Reset Loop Timing When changing loop speeds and accessing the unique Tenori-On layer loop points, its possible to have different tracks running out of sync with each other. This can create a unique musical feel however, at some musical moment, its good to be able to reset all loop points. In the original Tenori-On firmware this feature was buried deep within the menu structures. However, with Version 2.0, this is now available from the top panel buttons. Simply by hitting the combination of L4 and R1 all tracks will reset to their original loop timing points. User Scale A feature that has been highly requested by the Tenori-On enthusiasts is the ability to expand and edit the instruments global note scaling. Rather than being confined to a range of 16 consecutive notes per layer, its now possible to create a global User Scale allowing different notes from different octaves to be accessed and sequenced within one single layer. This new function will open up many new musical dimensions for the Tenori-On player as any note can now be assigned to a layer. Swing With a new Swing function implemented in Version 2.0 its now possible to give the entire in strument a new level of musical feel. With a -23/+23 swing parameter its also possible to fine tune this feel using the jog wheel in real-time. The new Swing feature is especially creative when Slaved to an external DAW as it allows the Tenori-On to swing while the DAW remains rigid.. The new Version 2.0 firmware is available for free download from: http://www.global.yamaha.com/tenori-on/ downloads/#a04

You can change these FM based Synthesizer Piano Types in the following parameters: Decay (Decay Time) Release (Release Time) Ris Tone (Release Tone) AtkTimbr (Attack Timbre) OscDetun (Oscillator Detune) Pre Amplifier Gain Pre Amplifier High Pre Amplifier High Mid Pre Amplifier Low Pre Amplifier Low Mid Though theres no need for the CP1 user to muck about technical details of FM synthesis (since there are several high-class Preset Voices), some background information is always a good thing. The FM synthesis was developed in 1967 by the american scientist Prof. Dr. John Chowning at the Stanford University and was made public in 1973. One year later the Yamaha Corporation bought the patents
on this revolutionary synthesis system. In 1983 the Yamaha DX7 was introduced and put the synthesizer world upside down, leaving synthesizer legends like Moog or Oberheim behind. Countless music productions featured the all new sound of the DX7 having its strengths in unique E-Pianos, Synth Basses, Harps, Organs, and metallic sounds. The dynamic range of these sounds became the standard for all future digital sounds. FM is the abbreviation of Frequency Modulation. Here oscillators are modulated by other oscillators their amplitude and frequency then characterizes the sound. In the Yamaha terminology of the FM synthesis these oscillators are called Operators. The most simple link is having Operator 1 (Carrier) modulated by Operator 2 (Modulator). The synthesis engine of the DX7 features six Operators (Op) for a sound, making the possible linkings called Algorithms from Operator to Operator much more complex.

sound. The basic sound of the Carrier Operator a pure sine wave becomes a with overtones enriched sine wave when being modulated in a simple way. Complex modulations with corresponding frequency settings result in square waves, sawtooth waves or complex sound spectrums that are not available on In the upper example Op1 (Carrier) is modulated by Op2 (Modulator). Op3 is modulated by Op3 and Op4 sequentially while the output signal of Op5 is fed back to its own input. This feedback loop significantly enhances the harmonic spectrum of Operator 5. Op6 is not modulated. In addition several multi-stage Envelope Generators are featured for each Operator making the synthesis even more complex. analog synthesizers.
The editing of Voices is mostly about the amplitude and frequency of the Operators. The amplitude of a Modulator determines the intensity of the modulation. The higher the amplitude the more overtones are added to the Carrier. More overtones result in a brighter
After the groundbreaking success of the DX7 the FM synthesis has found its way into a large range of Yamaha synthesizers.

