Setting Up
Connecting External MIDI Equipment
Using a standard MIDI cable (a v ailable separately), y ou can connect an e xternal MIDI de vice , and control it from the
MOTIF . Like wise , you can use an external MIDI de vice (such as a k eyboar d or sequencer) to contr ol the sounds on
the MOTIF . Below ar e se ver al differ ent MIDI connection ex amples; use the one most similar to y our intended setup.
■ Controlling fr om an external MIDI keyboard
■ Controlling an external MIDI keyboard
■ Recording and playback using an external MIDI sequencer
■ Controlling another MIDI device via MIDI THRU
In the abov e setup, Synthesizer 2 can be pla yed fr om the MOTIF (via MIDI OUT), while the e xternal sequencer
plays Synthesizer 1 (via MIDI THR U).
n The MIDI cable should be no greater than 15 meters in length, and ther e should be no mor e than three de vices in a MIDI chain
(chained in series via each unit’s MIDI THR U). T o connect more units, use a MIDI Thru Box for par allel connections. Y ou may
encounter errors if the MIDI cables ar e too long or if too many de vices ar e chained together via their MIDI THR U connectors.
■ Using an mLAN interface (when an optional mLAN8E has been installed)
n Any one of the these interfaces can be used for MIDI data tr ansmission/r eception: the MIDI connectors, the mLAN terminal
connector , or the USB connector . Howeve r , th ey cannot be used at the same time . Select which connector is used for MIDI data
transfer in the Utility mode . See page 259.
