Adjusting the tuning to other
instruments
When you play the MOTIF XS with other instruments, you
may need to tune the overall sound of the MOTIF XS to
match that of the other instruments in the group.
1
Press the [UTILITY] button to enter the Utility
mode, press the [F1] button, then press the
[SF1] button to call up the Play display as
below.
2
Move the cursor to Tune, then set the value.
In this example, we’ll change the value from “440 Hz” to
“442 Hz.” Since the Tune parameter is actually adjusted
in cents (1 cent = 1/100th of a semitone), the
corresponding value in Hertz is shown at right. Since 1
Hz is roughly equivalent to 4 cents, set this value to
“+8.0.”

Press the [STORE] button to store the Utility
setting.
Transpose
This function allows the overall pitch of the MOTIF XS to be
transposed up or down in semitone increments/
decrements. You can play the same notes on the keyboard
even when the pitch of the song is shifted up or down in
semitones.
1
Press the [UTILITY] button to enter the Utility
mode, press the [F1] button, then press the
[SF1] button to call up the Play display as
shown.
2
Move the cursor to Transpose, then set the
value.
Set the value to “+1” to transpose the pitch up by a
semitone, or set it to “-1” to transpose it down by a
semitone. To transpose it up or down by a whole tone,
set this to “+/-2”; to transpose by an octave, set it to “+/
-12.”
To transpose by octaves, use the Octave parameter (above
Transpose).
