When we place this Voice in either a Performance 

Part or a Mix Part, as mentioned, some of its 

assigned parameters will be changed, reset or 
stripped off completely. Voices are placed in a 

somewhat neutral state as you are going to 

combine them with other Voices. A PART is an 
important concept to understand. It is defined as 

a Motif ES Voice that has been placed in a 

Performance or a Mix – it is the set of parameters 

that are assigned to control the Voice – they are 
offsets to the actual Voice parameters. So when 

you save a Performance or a Mix you are actually 

not saving the Voice data itself but these set of 
parameters that are now associated with the 

original Voice. This allows you to edit the PART 

without destructively editing the Voice data itself. 
What this accomplishes is you can use the same 

Voice in other Performances and Mixes completely 

uniquely. Next we will learn about how to COPY a 

VOICE to a multi MIX and then how to COPY it to 
a PERFORMANCE. 

 

COPY 
As mentioned when you move the “Unplugged” 

Voice into a Performance PART or into a Mix PART 

you will notice that the Reverb and Chorus 
assignments are set to the default (R3 Hall and 

Chorus 1), and all the associated arpeggios are 

removed. Activating the INSERT Switch restores 

the Insertion Effect but to restore the arpeggios 
we will use the convenient COPY JOB function. 

Here’s how to make it work for you: 

 
Initialize the Mix or the Performance you wish to 

use (this process will work equally well for each). 

Initialize is a JOB found always at F1. 
 

When you initialize a Performance it will place the 

Full Grand piano sound in PART 01. You can 

change this to your sound and then use the COPY 
function to restore its Voice mode settings. When 

you initialize a Mix it places the Full Grand piano 

sound in all 16 PARTS. You can change the Part 

you want to your sound, then use the COPY 
function to restore the Voice’s setting. What 

follows are the step-by-step instructions for this 

procedure; first for a MIX followed by the step-by-

step for a PERFORMANCE.
