Larry,


Here's Motifator's link to the MOTIF Manual:

http://motifator.com/index.php/support/motif_manuals/

Motifator has the manual, but does not have the data list manual. Yamaha does still have all the manuals, but now you have to register to download the manuals. It's free, but you need to create an account (Yamaha only).

All the other manuals/apps (voice editor, performance editor, etc. are available easily from motifator.

Also, it's not that the MOTIF has a GM mode (some keyboards do, but higher end ones do it all by bank selection (btw, the GM on the MOTIF is: MSB=0, LSB =0. but I'm talking about patch changes here, and that's all any sequencer (in this case BB) is going to do. You can certainly manually invoke the different banks via buttons,wheel, cursor, etc., on the MOTIF, but they will be overridden by the midi events (if in non-local control mode).

Anyway, I have some other things I have to get done, but will try to resume this thread tomorrow.


One more thing: While the GM voices sound really good on the MOTIF, many of the other voices available (non-GM) will impress many. To avoid these is missing out. One of these days, I'll upload (or provide links to) some excerpts from the MOTIF (e.g, flute, sax, etc.). Mac and Matt, being horn players can be the critics.

Signing off for tonight,

Richard
