Creating a Song on the MOTIF ES
The MOTIF ES is a full-featured and enormously powerful music production machine, and all of the instrument’s advanced
features and functions come together seamlessly in the creation of a Song. Here, you’ll learn how to get the most out of the
sequencer-related functions of the MOTIF ES, using primarily the Song and Pattern modes.
This section is quite detailed and comprehensive. However, rather than following it step-by-step all the way through and trying to
use every feature in a single song, use it instead as a guide or a springboard for further exploration.

Recording your keyboard performance
Generally, you’ll start recording a Song or Pattern by playing a Voice from the keyboard. Since the instrument is set to multi-
timbral operation (page 162), the Voice you actually play and record depends on the Voice settings for the Song or Pattern,
made in the Mixing settings described below.
