MOTIF Introduction
Important Features
Wide range of
dynamic and authentic voices
— over
512 in total, with 49 drum kits. Use the
Category
Search
function to quickly call up the sounds you
want, based on their instrument type.
Performance mode
lets you use four different voices
together — in layers or in a keyboard split.
Integrated Sampling Sequencer
— seamlessly
combines audio and MIDI recording.
* Full
Sample recording and editing
features, with
4MB of memory (expandable to 64MB).
* Wide
data compatibility
lets you load AIFF and WAV
files, as well as samples and program/voice data from
other samplers.
* Convenient
Resampling
function lets you sample the
sound of the MOTIF itself directly. Play your own
melodies, riffs and rhythms — and use them as samples.
* Unique
Slice feature
automatically chops up your
rhythms and riffs into their individual beats and notes.
This lets you manipulate the component parts of your
sample loops as MIDI data — and gives you the power
to easily change tempo and even the rhythmic feel,
without disturbing the pitch or sound quality.
* Using the
Song mode
, record your music to the
sequencer
in conventional linear fashion, from
beginning to end. Or use the
phrase-based functions
to assemble rhythms and patterns — “playing” your
arrangements in real time.
Extensive
effect processing
, with Reverb (12 types),
Chorus (25 types), two separate Insertion sections
(total 104 types), a Variation section (25 types), and a
Master 5-band EQ.
Comprehensive
real-time control with four knobs
and four sliders
— letting you adjust filter, levels,
effects, EG, and more, while you play.
Pattern mode
functions let you craft different
rhythmic sections and riffs as individual elements —
which you can easily and intuitively combine in real
time to create full rhythm tracks.
The built-in
Arpeggio
feature not only puts a wealth of
hip rhythmic sequences at your fingertips, it even has
special “human” patterns — such as guitar strumming
and woodwind trills.
Once you’ve collected all the audio samples, loops,
MIDI data, and patterns you need for your song, use
Pattern Chain
to arrange the pieces in real time. This
hands-on approach makes it easier than ever to come
up with great ideas and amazing songs.
Song Scene
is another powerful tool that lets you take
“snapshots” of the sequencer track settings (such as
pan, volume, and others). Then, during playback or
recording, simply switch among the Scenes for instant,
dynamic changes.
Master mode
for using the MOTIF as a master
keyboard controller (with independent Zones), and for
easily reconfiguring the instrument between Voice/
Performance play and Song/Pattern play in live
applications.
Exceptionally
easy-to-understand interface
with
two-tiered operation buttons: [F1] - [F6] and [SF1] -
[SF5]
Remote Control
— for operating your favorite
sequencing software from the panel controls of the
MOTIF. Mute tracks, control transport (Play, Stop,
Record, etc.), mix both MIDI and audio tracks (up to
16) with the MOTIF’s knobs and sliders, pan the
tracks, control EQ, and tweak effect sends — all
without ever touching the mouse.
Three
Modular Synthesis Plug-in System
slots let
you upgrade the MOTIF with a completely new
synthesizer or sound-processing engine. These Plug-in
boards give you more voices, more effects, more
polyphony and more instrument parts. Plus, special
Plug-in voices have already been programmed and
stored to the MOTIF, ready to be played as soon as you
install the proper board.
Comprehensive I/O terminals
— including
assignable outputs, audio inputs, optical digital output,
MIDI, USB for multi-port connection to a computer,
SmartMedia card slot and SCSI terminal for data
storage. There’s even an expansion bay for installing
the optional AIEB board for additional ins and outs —
both analog and digital.
Expansion bay for optional mLAN — Yamaha’s new
mLAN interface
technology makes it possible to
transfer all your digital audio and MIDI data via a
single broad-band cable.
Included software
— Packed with your MOTIF are
two powerful software programs:
Voice Editor
and
File Utility
. The Voice Editor puts all the
comprehensive editing features and parameters of the
instrument right on your computer screen for easy
editing. With File Utility, you can access and organize
all your important MOTIF data (stored to Memory
card or SCSI device) directly from the computer.