This list contains only some of the most popular machines: TX7 TX816 DX21 TX81Z DX27 DX100 FB01 DX7II TX802 V50 SY77 SY99 FS1R DX200 EX5
The last device from Yamaha using FM was the plugin board PLG150-DX which can be installed into host synthesizers like the MOTIF ES, MOTIF-RACK ES, or S90 ES. The PLG150-DX is a (in most points) true-to-theoriginal replica of the DX7. Like the DX7 the board features 16 voices of polyphony, 64 User Voices, and 912 Preset Voices. The parameter Unison - known from the DX7II is available, too. The editor software DX Simulator is a perfect tool for a comfortable editing of the PLG150-DX, with its graphical user interface resembling to a virtual DX7. Peter Krischker

This first part First steps will give you a broad overview of the features and outstanding qualities of the instrument. Its main target is that you will find your way on the instrument fast and simple, whether you are a fresh starter on a S-series model or are upgrading from a S90 ES for example.
The re-designed user interface groups control elements with graphical and colour means.
Concept
The concept behind the new S series focusses even more on live performing musicians. Parameters and functions that were buried in complex menus on older S models are now equipped with own buttons and knobs for instant access and thus literally brought to the surface. The display gives the most relevant feedback to your operation. More complex editing processes are done with the free Editor software for PC and Mac. Full integration into a DAW software like the included Cubase AI is the next logical step to round out the concept.

Vice versa this also applies to the end of the Bank selection. If both LEDs are lit you can select Banks in both directions. If the button CATEGORY SEATCH is pressed you can use the Group buttons A H to select instrument categories. By pressing a Group button more than once you select the category displayed below. You can also use the DATA wheel to select main categories or use the INC and DEC buttons under the wheel these are also used to select the sub category (after having pressed the DOWN button on Sub). You must confirm your selection of category and sub category by pressing the ENTER button. Then you can use the DATA wheel again to browse through the list of programs matching your category. The sounds can be previewed by simply playing on the keyboard. In this list view the buttons UP and DOWN have the
own and thus can be selected as described above. But the favorites category has to have at least one entry to be active. Furthermore you can use the initially empty USER BANK 4 this is new for upgraders - to store sounds. Refer to the following table to get to know the functions of the Number buttons in the different modes of the synthesizer. We will come back to this table in the following parts of this workshop series. The all new PANEL LOCK function is to avoid the disruption of your dynamic live performance by accidentally pressing the wrong button at the wrong time. While PANEL LOCK is active actually all buttons are out of function except for the MASTER VOLUME slider.
same function as the INC and DEC buttons; from the sub category view the buttons RIGHT and ENTER work the same way to call up the list view. You should try selecting some sounds to become familiar with the way the buttons work. And if you are into discipline and efficiency you should try to press SHIFT + FAVORITE to build your own list of favorite sounds. This is confirmed in the list with a cross next to the programs name later in the display a heart will appear behind the program number of your favorite list members. These favorites are a category on their

The bottom line MIC of the knob functions assigns the knobs to control the integrated A/D / MIC input. The parameters in this line are available for the Voice, too. But instead with the knobs they are controlled by the four ZONE faders. In the Voice mode only the fader for ZONE 1 is active. You can not use the DATA wheel or the INC/DEC buttons to change the parameters from within the Voice play mode. They are still used to select Voices
as long you have not called up an edit function by pressing the EDIT button. The five buttons underneath the knobs can be used to activate/deactivate the various effect sections (if EFFECT ON/OFF is selected). All settings made here are not stored with a Voice this also applies to the settings you make with the OCTAVE and TRANSPOSE buttons. But these settings remain active even if you select another Voice. The ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION buttons are used to activate certain functions stored within a Voice this topic will be explained in a later part of this workshop. But you are definitely invited to use them while you are exploring the Voices and let yourself be surprised of the possibilities they feature.

