When the Element to which “AF1 on,” “AF2 on,” or “all AF off” of the XA Control parameter is assigned does not sound, is the
corresponding ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION button pressed?

■

Is “Vocoder” selected as the Insertion Effect Type of the Voice?
If so, set the parameters related to the AD Part and A/D INPUT connector to the appropriate values then play the keyboard while
inputting your voice into the microphone connected to the MOTIF XS. Check whether or not the Gain Knob on the rear panel is set
to the minimum position. For details, see page 39.

■

When playing the keyboard in the Performance/Song/Pattern mode produces no sound, has a Voice been assigned to each Part?

■

When the Song/Pattern playback produces no sound, are the output channel of each track in the play mode and the receive
channel of each Part in the Mixing mode set appropriately?

■

When the Song/Pattern playback produces no sound, are the Velocity Rate and Velocity Offset settings of the Play FX
appropriate?

Playback continues without stopping.

■

When the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button is turned on, press it so that its lamp is turned off.

■

When in the Song mode or Pattern mode, press the [

J

] (Stop) button.

■

When the click sound continues, check the following parameter setting. Set this parameter to something other than “always”
because this setting always plays back the click sound regardless of the sequencer status.

Distorted sound.

■

Are the effect settings appropriate?
Use of an effect at certain settings may produce distortion.

Use of the Master Effect at certain settings may produce distortion.

■

Are the filter settings appropriate?
Excessively high filter resonance settings can cause distortion.

■

Is any of the following volume parameters set so high that clipping is occurring?

Sound is cut off.

■

Is the entire sound (via your keyboard playback and Song/Pattern/Arpeggio playback) exceeding the maximum polyphony of the
MOTIF XS? (page 59)
