Tech: every effect side by side
The 6 tech effects of the Motif ES at their default settings, one per row. Every column uses one scale from top to bottom, so anything that looks bigger, faster or brighter in one row than in another really is.
In plain terms: read across a row to get one effect's character, read down a column to compare them all on one quality. Click a column title to sort by it; click a row to open that effect's controls. Under the board: each effect's controls setting by setting, then 2 detailed charts, closed until you open them.
Techclick a row for its controls Each side through time The size of the left (cyan) and right (amber) sides over three seconds of steady noise, against their own average. How fast ↕ Rises and falls per second, and whether the two sides do it together or take turns. How far ↕ The swing between quietest and loudest moments, as a share of the average size. Tone ↕ The effect's tone at its default settings: bass left, treble right; above the line is boosted, below is cut. Left against right ↕ +1 = the same on both sides (sits in the middle), 0 = unrelated (wide), below 0 = opposite. The mark is 0. sort by: How fast How far Tone Left against right

One sheet per effect. Every tested setting of a control sits next to the others on the same axes, with the default setting drawn as a thin line inside each cell, so a small difference between two settings is two neighbouring cells, not two screens.
ring colour: barely changes the sound ▬ first 200 ms after a click▬ tone against the default
Auto Synth every control, every tested setting Each row is one control. Its ring is its travel, coloured by how much the sound changes along it. To the right, first every tested setting of that control overlaid (its tone against the default, low setting cyan to high setting amber; ▶ play steps through them one at a time and marks the matching cell), then one cell per tested setting: on top the first 200 ms after a click (thin line = the default setting), under it the change in tone against the default (flat = no change; above the line = brighter at that pitch).

Every pair of controls that was recorded at all four corners (each at its low and its high test setting). A cell is what the second control does to the tone, bass left to treble right: cyan with the first control low, amber with it high. The two lines lying on each other means the controls simply add; lines apart means one changes what the other does. The pairs furthest apart come first. On an effect that moves by itself some of the gap is the movement caught at a different moment.

Every pair of controls that was recorded at all four corners (each at its low and its high test setting). A cell is what the second control does to the tone, bass left to treble right: cyan with the first control low, amber with it high. The two lines lying on each other means the controls simply add; lines apart means one changes what the other does. The pairs furthest apart come first. On an effect that moves by itself some of the gap is the movement caught at a different moment.
Isolator every control, every tested setting Each row is one control. Its ring is its travel, coloured by how much the sound changes along it. To the right, first every tested setting of that control overlaid (its tone against the default, low setting cyan to high setting amber; ▶ play steps through them one at a time and marks the matching cell), then one cell per tested setting: on top the first 200 ms after a click (thin line = the default setting), under it the change in tone against the default (flat = no change; above the line = brighter at that pitch).

Every pair of controls that was recorded at all four corners (each at its low and its high test setting). A cell is what the second control does to the tone, bass left to treble right: cyan with the first control low, amber with it high. The two lines lying on each other means the controls simply add; lines apart means one changes what the other does. The pairs furthest apart come first. On an effect that moves by itself some of the gap is the movement caught at a different moment.
Slice every control, every tested setting Each row is one control. Its ring is its travel, coloured by how much the sound changes along it. To the right, first every tested setting of that control overlaid (its tone against the default, low setting cyan to high setting amber; ▶ play steps through them one at a time and marks the matching cell), then one cell per tested setting: on top the first 200 ms after a click (thin line = the default setting), under it the change in tone against the default (flat = no change; above the line = brighter at that pitch).

Every pair of controls that was recorded at all four corners (each at its low and its high test setting). A cell is what the second control does to the tone, bass left to treble right: cyan with the first control low, amber with it high. The two lines lying on each other means the controls simply add; lines apart means one changes what the other does. The pairs furthest apart come first. On an effect that moves by itself some of the gap is the movement caught at a different moment.
Tech Mod every control, every tested setting Each row is one control. Its ring is its travel, coloured by how much the sound changes along it. To the right, first every tested setting of that control overlaid (its tone against the default, low setting cyan to high setting amber; ▶ play steps through them one at a time and marks the matching cell), then one cell per tested setting: on top the first 200 ms after a click (thin line = the default setting), under it the change in tone against the default (flat = no change; above the line = brighter at that pitch).

Every pair of controls that was recorded at all four corners (each at its low and its high test setting). A cell is what the second control does to the tone, bass left to treble right: cyan with the first control low, amber with it high. The two lines lying on each other means the controls simply add; lines apart means one changes what the other does. The pairs furthest apart come first. On an effect that moves by itself some of the gap is the movement caught at a different moment.
Detailed charts
The measurements behind the board, at full size, each with what it shows, how to read it and what it found.
In plain terms: the board gives the comparison at a glance; open one of these when you want the full picture of a single quality.
Each side turned up and down, from moment to moment What it shows. Steady noise, the same in both speakers, through each effect at its default settings. Every 10 ms the size of what comes out of each side is compared with the same moment of the noise recorded with no effect.
How to read it. Time runs left to right. A line at 100 is that side at its average size; above is louder, below quieter. Cyan is the left side, amber the right. Lines that rise and fall together are a tremolo; lines that take turns are a pan; the shape of the wave (smooth, pointed, lopsided) is the shape of the effect's modulator. Use the slider to change effect.
What it found.
Digital Scratch: 1.78 times a second, the left side swinging between 64% and 140% of its average; the two sides move partly out of step. Slice: 8.00 times a second, the left side swinging between 32% and 192% of its average; the two sides rise and fall together. Holding steady (less than a 10% swing on steady noise): Isolator. Not drawn: Auto Synth, Jump, Tech Mod. They move, but no regular rise and fall could be read; a moving delay (as in a rotary speaker) changes the noise in ways this comparison cannot separate from loudness. Which controls depend on each other What it shows. Every pair of controls that was recorded at all four corners, each control at its low and its high test setting, for the Tech effects. For each pair: what the second control does to the tone with the first one low, what it does with the first one high, and how far apart those two are as a share of the larger.
How to read it. One dot is one pair; hover for which. At the left edge the second control does the same thing wherever the first one is, so the two simply add. At the right edge it does something at one end of the first control and nothing, or the opposite, at the other. The same pairs are drawn as curves on each effect's sheet above, under two controls together.
What it found.
Of 41 pairs in which the second control changes the tone, 28 are ones where the first control changes what the second does. The pair furthest apart is HPF Freq with Scratch Depth on Digital Scratch. Tone only is compared, smoothed over about two thirds of an octave, so a change in timing alone does not show here. On an effect that moves by itself part of any gap is the movement caught at a different moment. Each effect's written breakdown, its measurement card and every single-control chart are on the
detail page (large).
