Using the A/D input sound
One of the enormous benefits of the Performance mode is that you can have the A/D input sound — such as your voice through
a microphone, a guitar, bass, or CD player — assigned as one of the four Parts of a Performance. Various Part parameters such
as volume, pan, and effects can be set for this Part, and the sound of the Part is mixed and output together with the other Parts.
These parameters are set and stored in the Performance Store mode for each Performance.
n
The Audio Input part is available also in the Song mode/Pattern mode, but is not available in the Voice mode. The procedure and explanations here apply to
the Song and Pattern modes as well. The microphone related parameters (corresponding to step #8 below) of each Song/Pattern are edited in the Song
Mixing mode/Pattern Mixing mode.
Connecting a microphone to the A/D
INPUT jack
The explanation below applies in particular to low-level
equipment, such as microphones, guitars and basses.
n
A standard dynamic microphone is recommended. (The MOTIF ES
does not support phantom-powered condenser microphones.)
Move the cursor to the “Mic/Line” parameter by using the
Cursor button and set it to “mic” by using the [INC/YES]
button, [DEC/NO] button, or data dial.
n
When the output level of the connected equipment (such as a
microphone, guitar, bass) is low, set this parameter to “mic.” When the
output level of the connected equipment (such as a synthesizer
keyboard, CD player) is high, set this parameter to “line.”

This setting is available for all modes. If you wish to store this setting,
