Playing back such song data transmits the mixing setup 
to the external MIDI instrument. 

◆ The [ ] Indicator

If you alter any parameters in the Song Mixing mode, 
the [

] indicator will appear in the top left of the 

display. This indicates that the current Song Mixing 
settings have has been modified but not yet stored. 

The [

] indicator will disappear when you select another 

song and all edited data will be lost. It is a good idea to 
store the edited song data in the Song Mixing Store mode 
(page 214). Even if you lose the Song Mixing edited data, you 
can restore it by using the Edit Recall function (page 158).

 

n As shown above, the Song Mixing settings can be 

affected or overridden by song playback and 
external MIDI data.  Keep in mind that because of 
this, the [

] indicator may appear in the display 

— even though you’ve made no changes or edits to 
the Song Mixing settings yourself.

n The parameters that have the same name in the Song 

Mixing mode and in the Song Mixing Edit mode have the 
same functions and settings. 

◆ Basic Procedure

  In the Song Play mode, select a User Song to be

  Press the [MIXING] button to enter the Song

but to all 64 songs.

  Select the menu you wish to edit by pressing the 

[F1] - [F5] buttons, then edit parameters in each
