Using the Controllers
The MOTIF XS gives you an amazing amount of control
options. Not only is it equipped with conventional Pitch
Bend and Modulation Wheels, it also features special
Knobs, Sliders, Ribbon Controller, and Assignable Function
buttons.
The Voice Play display indicates the functions assigned to
the controllers. Keep in mind that the name of the Voice
may include an abbreviation of the controller most suitable
for use when playing the Voice. Using the controllers such
as Knobs, Sliders, and the ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION
buttons change various aspects of the Voice’s sound in real
time—while you play.
n For more information about controllers, see page 67.
These global parameters apply to all the [SF1] – [SF5]
buttons as a group.
These parameters can be set for each of the [SF1] – [SF5]
buttons.
