Extended information

MOTIF-RACK ES features 768 preset,128 GM and 384 user voices. A generous 128-note polyphony as standard gives you the freedom to create intricate compositions using up to 16 voices simultaneously from the massive 175MB (16-bit linear format) wave ROM.

The Enhanced Signal Processing Effects System enables you to craft new soundscapes with ease. Up to 8 separate parts can have their voice insertion effects assigned simultaneously, allowing you to choose from the 20 reverb types, and 49 chorus/delay programs available. There’s also independent three-band EQ settings for each of the 16 parts, eight types of mastering effects including multi band compression, and a five-band master EQ letting you complete your productions right through to the final mastering stage.

Just like its predecessor, the MOTIF-RACK ES is equipped to accept up to 2 Modular Synthesis Plug-in System boards (PLG boards) allowing you to expand the capabilities of your system to suit your requirements. Rather than robbing valuable polyphony from your set-up, the PLG boards bring their own processing power to the table allowing you to seriously increase the number of notes you can play simultaneously and add extra FX.
