Editing the Elements/ Drum Keys on the MOTIF-RACK XS
Editor
If you want to do detailed editing of the Elements/ Drum Keys of
the MOTIF-RACK XS, you can do that on the MOTIF-RACK XS
Editor. Included in the Element/ Drum Key settings are Oscillator,
Pitch, Filter, Amplitude, and EG (Envelope Generator), and other
parameters. For a complete list of the parameters, refer to
Element Edit (page 73) and Key Edit (page 84) in the Reference
section.
When both the MOTIF-RACK XS data and the MOTIF-RACK XS
Editor are synchronized, the settings in the MOTIF-RACK XS
Editor will be reflected to the same as in the MOTIF-RACK XS.
For details about how to connect the MOTIF-RACK XS to the
MOTIF-RACK XS Editor, refer to the section “Using the MOTIF-
RACK XS Editor” (page 23).
Assigning drum/percussion instruments to
individual keys
In the Drum Key Edit mode on the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor, you
can create your own original drum kits by assigning specific
instrument sounds to individual keys (in any desired order) and
edit detailed parameters for each key's sound. For detailed
instructions, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the MOTIF-RACK XS
Editor via the Help menu in the program.
Setting the drum key for independent open
and closed hi-hat sounds
In a real drum kit, some drum sounds cannot physically be
played simultaneously, such as open and closed hi-hats. You can
prevent different drum instruments from playing back
simultaneously by assigning them to the same Alternate Group
(page 84).
The preset Drum Voices have many such Alternate Group
assignments to ensure the most authentic, natural sound. When
creating a Voice from scratch, you can use this feature on the
MOTIF-RACK XS Editor—either to ensure authentic sound, or to
create special effects, where playing one sound cancels out a
previous one. For detailed instructions, refer to the Owner’s
Manual of the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor via the Help menu in the
program.
Determining how the Drum Voice responds
when the key is released
You can determine whether or not the selected Drum key
responds to MIDI Note Off messages in the Drum Key Edit on the
MOTIF-RACK XS Editor. Setting the “Receive Note Off”
parameter (page 84) to “off” can be useful for cymbal sounds
and other sustaining sounds. This lets you have the selected
sounds sustain to the length of their natural decay even if you
release the note, or when a Note Off message is received. If this
parameter is set to “on,” the sound will stop immediately when a
Note Off message is received.
Setting the Output destination for each key
You can change the output destination for the individual Drum
key signal in the Drum Key Edit on the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor.
This function is useful when you wish to apply a connected
external effect to a specific drum instrument. For details, see the
section “Output Select” (page 85) in Key Edit of the Reference
section.
n The “Output Select” parameter is available only when the “Ins Effect
Output (Insertion Effect Output)” parameter is set to “thru” in the OSC
(Oscillator) section on the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor.
