NOTICE
• The edited Voice will be lost when selecting the different
Voice or turning the power off. Make sure to store the Voice
data to the internal memory by pressing the [STORE] button
before selecting a different Voice or turning the power off.
• Because User Memory to which the Voice is stored is Flash
Memory, the edited and stored Voice will not be erased even
if the power is turned off. You need not worry about losing
your stored data. The Voice Store operation, however, will
overwrite the Voice data already stored to the destination
Voice number. For this reason, important data should always
be backed up to a separate USB storage device or to a
computer connected via network to the MOTIF XF
(page 241).

Other convenient functions are also available in the Drum
Voice Edit mode. For details, see page 54.

The Common Edit parameters of the Drum Voice are basically
the same as those of the Normal Voice. However, some
parameters having the same name as those of the Normal
Voice are not available for the Drum Voice.
This is the same as in Normal Voice Common Edit. See

(Arpeggio Main)
This is the same as in Normal Voice Common Edit. See
page 58.
Arpeggio settings—[F3] ARP Other
(Arpeggio Other)
By changing the timing and velocity of the notes, you can
change the rhythmic “feel” of the Arpeggio playback.
This is the same as in Normal Voice Common Edit
(page 59) except for the Fixed SD/BD parameter.
Fixed SD/BD
This parameter is available only for Drum Voices. When this
parameter is set to on, C1 will be used as the note of the
Snare Drum and D1 will be used as the note of the Bass
Drum in Arpeggio playback.
Although most Drum Kits assign the Snare Drum sound to
C1 and the Bass Drum to D1, certain Drum Kits assign
these sounds also to other notes additionally and certain
Arpeggio Types are created by using those notes (different
from C1 and D1). Accordingly, you may hear improper
sounds depending on the selected Arpeggio Type and
Drum Kit. Setting this parameter to on may solve such
problems.
If you feel that the Snare and Bass Drum sound is improper
when the Arpeggio Type is changed via the [SF1] – [SF5]
buttons, it is a good idea to set this parameter to on.
