Basic Operation
Information Display
This convenient function lets you call up relevant details about the selected mode — simply by pressing the
[INFORMATION] button. For example, when the Voice mode is active, you can quickly check information about
which voice bank is selected, what Play mode (poly or mono) is being used, which effects are applied, and so on.
In the Song Play mode, you can instantly find out how much memory is being used and how much is left over for
additional recording.
Control Knobs and Sliders
This extremely versatile and powerful section on the panel gives you instant, real-time control over the sound and
certain functions of the MOTIF. For example, you can use these to shift the Pan position, adjust the Reverb or
Chorus effect, change the Tempo of a song or pattern, tweak the EQ, perform dynamic filter sweeps, alter the Volume
balance of the elements in a voice or the tracks of a song, and do many other things as well — all in real time, as you
perform. The Knobs are also assignable to various functions, letting you control virtually any aspect of the sound or
operation you desire (pages 254 and 256).

Select the row of functions you wish to control by pressing the [KNOB CONTROL FUNCTION] button.

necessary) until the top indicator is lit.
