Troubleshooting

 Are the filter settings appropriate?

Excessively high filter resonance settings can cause distortion.

 Is any of the following volume parameters set so high that clipping is occurring?

Sound is cut off.

 Is the entire sound (via your keyboard playback and Song/Pattern/Arpeggio playback) exceeding the maximum polyphony of

the MOTIF XF?

For information about the maximum polyphony, refer to the Reference Manual.

Only one note sounds at a time.

 When this situation occurs, the Mono/Poly parameter in the current mode is set to “mono.” If you wish to play chords, set this

parameter to “poly.”

Pitch or intervals are wrong.

 Is the Master Tune parameter in the Utility mode set to a value other than “0”?

 Is the Note Shift parameter in the Utility mode set to a value other than “0”?

 When the voice produces a wrong pitch, is the appropriate tuning system selected from Micro Tuning parameter in the Voice

Edit mode?

 When the Voice produces a wrong pitch, is the LFO Pitch Modulation Depth in the Voice Edit mode set too high?

 When the Performance/Song/Pattern produces a wrong pitch, is the Note Shift parameter of each Part set to a value other

than “0”?

 When the Song/Pattern playback produces a wrong pitch, is the Note Shift parameter in the Play FX display set to a value

other than “0”?

No effect is applied.

 Is the [EFFECT BYPASS] button turned off?

 Have the REVERB and CHORUS knobs been turned fully counter-clockwise (to the minimum)?

 Have any or all of the Elements’ Insertion Effect Output parameters been set to “thru” in the effect setting display in the Voice

Edit mode?

 Have any or all of the effect types been set to “thru” or “off”?
