1 POWER Switch (page 29)

Press to turn power ON or OFF.

2 AC 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!

3 mLAN 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).

4 OPTICAL OUT connectors (page 22)

For output of digital audio, via optical ﬁber cables

(at 44.1kHz).

5 USB 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.

n The 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).

6 MIDI 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.

7 BREATH Controller Jack (page 28)

Connect an optional Yamaha BC2 Breath Controller

here for expressive breath control capability.

8 FOOT 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.

9 FOOT 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.

^ Card slot (pages 64, 262)

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:

1 SERIAL 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.

2 mLAN (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:

1 OPTICAL 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.

2 DIGITAL 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.

3 ASSIGNABLE 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.

MOTIF Setting Up

Power Supply

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

1 Make sure the POWER switch on the MOTIF is set to OFF.

2 Connect the supplied power cord to the AC INLET terminal on the instrument’s rear panel.

3 Connect 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.
