Local On/Off – when Connected to a Computer
When connecting this synthesizer to a computer, the keyboard performance data is generally sent to the computer, and 
then returned from the computer to play the tone generator block. If the Local Control in the Utility mode is set to “on,” a 
“double” sound may result, since the tone generator is receiving performance data from both the keyboard directly and the 
computer. Use the setting suggestions below as a guideline; specific instructions may differ depending on your computer 
and the software used.
• When MIDI “Echo” (MIDI through) is set to on the software/computer: 
nWhen transmitting or receiving System Exclusive data (such as with the Bulk Dump function), use the setting example below, making sure that MIDI 
“Echo” (MIDI through) on the computer software is set to “off.”
• When MIDI “Echo” (MIDI through) is set to off the software/computer: 
nAlthough not indicated in the illustration above, the MOTIF ES actually receives and responds to MIDI data from the computer application 
(sequencer), regardless of the Local Control setting on the MOTIF ES.
*  MIDI “Echo” is a function on sequencers that takes any data received via the MIDI IN and “echoes” it (or sends it as is) through the MIDI 
OUT. In some software, this function is also called “MIDI Thru.”
nFor details about the MIDI Echo, refer to the owner’s manual of your particular software.

Connecting Various Controllers
The MOTIF ES features several controller jacks on the rear panel — letting you independently control various aspects of the 
sound and a variety of functions with optional controllers.
■ Breath Controller
You can connect an optional Breath Controller (BC3) to the BREATH jack on the rear panel. Then use it to control a large number 
of this synthesizer’s parameters, particularly those controlled by a wind player’s breath: dynamics, timbre, pitch and so on. The 
Breath Controller is ideally suited for realistic expression with wind instrument type Voices.
nBreath Controller parameters can be set for each Voice (page 192).
■ Footswitch (assignable)
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch connected to the rear panel FOOT SWITCH ASSIGNABLE jack can be assigned to 
a range of parameters. It is suited for switch-type (on/off) controls, such as Portamento Switch, increment/decrement of a Voice 
or Performance Number, start/stop of the Sequencer, and holding the Arpeggiator on or off.
nThe parameter assigned to the Footswitch is set in the Utility mode (page 263).
■ Footswitch (sustain)
An optional FC4 or FC5 Footswitch connected to the SUSTAIN jack on the rear panel lets you control sustain — particularly 
useful when playing piano and strings voices.
Keep in mind that some sounds may not be suitable for use in all situations with the Sustain footswitch.  For example, for organ 
sounds that have no natural decay, the sound continues at the same level when holding down the Sustain footswitch. 
On the other hand, many sounds benefit from the use of Sustain, such as piano, which has a natural decay when a note is held.  
Using Sustain with these kinds of Voices provides a smooth after-sound and gives you expressive control in your performance.  
nThe sustain level of the Amplitude EG (page 162) is maintained while holding down the Sustain footswitch, even when releasing your fingers from the keys.
nYou cannot assign a function other than Sustain to the SUSTAIN jack.
■ Foot Controller
Optional Foot Controllers (such as the FC7), connected to the FOOT CONTROLLER jacks on the rear panel, can be assigned to 
a number of controller parameters. By using a foot controller for parameter control, both your hands are left free to play the 
keyboard (or to operate other controllers) — exceptionally convenient when you’re playing live.
nFoot Controller parameters can be set for each Voice (page 192).

Turning the power on/off
Power-on Procedure
Once you’ve made all the necessary connections between your MOTIF ES and any other devices, make sure that all volume 
settings are turned down all the way to zero. Then turn on the every device in your setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), 
MIDI slaves (receivers), then audio equipment (mixers, amplifiers, speakers, etc.). This ensures smooth signal flow from the first 
device to the last (first MIDI, then audio). When powering down the setup, first turn down the volume for each audio devices, 
then switch off each device in the reverse order (first audio devices, then MIDI).
When using the MOTIF ES as MIDI receiver:
Turning the MOTIF ES on/off
The explanations here apply when audio equipment (amplifier and speaker) is connected to the MOTIF ES. 
1Make sure that the external audio equipment is connected to the MOTIF ES properly. Also be sure to set the volume of the 
MOTIF ES and the external audio equipment to 0. 
2Press the POWER switch on the rear panel to turn the MOTIF ES on. 
The Opening display (together with the message that confirms the status of the Plug-in Board installation) appears and after 
a while, the Master mode display appears.
nAt the time this synthesizer is shipped from the factory, the Master mode display will appear when turning the power on. You can change the default display 
when turning the power on with the following operation. [UTILITY] → [F1] GENERAL → [SF4] OTHER → PowerOnMode (page 261)
nBecause the Auto Load parameter (page 135) is set to on at the time this synthesizer is shipped from the factory, it takes a short amount of time before the 
instrument assumes normal playing status (in which you can play the keyboard).
You can switch the on/off status of the Auto Load function from the [UTILITY] → [F1] GENERAL → [SF5] OTHER display (page 135).
3Turn the power of the connected audio equipment on. 
4Raise the sound system volume of the audio equipment and the MOTIF ES gradually to a reasonable level.
5If necessary, adjust the legibility of the LCD display by using the LCD Contrast Control. 
6After turning the power of the audio equipment off or turning down the volume of the audio equipment, turn the MOTIF ES’s 
power off.

