Hello. I have already figured out how the Performance mode works. What can the Master mode do? What is there that is not in Performance mode?

What can the Master mode do? What is there that is not in Performance mode?

Think of the Master mode as a memory bank with 128 locations, which can be used to save your favourite setups. A Master program recalls the main mode (Voice/Performance/Song/Pattern) of the instrument, as well as the voice(s) used. This is particularly handy for live work, since you can e.g. organize and name your setups according to your song list.

In Master mode, you can also split the keyboard into zones (up to 4), each having its own MIDI channel and controller settings. A zone can point to the internal tone generator, or to external MIDI instruments, allowing you to play them all from the Motif ES keyboard.

You can read more about the Master mode in this article.

Thank you Henry! As always a qualified answer).Now this article needs to be carefully studied and remembered too.
You learn how to use the synthesizer, and then the time comes to change it (maybe) - and the next Motif XS-XF models have the same logic of menus and commands in the synthesizer?

(...) and the next Motif XS-XF models have the same logic of menus and commands in the synthesizer?

I don’t own those instruments, but I’m quite sure you’d find the structures and terminology familiar. The larger displays would probably make menu navigation easier, though.

I own xs,xf,and moxf. The xs and xf are similar with master mode.
