Hello, please can someone help me? I have a Motif XS Rackmount, and I simply wish to play different voices on midi channels 1>16. Right now, I can only hear whatever voice I choose on Channel 1. If possible, can you give me an idiots step by step direction on how to do this. For instance, I want piano on CH. 1 and organ on Ch. 2, and a bass, on CH. 3. etc. I’m using both Pro Tools 10, and MOTU’s Digital Performer V.7 with a Mac Pro 8 core. I use a MOTU Midi Timepiece for my other synths. If any other info is needed on my system, please let me know. Thank you for any help give. H,L, and C, Shawn |

There are two main MODES on the Motif-Rack XS:
If you want to use the Motif-Rack XS as a multi-timbral tone generator, simply press the [MULTI] button. You can initialize a MULTI for programming use as follows: While in MULTI mode press and hold these two buttons: [MULTI] + [ENTER] - this will create an “Initialize Multi” with 16 separate PARTS - all will have pianos assigned but you can change this to any sounds you want.
Press [EDIT]
You navigate through the Motif-Rack XS with the UP/DOWN, LEFT/RIGHT CURSOR arrows and the [ENTER] button.
Move the CURSOR to number [1] and press [ENTER] to view and select a sound for PART 1. Highlight “VOICE” > press [ENTER]
You should really read the OWNER’s MANUAL to get comfortable with navigating the parameters - it can be tricky (but only at first and only if you haven’t bothered to read the very basic navigation stuff, it is highly recommended). |
