Yamaha MOTIF XS7 Manual Do Utilizador

In order to make operation of the MOTIF XS as smooth as possible, all functions and operations have been grouped in 
“modes,” many of which also have a number of “sub modes.” 
The MOTIF XS provides nine main modes which are divided into several sub modes. For details, see the mode table below.

n In addition to the modes above, the MOTIF XS features the Remote Control mode. In this mode, you can control the DAW software on your 

computer from the panel operations of the MOTIF XS connected to the computer via USB. For details, see page 51.
