    2AC Power Cord Socket (page 20)
    Be sure the plug the AC power cord into this socket 
    before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet.
    Use only the AC power cord supplied with the 
    MOTIF. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and 
    needs to be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. 
    The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a 
    fire and shock hazard!
    3mLAN expansion board (mLAN8E) or I/O 
    expansion board (AIEB2) cover (page 22)
    Either the mLAN expansion board (mLAN8E) or 
    the I/O expansion board (AIEB2) sold separately 
    can be installed to the MOTIF. 
    With the mLAN8E board, you can conveniently 
    and easily hook up your MOTIF to other mLAN-
    compatible instruments or devices. The AIEB2 
    board gives you additional digital I/O options, 
    featuring both optical and coaxial connectors. 
    Moreover, the board also includes three stereo 
    ASSIGNABLE OUTPUT pairs (six analog jacks).
    4OPTICAL OUT connectors (page 22)
    For output of digital audio, via optical fiber cables 
    (at 44.1kHz).
    5USB connector (page 25)
    For connection to a computer having a USB 
    interface. The USB interface provides multi-port 
    MIDI operation not possible with a single MIDI 
    connection. 
    nThe USB connection can only be used for transfer of 
    MIDI data.  No audio data can be transfered via USB.
    USB        
    USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is 
    a serial interface for connecting a computer with 
    peripheral devices, and enables much faster data 
    transfer (12Mbps) compared to conventional serial 
    port connections. Also, it allows “hot swapping” 
    (connecting peripheral devices while the power to 
    the computer is on).
    6MIDI IN/OUT/THRU connectors (page 24)
    MIDI IN is for receiving control or performance 
    data from another MIDI device, such as an external 
    sequencer.
    MIDI THRU is simply for redirecting any received 
    MIDI data (via MIDI IN) to connected devices, 
    allowing convenient chaining of additional MIDI 
    instruments. 
    MIDI OUT is for transmitting all control, 
    performance and playback data from the MOTIF to 
    another MIDI device, such as an external sequencer.7BREATH Controller Jack (page 28)
    Connect an optional Yamaha BC2 Breath Controller 
    here for expressive breath control capability.
    8FOOT SWITCH jacks (page 28)
    For connection of optional FC4 or FC5 
    Footswitches. When connected to the SUSTAIN 
    jack, the Footswitch controls sustain. When 
    connected to ASSIGNABLE, it can control one of 
    various different assignable functions.
    9FOOT CONTROLLER jacks (page 28)
    For connection of optional foot controllers (FC7, 
    etc.). Each jack lets you continuously control one of 
    various different assignable functions — such as 
    volume, tone, pitch, or other aspects of the sound.
    )ASSIGNABLE OUT L and R jacks (page 21)
    Line level audio signals are output from the MOTIF 
    via these phone jacks (1/4 mono phone plug). 
    These outputs are independent of the main output 
    (at the L/MONO and R jacks below), and can be 
    freely assigned to any of the Parts. This lets you 
    route specific Voices or sounds for processing with a 
    favorite outboard effect unit. 
    !OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks (page 21)
    Line level audio signals are output via these phone 
    jacks. For monophonic output, use just the L/
    MONO jack. 
    @PHONES jack (page 21)
    For connection to a pair of stereo headphones.
    #A/D INPUT jacks (page 23)
    External audio signals can be input via these phone 
    jacks. These are used primarily for recording 
    samples — either with a microphone, making the 
    proper Utility settings (page 250), or from other 
    audio equipment, such as a CD or MD player. With 
    the optional Vocal Harmony Plug-in board 
    (PLG100-VH, page 35), you can also apply special 
    effects and harmonies to the microphone input.
    $GAIN knob
    For adjusting the input gain of the audio at the A/D 
    INPUT jacks (above). Depending on the connected 
    device (microphone, CD player, etc.), you may need 
    to adjust this for optimum level.
    %SCSI connectors (page 27)
    This SCSI-2 50-pin connector (D-sub, half-pitch) 
    can be used to connect to an external SCSI data 
    storage device — allowing you to conveniently save 
    and store large quantities of data.

    Insert a Memory Card here to transfer various data 
    to/from the MOTIF. Read carefully the precautions 
    on using a Memory Card (page 289) before 
    inserting a card.
    &Plug-in board cover (page 35)
    Installing an optional Plug-in Board to the MOTIF 
    lets you greatly expand the sonic palette of the 
    instrument. Up to three boards can be installed to 
    the MOTIF’s rear panel. 
    ■When the optional mLAN8E has been installed: 
    1SERIAL I/O connector 
    For connecting the mLAN8E directly to a personal 
    computer via a serial cable. Use this jack to connect 
    the mLAN8E and the computer when using the 
    mLAN Patchbay and mLAN Mixer in Windows. 
    This is not used to input or output MIDI or audio 
    signals. 
    2mLAN (IEEE1394) connector1, 2, 3
    For connecting mLAN devices or IEEE1394-
    compatible devices via IEEE1394 standard (6-pin) 
    cables. 
    About mLAN
    “mLAN” is a digital network designed for musical 
    applications. It uses and extends the industry 
    standard IEEE 1394 high performance serial bus. 
    For details, refer to the Guide Book of the 
    mLAN8E. 
    The name “mLAN” and its logo (above) are 
    trademarks. 
    ■When the optional AIEB2 has been installed: 
    1OPTICAL IN, OUT connectors (pages 22, 23)
    Use these connectors to input or output digital 
    signals over optical-fiber cable. You can use the 
    OPTICAL IN to record a digital signal of frequency 
    48kHz, 44.1kHz, or 32kHz. The OPTICAL OUT 
    connector outputs a digital signal of frequency 
    44.1kHz. 
    2DIGITAL IN, OUT connectors (pages 22, 23)
    Use these connectors to input or output digital 
    signals over coaxial (RCA-pin) cable. The digital 
    signal format is CD/DAT (S/P DIF). You can use 
    the DIGITAL IN connector to record a digital signal 
    of frequency 48kHz, 44.1kHz, or 32kHz. The 
    DIGITAL OUT connector outputs a digital signal of 
    frequency 44.1kHz.
    3ASSIGNABLE OUT jacks (AS1 to AS6)
    (page 22)
    Additional analog output jacks. Each pair (1&2, 
    3&4, 5&6) operates independently of all other 
    outputs on the MOTIF.

    Setting Up
    This section explains how to connect your MOTIF to an AC power source, external audio and MIDI devices, and a 
    computer system. Only switch the MOTIF on after you have made all the necessary connections.
    It is recommended that you read this section before using the MOTIF. 
    Power Supply
    1Make sure the POWER switch on the MOTIF is set to OFF.
    2Connect the supplied power cord to the AC INLET terminal on the instrument’s rear panel.
    3Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC outlet. Make sure your MOTIF meets the voltage requirement 
    for the country or region in which it is being used.
    Make sure your MOTIF is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (as listed on the rear 
    panel). Connecting the unit to the wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even 
    pose a shock hazard!
    Use only the AC power cord supplied with the MOTIF. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be 
    replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard!
    The type of AC power cord provided with the MOTIF may be different depending on the country in which it is 
    purchased (a third prong may be provided for grounding purposes). Improper connection of the grounding conductor 
    can create the risk of electrical shock. Do NOT modify the plug provided with the MOTIF. If the plug will not fit the 
    outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use a plug adapter which defeats the grounding 
    conductor.
