END OF PANNEL BUTTON LAYOUT
Pannel button layout notes:
The select part control button has three parameters: Tone 1, tone 2, and Arp
FX. When the synthesizer is powered on, this control defaults to tone 1.
Each press of the select part control button will change the settings of the
8 assignable knobs. The settings are as follows:
Tone 1:
Knob 1, cutoff; Knob 2, resonance; Knob 3, attack; Knob 4, decay;
Knob 5, sustain; Knob 6, release; Knob 7, assign 1; Knob 8, assign 2.
Tone 2:
Knob 1, eQ Low; Knob 2, eQ Mid F; Knob 3, eQ mid; Knob 4, eQ, midQ;
Knob 5, eQ high; Knob 6, pan; Knob 7, reverb; Knob 8, chorus.
ARP fx:
Knob 1, swing; Knob 2, quantize value; Knob 3, quantize strength;
Knob 4, gate time; Knob 5, velocity; Knob 6, octave range;
Knob 7, unit multiply; Knob 8, tempo.
The multipart control button appears to do nothing when repeatedly pressed,
but there are three lights just to the right of it labeled reverb, chorus,
and pan respectively.
You should find this very Useful,
Trevor

Thanks, G, but I don't have the Mo, I have the full-blown Motif. They aren't
the same ... are they?

While I wait for it to arrive, which ought to be by Wednesday, is there
anything I can download to jumpstart my knowledge of the thing--panel
layout, tips, anything?
