1 Keyboard
The MOTIF ES6 features a 61-key keyboard, while the
MOTIF ES7 has 76 keys and the MOTIF ES8 has 88 keys.
All are equipped with a touch response feature (both initial
touch and aftertouch). With initial touch, the instrument
senses how strongly or softly you play the keys, and uses
that playing strength to affect the sound in various ways,
depending on the selected voice. With aftertouch, the
instrument senses how much pressure you apply to the
keys while playing, and uses that pressure to affect the
sound in various ways, depending on the selected voice.
Moreover, any of a variety of functions can be assigned to
aftertouch for each voice.
2 OCTAVE [UP] and [DOWN] buttons Page 63

buttons simultaneously.
n Because of its extended keyboard, the MOTIF ES8 does not have
OCTAVE buttons.
