Appendix
The Multi mode lets you set up the MOTIF-RACK XS as a multi-timbral tone generator for use with computer-based music software or
external sequencers. If each track in a song file uses a different MIDI channel, you can independently assign each of the Parts in a
Multi to those MIDI channels. In this way, you can play back the song data on a sequencer with each track playing a different Voice.
You can create a Multi containing up to 16 Parts using the internal tone generator. Since there is only one bank for Multi, you need not
select a Multi Bank.

About the User Bank of Multis
When shipped from the factory, this tone generator contains a full set of specially programmed 128 User Multis in the User Bank. If a Multi in a User Bank is overwritten,
the User Multi will be lost. When you store the edited Multi, be careful not to overwrite any important User Multis.
