“INSERT OFFSET”: In each Board Voice the
programmer activated a specific parameter
that could be offset. In this one it will set
the initial level of the filter controlling the
wah-wah. Those parameters that are
grayed out (***) are unavailable in this
particular Voice, but you may see them
active in other preset Board Voices that
have effects active that can use them as
OFFSETS.
It is in this manner that you have access to
the effect processor that the original
programmer selected for this Board Voice.
Check the Owner’s Manual (page 24-25)
for information on which Board Voices have
Insertion Effects active and for which
Insertion Effect Parameters are available
for that algorithm (30-32). If, for example,
you want to defeat the built-in wah-wah
(AUTO-WAH), you could (using the
WET/DRY OFFSET). Then you could
program your own using the Motif’s
powerful, fully editable, DUAL INSERTION
EFFECTS – which are, of course, also
available to be applied to the PLG150-PF
data.
The other OFFSETs you see listed
refer to other specific effects, for example
the CLIP CURVE is a function of the Guitar
Amp Simulator, available on the
“WurliAmp” sound.
To add Motif level Effects:
• Press the COMMON button
• Press F6 Effects/ SF1 Connect to apply
Motif effects. The Dual Insertion effect
is available (in series or parallel), as is
the Motif Reverb and Chorus. Above a
Dynamic Compressor was selected for
INSERT 2.
In the above two “before-and-after”
screens the AS1(16) and AS2(17) are the
per Voice programmable Assignable knobs.
AS1 is assigned to control the Send
amount to the Motif Chorus, while the AS2
is assigned to control the DYN:
COMPRESSOR we selected for INS EFF 2.
AS2 is setting the Compressors Threshold
level.
Other Motif level parameters you can
assign to the Board Voice: You can assign
the Modulation Wheel MW to control Filter
Cutoff, Pitch Modulation, Filter Modulation
and Amplitude Modulation:
Aftertouch AT can be assigned to control
Pitch Bend and Filter Cutoff, as well as
Pitch Mod, Filter Mod and Amplitude Mod:
You can select an Assignable Controller AC
Source and have it effect Filter Cutoff,
Pitch Mod, Filter Mod and Amplitude Mod:
Of course, the Motif Arpeggiator can be
applied to the PLG Voice like any other
Motif Voice. Be sure to explore the
Arpeggiator Note Limit and Velocity Limit
parameters and the Play Effects. The Play
FX can give the arpeggio some swing or
multiply (double/half) the time):
