21MOTIF Setting UpConnections Setting Up Connections Connecting to External Audio Equipment Since the MOTIF has no built-in speakers, you’ll need an external audio system or a set of stereo headphones to properly monitor it. The following illustrations show various connection examples; use the one most similar to your intended setup. Analog output ■Connecting stereo powered speakers A pair of powered speakers can accurately produce the instrument’s rich sounds with their own pan and effect settings. Connect your powered speakers to the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks on the rear panel. nWhen using just one powered speaker, connect it to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack on the rear panel. ■Connecting to a mixer There are extra audio outputs in addition to the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. Connect these outputs to a mixer for separately controlling the outputs of up to four Parts in Performance mode (page 164).

22MOTIF Setting Up Connections Setting Up ■Connecting to a mixer (with the optional AIEB2) You can expand the MOTIF’s output capabilties with six additional OUTPUT jacks for outputting extra individual parts, by installing the optional I/O board (AIEB2). nConnecting a pair of headphones does not affect audio output from the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. You can monitor the same sounds via headphones and at the OUTPUT jacks. Digital output ■When using the OPTICAL OUTPUT connector: This connector enables direct digital output of MOTIF playback and digital through-put. ■When the optional AIEB2 I/O board has been installed: The board enables direct digital output of MOTIF sound also via the coaxial cable. For purposes of compatibility, the AIEB2 board includes two different output types: OPTICAL OUT (optical fiber) and DIGITAL OUT (coaxial cable). Note that both of these outputs always produce identical signals.

23MOTIF Setting UpConnections Setting Up A/D input ■ Connecting a microphone or other audio equipment (analog input) You can record or import external sounds or waveform data and use them as instrument sounds (see “Sampling” on page 58). When recording from an external audio source, connect a microphone or the audio source to the A/D INPUT jacks. nAfter the above connections are complete, you are ready to set up for recording. When starting a recording, you may need to adjust the input gain of the audio source using the GAIN knob. (page 18). ■ Connecting to mLAN-compatible audio equipment nThe sound via either of the mLAN jacks and the A/D INPUT jacks can be input. You can set which jacks are used in the Utility mode (page 252). Digital input (when the optional AIEB2 has been installed) By installing the optional AIEB2 I/O expansion board, you can directly record digital audio from digital sources — such as a CD player or DAT deck. For maximum compatibility and flexibility, the AIEB2 board includes two different input types: OPTICAL (optical fiber) and DIGITAL (coaxial cable). nEither one of the connectors (OPTICAL or DIGITAL) can be used; however, both cannot be used at the same time. Select which connector is used for digital input in the Utility mode. See page 249.

24MOTIF Setting Up Connections Setting Up Connecting External MIDI Equipment Using a standard MIDI cable (available separately), you can connect an external MIDI device, and control it from the MOTIF. Likewise, you can use an external MIDI device (such as a keyboard or sequencer) to control the sounds on the MOTIF. Below are several different MIDI connection examples; use the one most similar to your intended setup. ■Controlling from 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 above setup, Synthesizer 2 can be played from the MOTIF (via MIDI OUT), while the external sequencer plays Synthesizer 1 (via MIDI THRU). nThe MIDI cable should be no greater than 15 meters in length, and there should be no more than three devices in a MIDI chain (chained in series via each unit’s MIDI THRU). To connect more units, use a MIDI Thru Box for parallel connections. You may encounter errors if the MIDI cables are too long or if too many devices are chained together via their MIDI THRU connectors. ■Using an mLAN interface (when an optional mLAN8E has been installed) nAny one of the these interfaces can be used for MIDI data transmission/reception: the MIDI connectors, the mLAN terminal connector, or the USB connector. However, they cannot be used at the same time. Select which connector is used for MIDI data transfer in the Utility mode. See page 259.

