I confess I am learning how to use this wonderful Keyboard (Motif 06). My question is - I have all the saved favorites (you know with the F5 key) My question is - is there a way to bounce between two voices (like on a TV remote) or do you have to scroll the wheel back to where you were before. Say I want to go from the Sweet Flute voice to the Crunch organ sound and back again - is there a quick way to do it without spinning the wheel - please advise David Snetsinger |

Are you aware of the capability of splitting the keyboard and putting both sounds on the same Performance setting? You can use the lower portion of the keyboard (say, C-2 to C3) for your flute sound and raise the ‘tone’ of this voice either +12 or +24 (1 or 2 octaves) to get its sound in the right range. Likewise you can put the organ on the upper portion of the keyboard (C#3 to C8) and lower the tone -12 or -24, or the organ might sound alright with the default 0 tone setting. If you don’t know how to program the Performance settings check the manual under this section. I don’t know how the Motif manual is, but my old S90 manual was tough to understand when I was a complete newbie programmer so don’t be shy about asking questions if you’ve never programmed a Yamaha before. There are other options available like layering sounds (strings on top of a piano, for example). If you are aware of the capability to split the keyboard for different sounds and for whatever reason it won’t work for you, then I suggest putting each sound on a Performance setting next to each other (e.g., A-3 and A-4). All you have to do is hit one button to change the settings, though you will have about a 0.5 second sound outage while it switches. |
