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.

n 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.

Playing a Multi

From the Multi Play display in the Multi mode, you can select

and play any of the Multis. For more details about Multis, see

page 25. Here, you’ll learn how to play back song ﬁles of the

DAW software on your computer with the MOTIF-RACK XS.

Connect the MOTIF-RACK XS to the computer

following the instructions on page 17.

On the computer, start the DAW software, then open

the new ﬁle.

Set the MIDI related settings such as MIDI port and MIDI

transmit channel for each track by following the

instructions on page 22.

MIDI port

If you are using the internal tone generator of the MOTIF-

RACK XS, set the MIDI port for each track of the DAW

software to “1.”
