Motif xs button layout.
October 20, 2007.
Edition 1.

Introductory notes:
This document was written with braille users in mind. It may be possible to put 
braille labels underneath some of the buttons.  Please keep in mind that this 
document was created based on the layout of an xs 8. The 76 and 61 key versions 
of the xs may differ in how many buttons they offer the user. It may be 
necessary to modify this document to suit those models.  Throughout this 
document, you will notice phrases like button 1, button 2, etc. Button 1 
indicates the button that starts off a vertical or horizontal series of 
buttons. For example, in a horizontal row of 3 buttons, button 1 would be the 
first button in the row and would be on the left, button 3 would be the last 
button in the row and would be on the right.

Structure

The document will be structured in such a way that lets the user quickly locate 
the button they desire, without having to go chronologically through the entire 
series of buttons to find what they are looking for. Also note that in some 
instances, some buttons are toggle controls, meaning that they cycle to 
different parameters depending on how many times the user presses the button. 
Some of these parameters have been noted. Any user can make modifications to 
this document at any time, provided they share the revised edition with all 
users of the MoAccess mailing list. If you have any questions or feedback on 
this document, please contact Jes Smith at the email address listed at the end 
of this document.

Top row.
The top row contains 4 buttons located in a vertical list. The first button is 
the select part control. The button has three parameters: Tone 1, tone 2, and 
aRP FX. When the synthesizer is powered on, this control defaults to tone 1.  
Note:
Each parameter of the select part control will change the setting of the 8 
knobs.  The settings are as follows.
Parameter, knob number, knob setting:
Tone 1: Knob 1, cutoff.
Tone 1, knob 2, resonance.
Tone 1, knob 3, attack.
Tone 1, knob 4, decay.
Tone 1, knob 5, sustain.
Tone 1, knob 6, release.
Tone 1, knob 7, assign 1.
Tone 1, knob 8, assign 2.

Tone 2
Tone 2, knob 1, eQ Low.
Tone 2, knob 2, eQ Mid F.
Tone 2, knob 3, eQ mid.
Tone 2, knob 4, eQ, midQ.
Tone 2, knob 5, eQ high.
Tone 2, knob 6, pan.

ARP fx, knob 6, octave range.
ARP fx, knob 7, unit multiply.
ARP fx, knob 8, tempo.

The second button in the top row below the select part control is labeled 
multipart control. This button appears to do nothing when repeatedly pressed, 
however there are three lights just to the right of the multipart control 
button. The first light is labeled reverb, the second light is labeled chorus, 
and the third light is labeled pan.

The third button on the top row is the assignable function 1.
The fourth button is the assignable function 2.

To the right of the eight knobs there are several more rows of buttons. Again, 
some are toggles.
Top row.
There are only two buttons on the top row.
Button 1, remote mode on/off. 
Button 2, arpeggio on/off.

Effect Bypass mode
Below the remote and arpeggio toggle controls is a row of three buttons, which 
are in the effect bypass mode.
Button 1, insertion.
Button 2, system.
Button 3, master effect.

The next two buttons are the octave controls.
Button 1, octave down.

f6.

To the right of the dial are the following buttons.

Note:
This list is taken from the order in which the buttons appear on the 
synthesizer in orientation to the data dial. (Bryan and list, I will need 
feedback on how best to represent the following layout to new users, but this 
is how I would orient myself):  Far left of dial, Button 1, dec/no. Far right 
of the dial, button 2, dec/yes.  Below the dial are the four arrow keys, layed 
out just like on a pc keyboard.  Below all four arrows, button 1, exit, button