The START/STOP button near the mode buttons has no function in this context. By the way: You can use SHIFT + TAP to tap in the tempo for the Arpeggio. The PART ARP buttons in the matrix start or stop the Arpeggio of the corresponding Part.
for the Voices: All edits can be stored, an empty Bank for User Performances is available, too. Some words about another all new and powerful tool but without going into much detail:
The Performance-Creator
The HOLD buttons determine whether the Arpeggio should be played only as long as you press the keys or should play on (hold). You can use these to achieve break effects by deactivating more than one HOLD button while playback is running. So its best to try and experiment with an ArpeggioPerformance to get to know these buttons. You will discover that this section is the tool for interacting with the Performance. Using this matrix gets you lightyears away from simply playing patterns. And remember: All those functions are available from the surface of the instrument! The faders below the matrix can be used to control the volume of each Part of a Performance. The faders work independent from the Part Select buttons above. You can use the faders to control panorama and effect sends.too, by selecting these function with the button left to the faders. Notice that the initial value of a fader is displayed again, to make it easy to come back to it without having to use the Compare function. And like With just one press on the button SPLIT or LAYER in the PERFORMANCE Creator section you can set up, well, a Split or a Layer. For instance select a Piano Voice in the Voice mode. Then press the LAYER button. The Performance Creator now lays a Strings Voice underneath your Piano of course you are allowed to select any Voice you want. If you press the SPLIT button, the keyboard is divided into two ranges and the Performance Creator lets you select the Voices to be used for these ranges.
File mode
But for now you should try the described functions for yourself and make your own experiences. Since you will get to make fine results you might want to save them. Thats why Im introducing you to the File mode. It is recommended to save your work on a regular basis.

You can either use the internal memory of your S70XS / S90 XS (with a capacity of 192 MB) or an attached external USB memory device. However you definitely should back up your data to a hard drive of your computer, on a CD or DVD or even a remote server within the internet. Important note: The internal memory is deleted when performing a Factory Set (which for instance is needed after updating the firmware). To store your data press the FILE button. The display asks you whether you want to Save or Load. Select Save and confirm with the ENTER button. Now select the media you want to save your data to. If an USB memory is attached you are able to select this instead of the internal memory. Use the cursor buttons to select the media and confirm with ENTER. The instrument suggests (NEW FILE) - confirm with ENTER and select the File Type: All, All Voice, or Seq. Chain. After having confirmed the File Type with ENTER you are requested to enter a name. Use the cursor buttons and the DATA wheel to select the character, the INC button confirms the character and moves the cursor to the next character. The underline is used to delete a single character. After having entered the name, confirm with ENTER and INC. Thank you for your interest. hp
Conclusion
Above all: Have fun with and by exploring your new instrument. Id be happy if you come back and read the next part of this workshop where I will go into detail on a certain part of this exciting new Stage Synthesizer.

The first part of this workshop dealt with the basics concerning the creation of a Mix Voice sound library. This time we are up to actually doing it. If you are very familiar with the MOTIF XS you can skip the first part and begin right here. The main target is to combine Voices and Performances of different soundsets in one single library.
Use the cursor to highlight the file EuropeanLoyaltyV2.X0A within its directory (Dir) Press SF2 Load + YES Use the following steps to copy an User Voice of the current soundset including its samples, effect and arpeggio settings into a Song Mixing. Then we will transform it into a Mix Voice. SONG MIXING Select Part 1 EDIT F1 Voice SF1 Voice Param. with Voice = on Bank = USR1, Voice = 010 Child of Mine STORE + ENTER + YES These steps have copied the Voice Child of Mine including its arpeggio settings to the current Song Mixing. The insert effects of the Voice are also applied, since the first eight Parts of an initialized Song have automatically set this function active.

