1 Keyboard
The MOTIF XF6 features a 61-key keyboard, while the MOTIF
XF7 has 76 keys and the MOTIF XF8 has 88 keys. All are
equipped with a touch response feature (both initial touch
and aftertouch). With initial touch, the instrument senses how
strongly or softly you play the keys, and uses that playing
strength to affect the sound in various ways, depending on
the selected Voice. With aftertouch, the instrument senses
how much pressure you apply to the keys while playing, and
uses that pressure to affect the sound in various ways,
depending on the selected Voice.
Moreover, any of a variety of functions can be assigned to
aftertouch for each Voice.
2 Pitch Bend wheel

functions to this controller.
3 Modulation wheel

This controller is touch sensitive, and is controlled by running
