MOTIF  Setting Up

Connections

Setting Up

■

Connecting to a mixer (with the optional AIEB2)

You can expand the MOTIF’s output capabilties with six additional OUTPUT jacks for outputting extra individual 
parts, by installing the optional I/O board (AIEB2). 

n

Connecting a pair of headphones does not affect audio output from the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. You can monitor the 
same sounds via headphones and at the OUTPUT jacks. 

Digital output

■

When using the OPTICAL OUTPUT connector: 

This connector enables direct digital output of MOTIF playback and digital through-put.

■

When the optional AIEB2 I/O board has been installed: 

The board enables direct digital output of MOTIF sound also via the coaxial cable. 
For purposes of compatibility, the AIEB2 board includes two different output types: OPTICAL OUT (optical fiber) 
and DIGITAL OUT (coaxial cable). Note that both of these outputs always produce identical signals.
