What is the MOTIF XS Editor?
What is the MOTIF XS Editor?
MOTIF XS Editor is a convenient tool which lets you edit and save the various parameters of your MOTIF XS
tone generator. These include Voice and Mixing parameters (edited in the Voice or Mixing mode of the
MOTIF XS) such as Volume, Pan, EG, and Cutoff and other settings. Thanks to its easy-to-understand
graphical interface, you can edit various parameters of the MOTIF XS right from your computer—using the
mouse to adjust the virtual knobs, sliders, and buttons and entering values from the computer keyboard.
Finally, all the changes you have made can be saved to your computer or transmitted to the MOTIF XS
instrument.
You can use this MOTIF XS Editor as a plug-in for the software below
• Studio Manager
• DAW application software compatible with Studio Connections
Studio Manager
Studio Manager V2 is a cross-platform application that enables you to start multiple Editors for controlling
Yamaha hardware products remotely, and to save multiple Editor settings. You can run Studio Manager as a
stand-alone application, or as a plug-in within DAW applications compatible with Studio Connections such
as Cubase 4 or Cubase AI 4.
For more information, refer to the Studio Manager PDF manual.
Studio Connections
Studio Connections is a joint project begun by Steinberg and Yamaha. Music
production systems now increasingly rely on both software and hardware, and there
is a pressing need for closer integration between the two. Studio Connections
provides a comprehensive and seamless music production environment—making the
use of hardware and software both easier and much more efficient. The following
functions are available in Studio Connections.
Recall
With the Recall function, all settings in each Editor can be saved within Studio Manager, and then called up
again when needed. This enables you to recall all the settings of multiple devices from Studio Manager and
control the entire system easily, instantly and automatically.
When executing the Recall function in the Studio Manager, the parameter settings of either device (MOTIF XS or DAW software on
a computer) are synchronized with the other. You can determine which device (MOTIF XS or DAW software) is regarded as the
master of the parameter settings by setting the Auto Sync Setting (page 40).
Recall is especially convenient when used with a DAW application compatible with Studio Connections. This
lets you save the Editor data directly to the project file of the DAW letting you recall all necessary hardware
settings automatically by simply opening the project file.

About Open Plug-in Technology
Audio Integration
Plug-in software such as software synthesizers and software samplers are exceptionally convenient in that
they let you easily change the various settings and parameters within the host application. However, control
over hardware is not so easy—with the need for various setups such as audio connections, driver settings
and MIDI port connections.
By using a Studio Connections-compatible DAW software, you can control the external hardware synthesizer
within the application, without the need to set up complex connections within a DAW software application—
just as easily and conveniently as you would with plug-in software. The Audio Integration function makes all
this possible. For details about Recall and Audio Integration, visit our web site at:
http://www.studioconnections.org/
About Open Plug-in Technology
Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a software format that enables you to control MIDI devices from a music
DAW application software. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various parts of your music
system, such as voice editors of the synthesizer and mixing control editors—directly from an OPT-compatible
software, without having to use each separately. OPT also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each
application, streamlining your music production system and making all operations more convenient and
seamless.
In addition to the original OPT, Open Plug-in Technology Version 2 (OPT 2), designed for Studio Connections,
is also available. The host application Studio Manager supports OPT 2.
About the OPT 2 Overview
OPT 2 is a plug-in format that enhances OPT Level 1 (Panels) and adds some convenient
functions for Studio Connections.

Data Structure of the MOTIF XS Editor
Data Structure of the MOTIF XS Editor
The MOTIF XS Editor lets you create the following data and save them as a single file (extension: X0E).
•
•
•
•
Current Global data (latest status of edited global parameters)
Current data in the Voice mode (latest status of edited Voice)
Current data in the Song/Pattern mode (consisting of Mixing setup, latest status of edited Voice and 16 Mixing Voices)
User Voice data (consisting of three Normal Voice Banks and one Drum Voice Bank)
Current settings includes the latest settings of the Common and Element parameters for the Voice last assigned to
each of Parts 1 – 16, as well as Mixing parameter settings such as Voice assignment, pan, volume and effect for
each Part. Among the Voice Banks, only the Mixing Voice Bank data belongs to the Current settings. The MOTIF
XS Editor lets you edit parameters (including Element parameters) of the Voice assigned to each Part and save the
latest edit status as a file without storing it as a User Voice or a Mixing Voice. This means that you can easily recall
the latest status of the previous edit simply by opening the file.
n The MOTIF XS Editor handles the Global data which includes some of the parameters shown on the “G” row in the Mixer
section and all the parameters in the Global Settings of the Parameter Category section (pages 20 and 23).
The diagram illustrated below indicates the structure of the data created via the MOTIF XS Editor, the
structure of the data stored in the internal memory of the MOTIF XS instrument and the relationship between
those two types of data.

