About the VOICES
As previously stated, the voices are divided into two groups of 64
each, explained in all the sordid details below.
CONTROLLERS –
The Motif XS features an expanded set of controlling knobs – 8
altogether, with assignable Knobs 1 and 2 at the far right of the row.
Additionally, there are two assignable switches (labeled “Assignable
Function) immediately to the left of the eight sliders on the XS.
The assignable knobs 1 and 2, and the assignable switches 1 and 2,
almost always control some aspect of the voice sound. Turn the
knobs or press the switches to see what happens!
The ribbon controller and arpeggio on/off button are not assigned to
the “keyboard” voices of Vintage Keys. However, they
are assigned
to some of the “synthesizer voices, where appropriate. More on that
in the notes preceding the synthesizer voice descriptions.

again proved to be an invaluable source of research data, and from
which I shall often quote liberally.
