Important Notices about the CD-ROM

Data Types

This CD-ROM includes two types of data: application software and sampled audio data. Please refer to pages 4 (Windows) and 9 (Macintosh) for software installation instructions, and page 14 for the audio contents. These applications allow you to edit MOTIF data and transfer data between your computer and the MOTIF. You can import the audio data from an audio CD player (or any CD playing/ripping function on your computer) to the MOTIF via its INPUT jacks. For detailed information, refer to the MOTIF Owner’s manual. The application software is contained on track 1 (as recognized on an audio CD player), and the sampled audio data is contained in the subsequent tracks.

Never attempt to play back track 1 (containing the application software) on an audio CD player. Doing so may result in damage to your hearing as well as to your CD player/audio speakers.

Operating System (OS)

The applications in this CD-ROM are provided in versions for both Windows and Macintosh operating systems. The installation procedure and the applications themselves differ depending on the operating system that you are using. Please refer to the appropriate installation instructions.

About Open Plug-in Technology

You can start the Voice Editor for MOTIF or the File Utility software as either a stand-alone software or a plug-in application in the Open Plug-in Technology compatible application. Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a newly developed software format that allows control over MIDI devices from a music software sequencer. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various parts of your music system, such as plug-in board editors, and mixing control editors – directly from an OPT-compatible sequencer, without having to use each separately. This also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music production system and making all operations more convenient and seamless.

About the OPT Le

The client application and its compatibility with OPT can be divided into three levels, as shown below.

vels

Level 1 – OPT Panels provides basic support for opening and displaying OPT control panels that can transmit data via the clients’ external MIDI ports.

Typically this will allow basic hardware editor control panels to operate properly.

OPT Processors provides support for real-time MIDI processors and panel automation. Typically this will allow both real-time and ofﬂine MIDI

Level 2 –

effects (e.g. Arpeggiators, transposers etc.) to operate properly and supply automation to OPT panels.

Level 3 – OPT Views provides support for edit views and MIDI processors/panels that require direct access to client sequencer storage structures. Typically

this will allow sophisticated MIDI edit views to be supported (e.g. List editors, Auto Accompaniment, Data Checkers etc.).
