Like play with the filter, envelopes, lfo’s etc?  Also, can i make patches from scratch?  i.e. combine two different waveforms apply filters to them, apply pitch envelopes to them?  And lastly, can i do all of this from my computer and control the motif instead of doing it directly on the rack?

by the way i posted a similar question a long time ago...i should specify this is a motif rack.  not one of the newer models.

anyone?  I’d really appreciate a response.  Thanks very much in advance.

Just got my Motif Rack: Can i edit the patches in it?

Yes. They are not called “patches”, they are called VOICES. I mention that in case you open the manual and start looking for “patches” and do not find it. Look for VOICE EDIT.

Like play with the filter, envelopes, lfo’s etc?

Yes, exactly. All of the above. 

Also, can i make patches from scratch?  i.e. combine two different waveforms apply filters to them, apply pitch envelopes to them?

Yes, of course. 

And lastly, can i do all of this from my computer and control the motif instead of doing it directly on the rack

Yes, you can. You will need to download the STUDIO MANAGER (host applicaton) and the Motif-Rack Editors for your particular computer type.
