IEEE1394 Driver
When an optional mLAN16E2 has been installed, this selects the driver for operating the mLAN16E2.
On the AI Driver, set this parameter to “mLAN.” For details about this parameter setting, refer to the
information about the IEEE1394 Firmware contained in the MOTIF-RACK XS page at the following
web site:
http://www.yamahasynth.com/download/
To enable the changed setting, you will need to restart the MOTIF-RACK XS after storing the Utility
settings.
Knob Disp Time
(Knob Display Time)
Determines whether turning one of the Knobs 1 – 5 will cause the Knob popup window (page 29) to
appear.
Settings:
off, 1 sec, 1.5 sec, 2 sec, 3 sec, 4 sec, 5 sec, keep
off .......................... The popup window appears only when the Knob is pressed.
1 sec – 5 sec ......... Pressing or turning the Knob will cause the popup window to appear for 1 – 5 seconds, and then the
window will automatically be closed.
keep ...................... Pressing or turning the Knob will cause the popup window to appear. When the popup window is open,
calling up a different display/dialog/popup window or pressing the Knob/ [ENTER] button/ [EXIT] button
will cause it to close.
Knob Sel Disp Sw
(Knob Select Display Switch)
Determines whether pressing the [SELECT] button will cause the Knob Select popup window (page
29) to appear.
Unlike with the Knob popup window (page 29), it is not possible to set the time to display the
window.
Settings:
off, on
Audition Button
(Audition Button Function)
Changes the function of the [AUDITION] button. When this parameter is set to “audition sw,”
pressing the [AUDITION] button turns Audition playback on or off. When this parameter is set to
“arpeggio sw,” pressing the [AUDITION] button turns Arpeggio playback on or off. When set to
“arpeggio sw,” the [AUDITION] button functions in the same manner as the “Arp Sw” of the Arp
Select display (page 66) in Voice Common Edit or the Arpeggio display (page 91) in Multi Common
Edit.
Settings:
audition sw, arpeggio sw
Bank/Part Wrap
(Bank/Part Wrap Around)
When using the cursor [<]/[>] buttons to change the Bank/Part of the Voice/Multi mode, this
determines whether pressing the cursor [>] button alternately moves continuously and changes
from the last Bank/Part to the first Bank/Part and vice versa (first to last). When this parameter is set
to “on,” continuous change is available.
Settings:

MIDI
MIDI In/Out
Determines which physical output/input terminal(s) will be used for transmitting/receiving MIDI data.
Settings:
MIDI, USB, mLAN (when the optional mLAN16E2 has been installed to the MOTIF-RACK XS)
n
When a USB cable is not connected to the MOTIF-RACK XS, the MIDI terminal will be automatically used for
transmitting/receiving MIDI data, even if this parameter is set to “USB.”
MIDI Sync
Determines whether Arpeggio playback will be synchronized to the instrument’s internal clock or an
external MIDI clock.
Settings:
internal, external, auto
internal................... Synchronization to internal clock. You can use this setting when this tone generator is to be used alone
or as the master clock source for other equipment.
external.................. Synchronization to a MIDI clock received from an external MIDI instrument via MIDI. You can use this
setting when the external device is to be used as master.
auto ....................... When MIDI clock is transmitted continuously from an external MIDI device or computer, the internal
clock of the MOTIF-RACK XS is not effective and the MOTIF-RACK XS is synchronized with the external
clock. This setting is useful when you wish to alternate between external clock and internal clock.
n
When setting the MOTIF-RACK XS so that Arpeggio playback is synchronized to an external MIDI clock, make
sure to set the devices so that the MIDI clock from the DAW software/ external MIDI device is properly transmitted
to the MOTIF-RACK XS from the DAW software/ external MIDI devices. For details on this setting, refer to page 21.
Clock Out
Determines whether MIDI clock (F8H) messages will be transmitted via MIDI.
Settings:
off, on
n
When “MIDI Sync” is set to “external,” MIDI clock of the MOTIF-RACK XS is not transmitted.