interface. The USB interface provides multi-port
MIDI operation not possible with a single MIDI
connection.
n The USB connection can only be used for transfer of
MIDI data. No audio data can be transfered via USB.
USB
USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is
a serial interface for connecting a computer with
peripheral devices, and enables much faster data
transfer (12Mbps) compared to conventional serial
port connections. Also, it allows “hot swapping”
(connecting peripheral devices while the power to
the computer is on).
6 MIDI IN/OUT/THRU connectors (page 24)
MIDI IN is for receiving control or performance
data from another MIDI device, such as an external
sequencer.
MIDI THRU is simply for redirecting any received
MIDI data (via MIDI IN) to connected devices,
allowing convenient chaining of additional MIDI
instruments.
MIDI OUT is for transmitting all control,
performance and playback data from the MOTIF to
another MIDI device, such as an external sequencer.
7 BREATH Controller Jack (page 28)
Connect an optional Yamaha BC2 Breath Controller
here for expressive breath control capability.
8 FOOT SWITCH jacks (page 28)
For connection of optional FC4 or FC5
Footswitches. When connected to the SUSTAIN
jack, the Footswitch controls sustain. When
connected to ASSIGNABLE, it can control one of
various different assignable functions.
9 FOOT CONTROLLER jacks (page 28)
For connection of optional foot controllers (FC7,
etc.). Each jack lets you continuously control one of
various different assignable functions — such as
volume, tone, pitch, or other aspects of the sound.
) ASSIGNABLE OUT L and R jacks (page 21)
Line level audio signals are output from the MOTIF
via these phone jacks (1/4" mono phone plug).
These outputs are independent of the main output
(at the L/MONO and R jacks below), and can be
freely assigned to any of the Parts. This lets you
route specific Voices or sounds for processing with a
favorite outboard effect unit.
! OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks (page 21)
Line level audio signals are output via these phone
jacks. For monophonic output, use just the L/
MONO jack.
@ PHONES jack (page 21)
For connection to a pair of stereo headphones.
# A/D INPUT jacks (page 23)
External audio signals can be input via these phone
jacks. These are used primarily for recording
samples — either with a microphone, making the
proper Utility settings (page 250), or from other
audio equipment, such as a CD or MD player. With
the optional Vocal Harmony Plug-in board
(PLG100-VH, page 35), you can also apply special
effects and harmonies to the microphone input.
$ GAIN knob
For adjusting the input gain of the audio at the A/D
INPUT jacks (above). Depending on the connected
device (microphone, CD player, etc.), you may need
to adjust this for optimum level.
% SCSI connectors (page 27)
This SCSI-2 50-pin connector (D-sub, half-pitch)
can be used to connect to an external SCSI data
storage device — allowing you to conveniently save
and store large quantities of data.

^ Card slot (pages 64, 262)
Insert a Memory Card here to transfer various data
to/from the MOTIF. Read carefully the precautions
on using a Memory Card (page 289) before
inserting a card.
& Plug-in board cover (page 35)
Installing an optional Plug-in Board to the MOTIF
lets you greatly expand the sonic palette of the
instrument. Up to three boards can be installed to
the MOTIF’s rear panel.
When the optional mLAN8E has been installed:
1 SERIAL I/O connector
For connecting the mLAN8E directly to a personal
computer via a serial cable. Use this jack to connect
the mLAN8E and the computer when using the
mLAN Patchbay and mLAN Mixer in Windows.
This is not used to input or output MIDI or audio
signals.
2 mLAN (IEEE1394) connector1, 2, 3
For connecting mLAN devices or IEEE1394-
compatible devices via IEEE1394 standard (6-pin)
cables.
About mLAN
“mLAN” is a digital network designed for musical
applications. It uses and extends the industry
standard IEEE 1394 high performance serial bus.
For details, refer to the Guide Book of the
mLAN8E.
The name “mLAN” and its logo (above) are
trademarks.
When the optional AIEB2 has been installed:
1 OPTICAL IN, OUT connectors (pages 22, 23)
Use these connectors to input or output digital
signals over optical-fiber cable. You can use the
OPTICAL IN to record a digital signal of frequency
48kHz, 44.1kHz, or 32kHz. The OPTICAL OUT
connector outputs a digital signal of frequency
44.1kHz.
2 DIGITAL IN, OUT connectors (pages 22, 23)
Use these connectors to input or output digital
signals over coaxial (RCA-pin) cable. The digital
signal format is CD/DAT (S/P DIF). You can use
the DIGITAL IN connector to record a digital signal
of frequency 48kHz, 44.1kHz, or 32kHz. The
DIGITAL OUT connector outputs a digital signal of
frequency 44.1kHz.
3 ASSIGNABLE OUT jacks (AS1 to AS6)
(page 22)
Additional analog output jacks. Each pair (1&2,
3&4, 5&6) operates independently of all other
outputs on the MOTIF.

MOTIF Setting Up
Power Supply
Setting Up
Setting Up
This section explains how to connect your MOTIF to an AC power source, external audio and MIDI devices, and a
computer system. Only switch the MOTIF on after you have made all the necessary connections.
It is recommended that you read this section before using the MOTIF.
Power Supply
1 Make sure the POWER switch on the MOTIF is set to OFF.
2 Connect the supplied power cord to the AC INLET terminal on the instrument’s rear panel.
3 Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC outlet. Make sure your MOTIF meets the voltage requirement
for the country or region in which it is being used.
Make sure your MOTIF is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (as listed on the rear
panel). Connecting the unit to the wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even
pose a shock hazard!
Use only the AC power cord supplied with the MOTIF. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be
replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard!
The type of AC power cord provided with the MOTIF may be different depending on the country in which it is
purchased (a third prong may be provided for grounding purposes). Improper connection of the grounding conductor
can create the risk of electrical shock. Do NOT modify the plug provided with the MOTIF. If the plug will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use a plug adapter which defeats the grounding
conductor.
