Master Edit
The Master Edit mode lets you create your own original Master programs—containing up to eight different Zones (keyboard
areas)—by editing the various parameters. To enter the Master Edit mode, press the [EDIT] button in the Master Play mode.
Press the [EXIT] button to return to the original display.
Common Edit and Zone Edit
In the Master mode, you can divide the keyboard into (up
to) eight independent areas (called “Zones”). Different
MIDI channels and different functions of the Knobs and
Control Sliders can be assigned to each Zone. This makes
it possible to control several Parts of the multi-timbral tone
generator simultaneously by a single keyboard or to control
Voices of an external MIDI instrument over several different
channels in addition to the internal Voices of this
synthesizer itself—letting you use the MOTIF XF to
effectively do the work of several keyboards. You can set
the parameters related to the eight Zones in the Master Edit
mode and store the settings as a User Master.
There are two types of Master Edit displays: those for
editing parameters common to all eight Zones and those
for editing individual Zones.
