MOTM-650 USER’S GUIDE
WWW.SYNTHTECH.COM
DETAILED FEATURE DESCRIPTION
Top-level Function Categories
The MOTM-650’s functionality can be broken up into four categories:
Global Settings
– Global settings apply to the MOTM-650 as a whole. Most global settings
apply to all voice groups simultaneously. These features include, but are not limited to,
clock source, tuning tables, tempo, voice group configuration, etc…
Voice Group Settings
– A voice group is a logical grouping of voices that share the same
settings, including MIDI channel.
Arpeggiator Settings
– The MOTM-650 has two arpeggiators, each of which can be
assigned to a voice group, no voice group, or both to the same voice group. Arpeggiators use
settings from global settings (such as clocking) and have their own settings available.
Module Actions
– These are one-shot actions that perform various functions, such as
dumping patches, storing patches, etc… They are not settings as in global, voice group, or
arpeggiator categories, rather just instructions to perform a specific action.
Note
: Settings may appear and disappear in the menus depending upon how the MOTM-
650’s options are set. For example, setting the
Clock Source
to
MIDI Clock
will cause the
Internal Clock BPM
setting to disappear from the
Global Settings
menu. There are only
a few cases where this occurs, and it’s done to ensure that only the settings that will have
an effect on the MOTM-650’s operation are visible at any given time. If one of the expected
setting doesn’t appear, check the MOTM-650 Menu Chart in Appendix A to see if another
setting controls whether or not it appears.