Starting the MOTIF XS Editor
Starting the MOTIF XS Editor
Install the driver (USB-MIDI driver or AI driver), Studio Manager and MOTIF XS Editor by following the
respective Installation Guides, then install the host application such as Cubase if necessary. After making
the required connection and setting the MIDI IN/OUT parameter to “USB” or “mLAN” in the Utility mode,
follow the instructions below to start the MOTIF XS Editor.
n For details about connection between the MOTIF XS and a computer, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the MOTIF XS.
1. Start the Studio Manager.
Studio Manager can be started as a plug-in within a Studio Connections-compatible DAW software, or
can be started as a stand-alone application.
2. Set the MIDI Ports.
When starting Studio Manager as a stand-alone application:
Set the MIDI Ports by calling up the MIDI Ports window via [File] → [Setup] ([SM2] → [Preference] for Mac)
→ [MIDI Settings]. When the connection is done via a USB cable, enter the checkmarks to the boxes of Por ts
1 and 4 for the MOTIF XS in both the Input Por ts and the Output Ports, as illustrated below. When connection
is made via the IEEE1394 cable, enter checkmarks to the boxes of the Por ts corresponding to the mLAN MIDI
In and the mLAN MIDI Out of the MOTIF XS, in both the Input Por ts and the Output Ports.
When starting Studio Manager as a plug-in:
Set the MIDI Ports on the DAW application. For details, refer to the manual of your DAW application.
When connecting the MOTIF XS to a computer via a USB cable, the MIDI Ports are automatically set
simply by starting Studio Manager from Cubase 4 or Cubase AI 4. This is also true when connecting the
MOTIF XS to a computer via an IEEE1394 cable and installing “Extensions for Steinberg DAW” to the
computer.
3. Start the MOTIF XS Editor from the window of the Studio Manager.

An Example of MOTIF XS Editor in Use
An Example of MOTIF XS Editor in Use
There is no single way to use the many components in the MOTIF XS Editor. Your editing needs and
preferences may differ; however, the following example gives you a simple step-by-step guide in how to use
the MOTIF XS Editor. As an example, this section explains how to edit a Voice in the Voice mode, edit a
Mixing program in the Song mode, then store the edited data to the memory of the MOTIF XS instrument and
save the final results of your editing to a file.
n If the [Song] or [Pattern] indication (at the top left of the display) is on, perform the instructions below from step 1. If the
[Voice] indication is on, perform the instructions below from step 2.
1. Change the mode to the Voice mode by clicking the [Voice] indication (at the top left
of the display).
If the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] indication is set to [ONLINE] before changing the mode, the Auto Sync
window will be called up automatically when this step is executed. As step 2 is thus unnecessary, you
should proceed to step 3.
2. Click the [OFFLINE] to call up the Auto Sync window if the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE]
indication is set to [OFFLINE].
3. On the Auto Sync window, set communication-related parameters such as Input Port,
Output Port and Device Number in the Data Port section, then set the direction of Data
Auto Synchronization (Global, Current and Voice) in the Auto Sync Setting section.
When you want to use the settings on the MOTIF XS itself as starting data for editing, set the boxes of
Global, Current and Voice in the Auto Sync Setting to on so that the data flows from the instrument to the
computer. To use the settings on the MOTIF XS Editor as starting data, set both Global, Current and
Voice to the opposite, so that the arrow indicates data flow from the computer to the keyboard. For
details, see page 39.
CAUTION
Keep in mind that when you set Global, Current and User Voice to On, enable data sync from the computer to the MOTIF XS
(instrument), and then click the [Start] button at the bottom, this operation transmits these types of data currently on the
Editor to the MOTIF XS itself, automatically overwriting and erasing all the corresponding data already existing on memory of
the MOTIF XS instrument. When you want to use the settings on the MOTIF XS itself as starting data for editing, set the
boxes of Global, Current and Voice in the Auto Sync Setting to on so that the data flows from the instrument to the computer.