Only the Voices settings for Chorus and Reverb have to be transferred via an additional Copy Job to the Mixing if you wish to use them: MIXING JOB F3 Copy SF2 Voice (Mix Job Copy Voice) Activate the selectors for Current Mix, Reverb, and Chorus ENTER + YES + EXIT STORE + ENTER + YES Now the System Effects (Chorus + Reverb) are transferred into the Song Mixing as well. The copied Voice should now sound exactly like in the Voice mode. Since the System Effects Reverb and Chorus are available just once in a Mixing this is possible for only one single Voice. Usually you would select settings that suit most Parts, not only one. Each Part has its own Rev Send and Cho Send levels to determine how much the the System Effects are applied to them. The following steps transform the User Voice from the Mixing Part into a Mix Voice: MIXING F6 Vce Edit STORE (destination memory 001 is set) Press ENTER and YES to confirm STORE + ENTER + YES For Part 1 of the Mixing now MV (Mix Voice) is displayed as the Bank instead of USR1. Now the Voice Child of Mine is independent from the User Voice memory and can be edited with Vce Edit. The User Waveforms contained in the Voice are also stored in the Song. To add this new Mix Voice into your Mix Voice Library you should give the Song the same name as the Voice and then store the Song onto your USB memory stick.
These are the steps to do this: SONG Move the cursor to the free field to right of the Song number SF6 CHAR Enter the name ENTER FILE Set all song as File Type Enter the Voices name as the file name ENTER + YES Now you can use the steps explained above to transform some more User Voices to Mix Voices. If you use one Song for each Voice youll get the best overview of your Mix Voice Library. One all song file can contain up to 64 Songs, which can loaded separately. In our Library now each Song meets one User Voice including its arpeggio and effect settings and its samples. Since you are able to combine up to 16 Mix Voices per Song you can have more than 64 Voices in your Mix Voice Library. For instance you could combine 16 Voices of a certain sound category in one Mixing. In this case you should somehow document which Voices are set to which Parts since only the Songs name is displayed when you are about to load the Song containing your Mix Voices from your all songs file. The Mix Voices themselves can only be seen after the Song is loaded. You can use the MIXING Job F3 Copy SF1 Part to copy Mix Voices from one Song to another. And you can copy Mix Voices back to User Voice Banks. Simply press F6 Vce Edit and STORE from within the Mixing mode. Then select USR1, 2, or 3 as destination Bank and a destination Voice memory and confirm with ENTER + YES.

Now the Voice from Part 1 is independent from the User Voice memory and can be edited with Vce Edit. The User Waveforms contained in the Voice are also stored in the Song. Repeat the steps for the Parts 2 4, presuming your Performance consists of four Parts copied to the Mixing. Instead of a Performance with four User Voices we now have a Song Mixing containing four Mix Voices which are independent from the content of the User Voice Banks. To add this Mix Performance to your Mix Voice Library you should give the Song the same name as the Performance and then store the Song onto your USB memory stick. These are the steps to do this: SONG Move the cursor to the free field to right of the Song number SF6 CHAR Enter the name ENTER FILE Set all song as File Type Enter the Performances name as the file name ENTER + YES

Direct Performance Recording allows to record complex Arpeggio arrangements directly from the Performance mode into a Song. The recording is actually done in the Song or Pattern mode the instrument automatically copies all needed Voice and Arpeggio settings of the Performance. Heres the procedure of the Direct Performance Recording: MODE PERFORM Select a Performance Press the RECORD button This calls up the menu Performance Rec Setup Select song as Sequencer mode If you activate Key On Start aktivieren. an arrow appears next to the keyboard symbol. Now the recording starts as soon as a key is hit. Play on the keyboard, a chord sequence or a melody or both without pressing the PLAY button The click can be turned off with F5 Stop the recording MODE SONG. Press PLAY to play back the recorded Song All Performance settings have automatically been copied to the Song in the moment the recording startet. Hence you have created a complete Song with up to four Tracks / Parts including their Mixing settings. Afterwards you can transform the User Voices assigned to the Parts to Mix Voices as described above.
Im hoping to have provided you with all skills and knowledge to let you build your own Mix Voice Library. Try and start with some Voices or Performances. You will soon get to know whether this way of sound management is suitable for you or not. One of the main advantages is to have all your favorite sounds Voices or Performances combined in one library on an USB memory stick. Peter Krischker

