Setting example of Filter Scaling
The best way to understand Filter Scaling is by example. For the 
settings shown in the example display below, the basic Cutoff 
frequency value is 64, and the various Offset values at the selected 
Break point settings change that basic value accordingly. The 
specific changes to the Cutoff frequency are shown in the diagram 
below. The Cutoff frequency changes in a linear fashion between 
successive Break Points as shown. 
Setting example of Amplitude Scaling
The best way to understand Amplitude Scaling is by example. 
For the settings shown in the example display above, the basic 
Amplitude (volume) value for the selected Element is 80, and the 
various Offset values at the selected Break point settings change 
that basic value accordingly. The specific changes to the Amplitude 
are shown in the diagram below. The Amplitude changes in a linear 
fashion between successive Break Points as shown.

Performance mode
■ Creating Performances — basic procedure
You can create and edit your original Performances by setting various parameters in both the Performance Play mode and Performance Edit 
mode, while the Performance Job mode provides some basic parameter-related tools, such as Initialize and Copy. Once you’ve edited a 
Performance, you can store it to a User Bank in internal memory (Flash ROM) in the Performance Store mode and save all the edited 
Performances to a SmartMedia/USB storage device in the File mode. 
The Performance Play mode lets you perform a variety of general editing operations on the selected Performance. For more detailed and 
comprehensive editing operations, use the Performance Edit mode.
nThe parameters that have the same name in the Performance Play mode and in the Performance Edit mode have the same functions and settings.
Performance Play mode[PERFORM] → Performance selection
[F1] PLAY
TCH (Transmit Channel)Same as in Voice Play mode. 
These parameters are available both in the Voice mode and the Performance mode regardless of the selected Voice 
or Performance. OCT (Octave)
ASA (ASSIGN A), 
ASB (ASSIGN B)
nTCH (Transmit Channel), OCT (Octave), ASA (ASSIGN A), and ASB (ASSIGN B) settings do not belong to each Performance. Because of this, these are not stored as an 
individual Performance in the Performance Store mode (page 220). 
AS1 (ASSIGN 1), 
AS2 (ASSIGN 2)Indicates the values obtained by controlling the respective Knobs (printed “ASSIGN 1” and “ASSIGN 2”) when the 
lamps of both the [PAN/SEND] and [TONE] buttons are turned on. The functions assigned to these knobs depend on 
the setting of the Voice assigned to each Part of the Performance.
[SF1] ARP1 (Arpeggio 1) - [SF5] 
ARP5 (Arpeggio 5)You can register the desired Arpeggio types to these buttons and call them up any time during your keyboard 
performance. Refer to page 70 in the Quick Guide section. 
[F2] VOICE
From this display you can select a Voice for each Part and determine the note range it can be played from.
[SF1] ADD INT 
(Add Internal Voice)Press this button to assign an internal Voice to the selected Part.
[SF2] ADD PLG 
(Add Plug-in Voice)Press this button to assign a Plug-in Voice to the selected Part. 
[SF3] DELETEPressing this button deletes the Voice assignment for the selected Part, leaving the Part blank.
[SF4] LIMIT L (Note Limit Low)This sets the lowest note of the range over which the Voice of the selected Part sounds. Simultaneously hold down 
this button and press the desired key on the keyboard to set the note. 
[SF5] LIMIT H (Note Limit High)This sets the highest note of the range over which the Voice of the selected Part sounds. Simultaneously hold down 
this button and press the desired key on the keyboard to set the note.
[F3] EFFECT
Pressing the [F3] EFFECT button in the Performance Play mode calls up the same EFFECT display in the Performance Edit mode ([PERFORM] → [EDIT] → 
[COMMON] → [F6] EFFECT). From this display, you can set the effect related parameters for the current Performance. See page 215.
[F4] PORTA (Portamento)
From this display you can set the Portamento parameters. Portamento is used to create a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to 
the next.
PortaSw (Portamento Switch)Determines whether Portamento is on or off for all Parts. (This is a global switch and overrides the individual Part 
settings in Part Switch below.)
Settings:off, on
PortaTime (Portamento Time)Determines the pitch transition time. This parameter offsets the same parameter in Part Edit (page 216). Higher 
values result in longer transition times. 
Settings:-64 ~ 0 ~ +63
PartSwitchDetermines whether Portamento is on or off for each individual Part. This is available only when the PortaSw (above) 
is set to on.

[SF2] MEQ (Master EQ)From this display you can apply five-band equalization to all Parts of the selected Performance. You can raise or 
lower the signal level at the Frequency of each band (LOW, LOWMID, MID, HIGHMID, HIGH). 
SHAPEDetermines whether the equalizer type used is Shelving or Peaking. The Peaking type attenuates/boosts the signal 
at the specified Frequency setting, whereas the Shelving type attenuates/boosts the signal at frequencies above or 
below the specified Frequency setting. This parameter is available only for the LOW and HIGH frequency bands.
Settings:shelv (Shelving type), peak (Peaking type)
FREQ (Frequency)Determines the center frequency. Frequencies around this point are attenuated/boosted by the Gain setting.
Settings:LOW: Shelving 32Hz ~ 2.0kHz, Peaking 63Hz ~ 2.0kHz
LOWMID, MID, HIGHMID: 100Hz ~ 10.0kHz

[F4] CTL ASN (Controller Assign)
You can assign Control Change numbers to the controllers listed below, letting you use the hardware controllers on the keyboard to alter the sound of external 
MIDI devices, via the appropriate MIDI messages.  When the MOTIF ES receives Control Change data corresponding to the settings here, the internal tone 
generator responds as if the instruments controllers were used.
BC (Breath Controller)Determines the Control Change number generated when you apply breath pressure to the Breath Controller 
connected to the BREATH connector.
RB (Ribbon Controller)Determines the Control Change number generated when you run your finger across the surface of the Ribbon 
Controller.

PB (Pitch Bend) Upper, 
PB (Pitch Bend) LowerThese two parameters are available for Parts 1 - 4 to which the internal Normal Voices are assigned. These 
determine the pitch change range (in semitones) of the Pitch Bend wheel for the Part’s Voice. For example, a Lower 
setting of -12 would result in the pitch being lowered up to a maximum of one octave (12 semitones) when the Pitch 
Bend wheel is moved downwards. Similarly, setting the Upper parameter to +12 would result in a maximum pitch 
rise of one octave when the wheel is moved upwards.
Settings:-48 ~0 ~+24
PB (Pitch Bend) RangeThis parameter is available for Parts 1 - 4 to which the internal Drum Voices are assigned and Plug-in Parts 1 - 3. This
