have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service

personnel.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument,

since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the

instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons,

switches or connectors.

• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high

or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent

hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the

ears, consult a physician.

Saving and backing up your data

• DRAM data (see page 186) is lost when you turn off the power to

the instrument. Save the data to a SmartMedia/USB storage

device.

• Never attempt to turn off the power while data is being written to

Flash ROM (while an “Executing...” or “Please keep power on”

message is shown). Turning the power off in this state results in

loss of all user data and may cause the system to freeze (due to

corruption of data in the Flash ROM). This means that this

synthesizer may not be able to start up properly, even when

turning the power on next time.

Backing up the SmartMedia/external media

•To protect against data loss through media damage, we

recommend that you save your important data onto two

SmartMedia/external media.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modiﬁcations to the instrument, or data that is lost

or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Owner’s Manual

Main Features

Wide range of

dynamic and authentic voices

. Use

the

Category Search

function to quickly call up the

sounds you want, based on their instrument type.

Performance mode

lets you use four different voices

together — in layers or in a keyboard split.

Integrated Sampling Sequencer

— seamlessly

combines audio and MIDI recording.

•

Full

Sample recording and editing

features, and up

to 512MB of sample memory (with optional DIMM

modules).

•

Wide

data compatibility

lets you load AIFF and WAV

ﬁles, as well as samples and program/voice data

from other popular samplers, such as the Yamaha A-

series.

•

Convenient

Resampling

function lets you sample

the sound of the MOTIF itself directly. Play your own

melodies, riffs and rhythms — and use them as

samples.

•

Unique

Slice feature

automatically chops up your

rhythms and riffs into their individual beats and notes.

This lets you manipulate the component parts of your

sample loops as MIDI data, and gives you the power

to easily change tempo and even the rhythmic feel,

without disturbing the pitch or sound quality.

Extensive

effect processing

, with Reverb (20 types),

Chorus (49 types), eight separate Insertion blocks

each of which has two blocks

(total 116 types),

Master Effect (8 types), and a digital equalizer (3-band

Part EQ and 5-band Master EQ).

Comprehensive

real-time control with four knobs

and four sliders

— letting you adjust ﬁlter, levels,

effects, EG, and more, while you play.

Pattern mode

functions let you craft different rhythmic

sections and riffs as individual elements — which you

can easily and intuitively combine in real time to create

full rhythm tracks.

In addition to being able to create User voices in the

Voice mode, you can create special

Mixing voices

for

Songs and Patterns. These voices can be edited and

stored in the Song/Pattern mode, making it

exceptionally easy and convenient to create voices for

use with Songs and Patterns.

The versatile

Arpeggio

feature automatically plays a

variety of sequenced phrases in response to the keys you

play. This function is especially powerful with drum voices

— letting you easily call up various rhythm patterns at the

touch of a key, and providing instant inspiration for song

creation and performance. When used with normal

voices, the Arpeggio phrase changes harmonically and

melodically with the chords you play, giving you intuitive

control over the patterns as you compose or perform.

Arpeggios can be triggered not only according to the keys

you play, but also by how strongly you play them — for

even greater performance power.

Once you’ve collected all the audio samples, loops,

MIDI data, and patterns you need for your song, use

Pattern Chain

to arrange the pieces in real time. This

hands-on approach makes it easier than ever to come

up with great ideas and amazing songs.

Song Scene

is another powerful tool that lets you take

“snapshots” of the sequencer track settings (such as

pan, volume, track mute and so on). Then, during

playback or recording, simply switch among the

Scenes for instant, dynamic changes.

Master mode

— for using the MOTIF ES as a master

keyboard controller (with independent Zones), and for

easily reconﬁguring the instrument between Voice/

Performance play and Song/Pattern play in live

applications.

Exceptionally

easy-to-understand interface

with two-

tiered operation buttons: [F1] - [F6] and [SF1] - [SF5]

Remote Control

— for operating your favorite

sequencing software from the panel controls. Mute

tracks, control transport (Play, Stop, Record, etc.), mix

both MIDI and audio tracks (up to 16) with this

instrument’s knobs and sliders, pan the tracks, control

EQ, and tweak effect sends — all without ever touching

the mouse.

Three

Modular Synthesis Plug-in System

slots let

you upgrade the MOTIF ES with a completely new

synthesizer or sound-processing engine. These Plug-in

boards give you more voices, more effects, more

polyphony and more instrument parts. Plus, special

Plug-in voices have already been programmed and

stored to the MOTIF ES, ready to be played as soon as

you install the proper board.

A full rear panel of input/output connections provides

maximum interfacing ﬂexibility. These include

Assignable Outputs, A/D Inputs, MIDI, two USB

connectors and a memory card slot. Moreover, an

optional AIEB2 or mLAN16E board can be installed.

The

mLAN interface
