MOTM-650 USER’S GUIDE
WWW.SYNTHTECH.COM
From top to bottom:
LCD
– This 8 character by 2 line LCD is the primary user interface for settings, status, and
other MOTM-650 related information. The LCD backlight can be controlled via global
settings.
MIDI
– Indicates MIDI activity on input to the MOTM-650. This is an indicator of all MIDI
data sent to the MOTM-650’s MIDI IN – not just MIDI data bound for the MOTM-650. Note
that this LED is lit by the MOTM-650’s processor, not directly from MIDI data pin.
V1-V4
LEDs – These LEDs indicate when a voice’s gate is either on (lit) or off (not lit). If a
voice is set as an S Trigger, an LED on indicates the gate is shorted and off indicates the
gate is open.
BEAT
LED – This LED will blink at the rate of the clock source.
ESC
– The ESCAPE button is used to either cancel a setting change, or move to a higher
level function. Just remember, when in doubt, press
ESC
.
ENTER
– The ENTER button is used to accept a setting change, step to a lower level
function, or confirm that a changed setting is desired.
DEC / INC
– The DECREMENT and INCREMENT buttons are used to step through the
menu options and change settings. In some contexts, holding down either button will cause
an accelerated repeat of either button, which makes changes happen more quickly (much
like the key repeat on a computer keyboard).
MIDI IN
– The MOTM-650’s MIDI input.
MIDI OUT
– The MOTM-650’s MIDI output.
EXT CLK
– External clock pulse input for external clocking of the MOTM-650.
AUX 1-4
– 10 Bit assignable auxiliary outputs – one for each voice. Each output has its own
settings and menus to control them. See the
Voice Group Settings
section of this manual
for information on their operation.
VEL 1-4
– 10 Bit velocity output or trigger output. The function of these jacks is dependent
on their
Voice Group Setting
.
GATE 1-4
– Gates for each of the individual voices. These directly track the Voice 1-4 LEDs
as described above.
CV 1-4
– 16 Bit control voltage outputs, used to convert MIDI note data to control voltages.
They are usually connected directly to VCOs, but can be used for any module that needs a
highly accurate control voltage.