25MOTIF Setting UpConnections Setting Up Connecting to a Personal Computer By connecting a computer, you can transfer data between the MOTIF and the computer via MIDI, and use the computer to control, edit and organize data on the MOTIF. For example, you can use the included Voice Editor program to edit the MOTIF’s voices. There’s also a special File Utility program that lets you use your computer to manage files in the Memory Card inserted in the MOTIF’s CARD slot or files in the SCSI device connected to the MOTIF. ■Using an USB interface nIf you are using the Remote Control function to control operations on a computer sequencer, we recommend making connections with a USB cable. nThe USB connection can only be used for transfer of MIDI data. No audio data can be transfered via USB. nWhen you connect your computer to the MOTIF as illustrated above, you will need to select “USB” for MIDI data transmission in the Utility mode. (page 258) About the USB connector USB cables have different connectors on each end: the A type and the B type. When using the USB connection, connect the A type to your computer and the B type to the MOTIF. Disconnecting/connecting the USB cable or turning the power off/on may cause the computer operation to hang-up, or may stop the MOTIF from functioning properly. Be careful NOT to disrupt the USB connection or turn the power on/off in the following operating conditions. • While the MOTIF is recognizing the device or while loading the driver. • While starting or shutting down the operating system. • While computer operation is suspended (with power management controls such as sleep or hibernation). • While a MIDI application is starting. The computer may also hang up and/or the MOTIF ’s functions may stop if you do the following: • Turn the power on/off, or connect/disconnect the cable too often. • Enter the sleep mode while trasmitting the MIDI data, and resume operation. • Disconnect/connect the cable while the MOTIF is on. • Turn the MOTIF on/off, start the computer, or install driver software while a huge amount of data is being transferred.

Setting Up
■Using an IEEE1394 interface (when an optional mLAN8E has been installed)
■Using a MIDI interface
●Using the computer’s MIDI interface
●Using an external MIDI interface
nPlease use the appropriate MIDI interface for your computer.
nIf you are using a computer that has a USB interface, make sure to connect the computer and the MOTIF by USB. (The data
transfer rate is faster than MIDI and you’ll have access to multiple MIDI ports.)
Local On/Off - When Connected to a Computer
When connecting the MOTIF to a computer, the keyboard performance data is generally sent to the computer, and
then returned from the computer to play the tone generator or sound source. If the Local Switch 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” is enabled on the software/computer, set the MOTIF Local Switch to “off.”
nWhen transmitting or receiving System Exclusive data (such as with the Bulk Dump function), use the setting example
below, making sure that MIDI “Echo” on the computer software is set to “off.”

27MOTIF Setting UpConnections Setting Up When MIDI “Echo” is disabled on the software/computer, set the MOTIF Local Switch to “on.” nAlthough not indicated in the illustration above, the MOTIF actually receives and responds to MIDI data from the computer application (sequencer), regardless of the Local Sw setting on the MOTIF. * 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.” nRefer to the owners manual of your particular software for specific instructions. Connecting to an External SCSI Device Reference (page 262) 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. For details about SCSI and connecting SCSI devices, see page 64. nThe SCSI ID for the MOTIF and for the connected SCSI device are set in the File mode (page 265). ◆ MOTIF-compatible SCSI devices/disks • Only DOS-format disks can be used by the MOTIF for saving data. Disks formatted by the MOTIF are formatted using DOS format. • Disks formatted to DOS format by a personal computer can be used with the MOTIF. However, for best results, we recommend using disks formatted by the MOTIF. • When formatted using the MOTIF, disks with a capacity of less than 2GB are formatted using FAT16 format, and larger disks are formatted using FAT32 format. • MO disks which can be used with the MOTIF include capacities of 128 MB, 230 MB, and 540 MB. MO disks with a capacity of 640 MB and above cannot be used. • The MOTIF can use removable media of capacities of up to 2 GB. Even if larger drives are connected, the MOTIF can only use a maximum of 2 GB. Furthermore, all removable media are formatted using the FAT16 format, and partitioning is not possible. • When a 31 GB disk is formatted, four 7.75 GB partitions will be created automatically.

Powering Up
Power-on Procedure
Once you’ve made all the necessary connections between your MOTIF 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).
nIf the SCSI device is connected to the MOTIF, first turn the SCSI device on and follow the instructions below. When turning the
power off in this case, turn the SCSI device off after all other devices.
When using the MOTIF as MIDI receiver:
Switching the MOTIF On
nBefore you switch your MOTIF on or off, first turn down the volume of any audio equipment connected to it.
1Press the POWER switch.
After a while, the default display appears (as set in the Utility parameter, Power On Mode Display).
2Raise the sound system volume to a reasonable level.
3Gradually raise the VOLUME control while playing the keyboard to set the desired listening level.
