Reference
n When this parameter is set to “MIDI,” make sure that the
external MIDI instrument connected to the MOTIF XF will
transmit the MIDI clock to the MOTIF XF.
n When MIDI Sync is set to “MTC,” Songs and Arpeggios cannot
play back in the Song mode but Patterns and Arpeggios can
play back in the Pattern mode.
n MTC (MIDI Time Code) allows simultaneous synchronization of
multiple audio devices via standard MIDI cables. It includes
data corresponding to hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.
The MOTIF XF does not transmit MTC.
n MMC (MIDI Machine Control) allows remote control of
multitrack recorders, MIDI sequencers, etc. An MMC-
compatible multitrack recorder, for example, will automatically
respond to start, stop, fast forward, and fast reverse operations
performed on the controlling sequencer, thus keeping
playback of the sequencer and multitrack recorder aligned.
6 Clock Out
Determines whether MIDI clock (F8H) messages will be
transmitted via MIDI.
Settings: on, off
7 Sequencer Control
Determines whether Sequencer Control signals—start
(FAH), continue (FBH), stop (FCH), and song position
pointer (F2H)—will be received and/or transmitted via the
MIDI OUT/USB terminal.
Settings: off, in, out, in/out
off
Not transmitted/recognized.
in
Recognized but not transmitted.
out
Transmitted but not recognized.
in/out
Transmitted/recognized.
8 MTC Start Offset (MIDI Time Code Start Offset)
Determines the specific time code point from which
sequence playback starts, when MTC is received. This
feature can be used to accurately align playback of this
synthesizer with an external MTC-compatible device.
Settings: Hour: Minute: Second: Frame
Hour: 00 – 23
Minute: 00 – 59
Second: 00 – 59
Frame: 00 – 29
9 Bank Select
This switch enables or disables Bank Select messages,
both in transmission and reception. When this is set to “on,”
this synthesizer responds to incoming Bank Select
messages, and it also transmits appropriate Bank Select
messages (when using the panel). When this is set to “off,”
Bank Select messages cannot be transmitted/received.
Settings: off, on
) Program Change
This switch enables or disables Program Change
messages, both in transmission and reception. When this is
set to “on,” this synthesizer responds to incoming Program
Change messages, and it also transmits appropriate
Program Change messages (when using the panel). When
this is set to “off,” Program Change messages cannot be
transmitted/received.
Settings: off, on
! Local Control
This determines whether or not the tone generator of the
instrument responds to your keyboard playing. Normally,
this should be set to “on”—since you’ll want to hear the
sound of the MOTIF XF as you play it. Even if this is set to
“off,” the data will be transmitted via MIDI. Also, the internal
tone generator block will respond to messages received
via MIDI.
Settings: off, on
@ Receive Bulk
Determines whether or not Bulk Dump data can be
received.
Settings: protect (not received), on (received)
# Controller Reset
Determines the status of the controllers (Modulation Wheel,
Aftertouch, Foot Controller, Breath Controller, Knobs, etc.)
when switching between voices. When this is set to “hold,”
the controllers are kept at the current setting. When this is
set to “reset,” the controllers are reset to the default states
(below).
Settings: hold, reset
If you select “reset,” the controllers will be reset to the following states/
positions:
$ Bulk Dump Interval
Determines the interval time of the Bulk Dump transmission
when the Bulk Dump function is used, the Bulk Request is
received, or system exclusive messages recorded to a
sequence track are played back. The Bulk Dump function
lets you save the data in the Edit buffer (DRAM) or Flash
ROM and transmit as Bulk data (system exclusive
message) to an external MIDI instrument or sequence
software on a computer. This data can then be sent back to
the instrument, restoring all the settings you archived.
Settings: 0 – 900 ms
n When the Bulk Dump function is used or the Bulk Request is
received, the maximum value of the interval time is fixed to
30ms, meaning that the Bulk transmission is executed at an
interval time of 30ms, even if this parameter is set to a value
above 31ms. When system exclusive messages recorded to a
track of a Song or Pattern are played back, value settings
above 31ms will be available, meaning that the Bulk
transmission is executed with the interval time as set here,
regardless of the tempo setting of the Song or Pattern.