When “USB” is selected at the [mLAN/1394]/[USB] checkboxes (2), you can make detailed settings for
the Input Port and Output Port by setting this button to “On.” This setting is necessary if the Port name is
changed on a computer.
4 MIDI
Set the MIDI Port for communication between the MOTIF XS Editor and the MOTIF XS instrument. When
“USB” is selected at the [mLAN/1394]/[USB] checkboxes (2) and the [Detail] button (3) is set to “Off,”
select a value such as “Yamaha USB 0-1” or “MOTIF XS6-1(2,3,4)” at the top left column. When “USB” is
selected and the [Detail] button (3) is set to “On,” select Port 4 for the MOTIF XS in the MIDI In setting
then select Port 1 and Port 4 for the MOTIF XS in the MIDI Out settings. When “mLAN/1394” is selected
at the [mLAN/1394]/[USB] checkboxes (2), select the MIDI Port of the MOTIF XS at the MIDI column
and select the model name such as “MOTIF XS” at the mLAN Device column.
n When “!” is shown at left of the Port name (e.g., “! Yamaha USB IN 0-1”), this indicates that the previously
used Port cannot be found or some Ports are not set properly. Check the MIDI Port settings in the host
application.
n When the MOTIF XS is connected to a computer via an IEEE1394 cable and the mLAN/1394 setting above is
turned on, the MIDI Port can handle only note on/off messages. The mLAN Device setting is necessary for
transferring MIDI messages other than note on/off.
n Keep in mind that setup on the host application (Studio Manager) is necessary before making settings here.
When starting Studio Manager as a stand-alone application, see page 5. When starting Studio Manager as a
plug-in of the DAW application, refer to the manual of the DAW application.
n Make sure to set the MIDI IN/OUT parameter to “USB” in the MIDI display of the Utility mode on the MOTIF
XS instrument when “USB” is selected at the [mLAN/1394]/[USB] checkboxes. Likewise, make sure to set the

6 Auto Sync Setting
This section lets you set how the data synchronization between the MOTIF XS Editor and the MOTIF XS
instrument is executed when “OFFLINE” is changed to “ONLINE.” Actual data synchronization is
executed from the Auto Sync window (page 51) called up automatically under certain circumstances
such as clicking the [OFFLINE] button, starting the MOTIF XS Editor and opening a new file on the
Editor.
Global
Determines whether or not the Global data (see page 4) is synchronized and which data (MOTIF XS
Editor or MOTIF XS itself) is synchronized with the other.
Current
Determines whether or not the Current data (see page 4) is synchronized and which data (MOTIF XS
Editor or MOTIF XS itself) is synchronized with the other.
Voice
Determines whether or not the Voice data (see page 4) is synchronized and which data (MOTIF XS
Editor or MOTIF XS itself) is synchronized with the other.
Auto Start
When this is set to “On” and one of the following operations is executed, data synchronization will be
started automatically as soon as the Auto Sync window is opened.
• When clicking “OFFLINE” after setting the MIDI IN/OUT parameter correctly in the Utility mode on
the MOTIF XS, setting the MIDI Ports correctly on the computer, and making a proper connection.
• When the connection between the MOTIF XS and a computer are corrected after appropriately
correcting the setup of the MOTIF XS and the computer.
• When the settings on the MOTIF XS instrument and the computer are corrected after
appropriately reconnecting the devices.

CAUTION
When the Auto Start parameter is set to “On,” data synchronization is started automatically under certain circumstances
(page 51) such as clicking the [OFFLINE] button, starting the Editor and opening a new file on the Editor. Keep in mind that
this will cause unexpected data loss on the MOTIF XS Editor or the MOTIF XS itself, since new data automatically overwrites
old data upon data synchronization. Make sure to save your important data before using the MOTIF XS Editor.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems such as no sound output or abnormal behavior, verify the connections before
checking the following.
Sound does not change when using the knobs or sliders.
• Is “ONLINE” indicated on the Editor window?
• Is the lamp at left of “ONLINE” indicator turned on?
If it is turned off, the settings related to communication between the MOTIF XS and a computer
may be wrong. Check the MIDI Port setting (page 39) on the MOTIF XS Editor and Studio
Manager, the MIDI IN/OUT parameter setting in the MIDI display of the Utility mode on the MOTIF
