NOTICE

Yamaha has upgraded the MOTIF XF firmware to Version 1.10, adding a number of new functions. This supplement to the Owner’s
Manual describes these changes.

Editing and storing a Sample Voice as a Mixing Voice

You can now convert a Sample Voice to a Mixing Voice in the
Mixing Play display of the Song/Pattern mode, allowing you to
then edit the sampled audio as a Voice.

1 From the Mixing Play display, select a Part to which

a Sample Voice is assigned.

“VceConv” appears at the tab corresponding to [F6].

2 Press [F6] VceConv to convert a Sample Voice of

the selected Part to a Mixing Voice.

Completion of conversion calls up the Mixing Voice Store
window.

3 Use the data dial or [INC/YES]/[DEC/NO] to select a

Store destination number in the Mixing Voice Store
window.

NOTE Only the MIXV (Mixing Voice Bank) is available.

Editing a Waveform on the optional Flash Memory Expansion Module

You can edit a Waveform on the optional Flash Memory
Expansion Module by using the newly added Sampling Job.

1 From the [F3] Other display of the Sampling Job,

select “04:Copy from Flash Memory” then press
[ENTER].

To cancel the Store operation, press [DEC/NO] to return to the

After the Store has been completed, a “Completed” message
appears and operation returns to the Mixing Voice Play display.
You can confirm that the stored Mixing Voice is assigned to the

Pattern Store. Otherwise, the Mixing Voice assignment will be
lost when turning the power off or selecting the different Song/
Pattern.

NOTE

This operation will cancel the link between all the Voices and the
original Waveform, then make a new link between the same
Voices and the Waveform copied to the Sampling memory.

using the Sampling Edit and Sampling Job
operations.

4 From the [F3] Other display of the Sampling Job,

select “03:Copy to Flash Memory” then press
[ENTER].

memory to the Flash Memory Expansion Module.

Memory Expansion Module.

Additional menus in Sampling Edit/Sampling Main display

With this new version, “[F3] Normalize,” “[F4] Slice,” and “[F5]

Sampling Main display respectively, allowing you to more easily
call up these displays.

2 Select the target memory (“USR”, “FL1” or “FL2”)

at 1, then select the Waveform number at 2.

All the Waveforms having the same name are listed on the
“Same Name Waveforms” section of the display.

This Job will delete all Waveforms with the same name except for
the selected Waveform, even if they contain different data.

3 Press [ENTER] to execute the Job.

This operation will delete all the Waveforms with the same name
except for the selected Waveform.

NOTE

This operation will cancel the link status between the Voices and
deleted Waveforms, then make a new link between the same
Voices and the undeleted Waveforms respectively.

Increasing the available memory of the Flash Memory Expansion Module

A new Sampling Job now lets you increase the available
memory of the Flash Memory Expansion Module.

1 From the [F3] Other display of the Sampling Job,

select “05: Delete Same Name Waveforms” then
press [ENTER].

Revision of Key Bank number assignment after Sampling

The method of the Key Bank number assignment has been
changed from the previous version. In the previous version, “1”
was assigned to the Key Bank of the latest Sampling and the
rest of the Key Bank numbers were increased by 1. In this new
version, the next number is assigned to the Key Bank of the
latest Sampling.
