Power-On Procedure; Turning The Power On/Off - Yamaha Motif-Rack XS Owner's Manual

Power-on Procedure

Power-on Procedure
Once you've made all the necessary connections (pages 13 and
21) between your MOTIF-RACK XS and any other devices, make
sure that all volume settings are turned down all the way to zero,
then turn on each device in order: first, MIDI masters (senders),
MIDI slaves (receivers), then audio equipment (mixers,
amplifiers, speakers, etc.). This ensures smooth signal flow from
the first device to the last (first MIDI, then audio).
n
To turn off the power to the devices, first lower the volume of the audio
equipment, then turn off the power in the reverse sequence.
