Selecting Voices by receiving MIDI messages
You can select Voices on this instrument from your DAW software
by specifying the following MIDI messages. To do this, the
following three MIDI messages must be transmitted to the
MOTIF-RACK XS.
• Bank Select MSB (Control #0)
• Bank Select LSB (Control #32)
• Program Change
For example, transmit the following MIDI messages to select the
Voice of program number 12 in the PRE2.
1.
Transmit a Bank Select MSB (Control #0) value of 63.
2.
Transmit a Bank Select LSB (Control #32) value of 1.
3.
Transmit a Program Change value of 12*.
* If you are using a DAW software that has a Program Change value range of 0
to 127, transmit a Program Change value of 11 to the MOTIF-RACK XS.
For details on what values are assigned to the Voice Bank/
Number of this tone generator, see the “MIDI Data Format” in the
separate Data List. Also, for specific Program Change numbers
and the corresponding Voices, refer to the separate Data List.

Set the MIDI Channel to the same channel as the “Receive Ch (Basic
Receive Channel)” parameter (page 102).

When MIDI messages are received in the Voice mode, the [VOICE]
button lamp flashes. This provides a quick way to check whether MIDI
data is being received or not.
