Scenario: You have found a Voice that you like
and it has assigned arpeggios (five different
arpeggios can be associated with a Voice). You
want to use the Voice and its assigned arpeggios
in a Pattern/Song Mix or perhaps in a Performance
with other Voices. When you assign a Voice to a
Pattern/Song MIX or to a Performance certain of
the data is stripped off and reassigned to a default
setting. This includes:
•
Insertion Effects – which can be activated for
up to eight Parts of any Mix and for all four
Parts of a Performance.
•
Reverb/Chorus assignments - These so-called
“System Effects” which were programmed
individually in Voice mode are now shared by
all PARTS of a MIX or Performance.
•
Volume – which is set to a default of 100 on a
scale of 0-127.
•
MIDI channel assignment - Each Part of a MIX
is automatically assigned a successively
higher MIDI channel that initially corresponds
to the PART number by default. In a
PERFORMANCE all PARTS are on the same
Basic MIDI channel.
•
Arpeggios – If a Voice had arpeggios
associated with it in Voice mode they are
stripped off.
If you wish to copy Voice mode settings, like the
arpeggios and System Effects, to the Voice’s PART
of the MIX follow this step-by-step tutorial.
We will use the USER 001 “Gt: Unplugged” Voice
as an example.
Let’s assume you want to build a Pattern around
this particular Voice. First, let’s learn how to
explore this Voice and see what it has going for it.
To learn about any Voice from the main screen
press the [INFORMATION] button.

By default the first eight internal Parts of a Mix will
recall their Insertion Effect routing from Voice mode. By
default all four internal Parts of a Performance will recall
their Insertion Effect routing.
This guitar sound is in Bank MSB/Bank LSB
063/008
– that’s the User 1 bank. This Voice is
made from four different Elements. An Element is
a multi-sample in the case of the internal Motif ES
Voices. The polyphony mode is POLY. Portamento
(glide) mode is OFF. The Pitch Bend range is –
2/+2 or up and down a whole step. The Insertion
Effects that are assigned to this Voice are a “3-
band EQ” and a “Vintage Distortion”. The reverb is
a “Woody Room” and the chorus is “Chorus 1”.

Press the [EXIT] button or press [VOICE] to
return to the main screen. From the main
screen press F6 ARP to learn about the
assigned (associated) Arpeggios. When this
Voice is initially recalled ARP1 is active. It is
from the preset “GtKM” bank (Guitar
Keyboard Mega Voice) of preset arpeggios.
Arp1 007 Unplug D
Arp2 006 Unplug C
Arp3 008 Unplug E
Arp4 009 Unplug G
Arp5 005 Unplug B
Tempo is 113 BPM
Because we are curious and there is no better way
to learn than to explore…let’s see what makes this
Voice tick. If you press the [EDIT] button and
navigate to the Control Sets you can view what
assignments have been made. You will be able to
use these assignments once the Voice has been
placed in a MIX so let’s be aware of what they
are. From the main Voice screen:
•
Press [EDIT]
•
Press [COMMON]
•
Press [F4] CTRL SET (Control Set)
SF1 Control Sets 1 / 2
Set 1: Mod Wheel is assigned to the Common LFO
Set 2: AS1 is set to control the INSERT EFFECT
A’s Low EQ Gain

You will see these MSB/LSB Bank Select numbers
again when you go to the Voice select screen in MIXING
mode.
