There are 16 slots of advanced modulation. This powerful
feature allows complex chains of modulation from many
sources to be applied to a vast choice of destinations. There
is wide choice of ’functions’ available that are applied to up
to 2 sources for each destination, with adjustable modula-
tion depth for each slot.
User interface
Dedicated analogue rotary potentiometers are used to ac-
cess the basic analogue parameter pages and to allow fast
’tweaking’ in real-time. In addition MOTAS-6 uses a rotary
[ROTARY ENCODER] in combination with tactile push but-
tons
[BUTTON-PUSH-1]
for data entry and editing.
Display
MOTAS-6 has an OLED (organic light emitting diode) dis-
play with a fast update rate and wide viewing angle. The
display intensity can be adjusted.
External connections
MOTAS-6 has traditional MIDI input and MIDI output con-
nectors in addition to USB MIDI. USB MIDI allows faster
data transfer to and from a PC and MOTAS-6 is recognised
as a standard MIDI device (no special drivers should be needed).
There are four independent analogue CV/gate inputs to al-
low playing/modulation from external analogue sequencers,
controllers and modular synthesizers.
The main audio output is monophonic and in addition there
is a mono headphone output (on a stereo connector).
Other features
MOTAS-6 has a flexible arpeggiator. There are global and
patch-specific arpeggiator settings. The play mode, oc-
tave range, pattern, note length and swing can be adjusted
and synced to MIDI, CV or internal clock. A special global
mode allows rapid patch changing as the arpeggiator plays.
The pattern sequencer allows 1-bar patterns to be entered
where each note in each pattern can be adjusted for pitch,
velocity, time, duration, micro-tune and patch change. Real-
time sound parameter changes can be recorded and edited
too. Patterns can be arranged into a 2-line simple sequence
with pattern repeat, transpose, time offset and patch set-
tings.
More than 500 sound patches can be saved to non-volatile
memory.
MOTAS-6 has 32 built-in microtuning scales and allows a
further 32 scales to be defined and stored using standard
MIDI bulk tuning commands.
There is a useful oscilloscope and spectrum analyser fea-
ture that allow the user to study the output signals on the
display.
Integration with external software
Free software including DAW plugin software is available
to download from
www.motas-synth.uk/downloads.html
This allows live control between MOTAS-6 and your com-
puter and patch/sequence archiving, firmware updating and
more.
Firmware updates
MOTAS-6 firmware updates are available from time-to-time
to add new features and make other improvements. These
can be downloaded and applied using the free software
provided from
