Yamaha MOTIF XS7 Manual Do Utilizador

Moving the Knobs changes various aspects of the 
Voice’s sound in real time—while you play. 
When one of the TONE 1, TONE 2 or ARP FX lamps are 
lit, the eight Knobs are used to control the 
corresponding functions as printed on the panel (the 
same as in the Voice mode). For details, see page 90. 
When one of the REVERB, CHORUS or PAN lamps are 
lit, the following functions are assigned to the four 
leftmost Knobs. 

n If the [E] (Edit) indicator appears at the top right of the 

display when you adjust the Knobs, the current 

Performance can be stored (page 142) as a new User 

Performance. 

The far left four sliders adjust the volume for each of four 
Parts. Each of the Control Sliders 1 – 4 corresponds to the 
same numbered Part. The status of the sliders is shown on 
the display. 

You can call up the Performance Play display by pressing 
the [PERFORM] button.

Performance. A Bank is a memory location that includes 
data of 128 different Performances. Three Banks (User 1 –

assigned to a Performance Number of 001 to 128. 
Performance Numbers 001 to 128 are converted to the 
format (shown in parentheses) of Banks A to H and 
Numbers 1 to 16 (for the Bank). This format corresponds to 
the Group buttons [A] – [H] and the Number buttons [1] – 
[16]. The Performance Numbers and the corresponding 
Group/Numbers are listed below.

“Category,” consisting of Main Category and Sub

can be registered to a Main Category and its Sub 
Category. The Category settings can be edited in the 
General display (page 143) of the Performance Common 
Edit mode.