Resetting the User Memory to the Initial  Factory Settings
The original factory setting of this synthesizer’s User Memory (page 186) can be restored as follows. 
When the factory settings are restored, all the Voice, Performance, Song, Pattern, and system setting in the Utility mode you created will be erased. 
Be sure to save all important data to SmartMedia or USB storage device before executing this procedure (pages 85, 91 and 131).
1Press the [UTILITY] button to enter the Utility mode (the lamp lights).
2Press the [JOB] button to enter the Utility Job mode. 
3Press the [ENTER] button. (The display prompts you for confirmation.)
nTo cancel the Job, press the [DEC/NO] button.
4Press the [INC/YES] button to execute the Job.
After the Job has been completed, a “Completed” message appears and operation returns to the original display.
An “Executing...” or “Please keep power on” message is shown when it takes a short amount of time to execute the Job. 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. 
nAll settings in the Utility mode that are related to the Plug-in boards are stored only to the memory on those respective boards, and not to the User memory 
of this synthesizer. Because of this, the Factory Set operation cannot be used to restore settings for those boards.

Basic Operation
In this section, we’ll take a look at the fundamental operating conventions of the MOTIF ES. Here, you’ll learn the basics – how to 
select modes, call up the various functions, change settings, and edit parameter values. Take time to familiarize yourself with 
these nuts-and-bolts operations, and you’ll be on your way to mastering the instrument. 
Before reading further, familiarize yourself with the basic terms used with the MOTIF ES in the chart below.
Modes
Mode Structure
This synthesizer is organized into various modes, each covering a different set of operations and functions.
Keep in mind that there are two basic types of modes, depending on the status of the tone generator block.  The first type 
includes the Voice and Performance modes, and the internal tone generator is used in single timbre operation — meaning that 
only one Voice, or one channel of MIDI data is used.  The second type includes the Song and Pattern modes, and the internal 
tone generator is used in multi-timbral operation — meaning that several Voices, or multiple MIDI channels are used.  Along with 
each of these types are sub modes — the Sampling mode and the Utility mode.  Remember that the particular displays and 
parameters in these two modes differ depending on which type of mode (Voice/Performance or Song/Pattern) was active before 
calling up the sub-mode. In addition to the above mentioned, there are two special modes. The Master mode lets you memorize 
your desired settings in each mode (Voice/Performance/Song/Pattern) and recall them instantly anytime you need them with a 
single button. The File mode lets you manage your created data.

							Functions and Sub-Functions
47Owner’s Manual
Basic Operation
Functions and Sub-Functions
Each mode described above contains various displays, with various functions and parameters. To navigate your way through 
these displays and select a desired function, use the [F1] - [F6] buttons and the [SF1] - [SF5] buttons. When you select a mode, 
the available displays or menus appear directly above the buttons at the bottom of the display (as shown below).
Using the Function buttons [F1] - [F6]
Depending on the currently selected mode, up to six functions are available and can be called up with the [F1] - [F6] buttons. 
Keep in mind that the available functions differ depending on the selected mode.
Using the Sub-Function buttons [SF1] - [SF5]
Depending on the currently selected mode, up to five functions (sub-functions) are available and can be called up with the [SF1] 
- [SF5] buttons. Keep in mind that the available functions differ depending on the selected mode. (Some displays may not have 
any sub-functions for these buttons.)
Selecting a Program
In order to play the MOTIF ES you’ll need to call up one of its programs, i.e., a Voice, Performance, Song, Pattern, or Master. 
These programs can be selected in each Play mode via the same procedure. 
■ Using the [INC/YES], [DEC/NO] buttons and the data dial
The [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons let you step up or down through the program numbers in any of the Play modes (Voice, 
Performance, Song, Pattern, and Master).
Rotating the data dial to the right (clockwise) increases the program number, while rotating it to the left (counter-clockwise) 
decreases it. This control works in the same way as the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons, but lets you scroll through the 
programs more quickly.
