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 3 (Windows) and 9 (Macintosh) for software
installation instructions.
These applications allow you to edit MOTIF-RACK data and transfer data between your computer and the MOTIF-RACK.
You can play back the audio data from an audio CD player (or any CD playing/ripping function on your computer).
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.
Tracks 2 - 12 contain the demo songs created on the MOTIF-RACK or on another platform device using the Modular Synthesis Plug-in Boards. You can
check out the Plug-in Board voices by playing back these tracks.

About Open Plug-in Technology

You can start the Voice Editor for MOTIF-RACK 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 is divided into three levels, as shown below.

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.

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.).

vels

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

Start the computer.

3

Insert the included CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your Macintosh
computer. The CD-ROM icon appears on the desktop.

computer will recognize only the MOTIF-RACK as a MIDI
instrument. If you use another MIDI instrument in addition to the
MOTIF-RACK or you add a second MOTIF-RACK to the existing
system, you should create an original Studio Setup file. For details,
refer to the on-line manual supplied with the OMS.

n The included OMS studio setup file may not function even if you

follow the above procedure, depending on your Macintosh/Mac OS
version. (MIDI data cannot be transmitted/received even if the setup
becomes available.)
In this situation, connect your Macintosh to the MOTIF-RACK via
the USB cable and follow the procedure below to re-create the setup
file.

1 Start OMS Setup and select “New Setup” from the “File” menu.
