Basic Structure
The MOTIF-RACK XS system consists of five main functional blocks: Tone Generator, Audio Input, Arpeggio, Controller, and Effect.
The Five Functional Blocks
AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2)
This instrument is equipped with AWM2 tone generator block. AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) is a synthesis system based on sampled
waves (sound material), and is used in many Yamaha synthesizers. For extra realism, each AWM2 Voice uses multiple samples of a real
instrument’s waveform. Furthermore, a wide variety of parameters—envelope generator, filter, modulation, and others—can be applied.