The following contains a selection of questions and their answers concerning Yamaha synthesizers, found in the Yamaha Synth Forum and answered by the Yamaha Europe Support Team. On the request of many readers this and the following editions will contain the most important FAQs from the MOTIF News Guides 2007 to 2009. Since the MOTIF News Guide is now published in two languages (German and English) it gained a lot of new readers which unfortunately have missed the older FAQs. And all long-time readers will get a smart overview..
instead of FC1. This deactivates the controller number thats produced by FC1: #011 Expression. The label Vol (MOTIF ES / S90 ES / MO) also applies to Expression. Source: Yamaha Support
Id like to use the foot controller connected to FC1 to control the volume for just one single Part of the Mixing mode. Deactivating FC1 via RCV SW does not work.
Answer:
The RCV SW is used to filter certain controllers for each Part of a Performance or Mixing. In the case of the volume control you have to deactivate Vol (MOTIF ES / S90 ES / MO) resp. Volume/Expression (MOTIF XS)

They mean complex live Performances that are created within the Song or Pattern Mixing mode. By contrast to the Performance mode these modes feature 16 Parts. In a Hybrid Live Performance the needed Parts are set to the same MIDI receive channel. This is done in Mixing Edit Track Select F1 VOICE SF2 MODE ReceiveCh... (MOTIF XS = F1 Voice SF1 Voice Receive Channel...). As described in the following example you can combine more than one Performance within one Mixing. The Performances are then selected using the Track Select buttons 1 3.
Performance 3 (5 Parts / 6 Voices) Part 3 = Receive-Channel 3 Part 12 = Receive-Channel 3 Part 13 = Receive-Channel 3 Part 14 = Receive-Channel 3 Part 15 = Receive-Channel 3 Part 16 = Receive-Channel 3 Now the first Performance can be played as soon as the Song or Pattern is ready on the MOTIF. The second Performance can be played on the MOTIF when Track Select button 2 is pressed. The third Performance can be played on the MOTIF when Track Select button 3 is pressed.
Performance 1 (5 Parts / 5 Voices) Part 1 = Receive-Channel 1 Part 4 = Receive-Channel 1 Part 5 = Receive-Channel 1 Part 6 = Receive-Channel 1 Part 7 = Receive-Channel 1 Performance 2 (5 Parts / 5 Voices) Part 2 = Receive-Channel 2 Part 8 = Receive-Channel 2 Part 9 = Receive-Channel 2 Part 10 = Receive-Channel 2 Part 11 = Receive-Channel 2

The Performances can also be played from an external keyboard that is sending on the corresponding MIDI transmit channel. Even both is possible: Performance 1 is played from the MOTIF while Performance 2 is played from an external keyboard sending on MIDI channel 2. Source: Yamaha Synthforum, Swagger Jacky

MOTIF XS
Is it possible to control the functionality of the buttons AF1 and AF2 on the MOTIF XS with a controller like a foot switch?
Answer:
On the MOTIF I would like to output the click track via the Assignable Out L&R and I want to assign this routing via SysEx events. What is the correct SysEx string for that?
Answer:
The AF buttons can be controlled via controllers like the modulation wheel (MW), foot switch (FS), foot controller (FC), or any other MIDI control events. For the Voice mode this controller assignment for AF1 + AF2 is done globally in UTILIY F3 VOICE SF3 Control. For the Performance, Song and Pattern Mixing mode the assignment is done individually for each Performance, Song, or Pattern (EDIT COMMON F3 Ctrl Asgn). But it is required that the Voice or at least one Voice of a Performance is actually using the XA Control (all AF off, AF1 on, AF2 on). Source: Yamaha Synthforum, Swagger Jacky / ProfSynth
On the MOTIF XS the SysEx string would be this: F0 43 10 7F 03 37 pp 1F 08 F7 On the MOTIF ES the SysEx string would be this: F0 43 10 7F 00 37 pp 1E 08 F7 The value pp indicates the Part number and thus must be set to match the Part that actually is used to play the click track. This would be 00 for Part 1, 01 for Part 2, 02 for Part 3, and so on. The second last data byte with the value 08 selects the output L&R. asL would be selected with the value 40, asR with the value 41. Source: Yamaha Synthforum, Swagger Jacky / ProfSynth
