NOTE
About Extensions for Steinberg DAW
“Extensions for Steinberg DAW” is a set of program plug-ins and project templates developed by Yamaha to enhance the functions of
Steinberg DAW software. Simply by installing Extensions for Steinberg DAW and connecting the MOTIF XS to your computer via an
IEEE1394 cable, you can take advantage of various features which enable you to link Cubase (the Steinberg DAW) with the MOTIF XS.
This manual covers situations when connecting the MOTIF XS to a computer to which Cubase 4 / Cubase Studio 4 / Cubase AI4 and
Extensions for Steinberg DAW have already been installed. Keep in mind that you will need a USB storage device or you will need to
connect the MOTIF XS to a computer via ETHERNET when using the Song Import feature.
NOTE
• The optional mLAN16E2 should be installed to the MOTIF XS6 or MOTIF XS7 when using the features (except for “Song Import”) enabled by
installing Extensions for Steinberg DAW. This manual assumes that the mLAN16E2 has been already installed to the MOTIF XS6 or MOTIF XS7.
• The version of Cubase 4 should be 4.0.2 or higher for using the Song Import feature.
What Extensions for Steinberg DAW can do
Simply by installing Extensions for Steinberg DAW, you can utilize the following features when combining Cubase 4 / Cubase Studio 4 /
Cubase AI4 with the MOTIF XS.
• Auto setting of Audio Driver
• Audio/MIDI Port with device name
• Auto settings of Remote Device
• Project templates with Input/Output Bus settings
• Song Import from MOTIF XS6/7/8
NOTE
• Make sure to install Cubase 4 / Cubase Studio 4 / Cubase AI4 before installing Extensions for Steinberg DAW. This is necessary because the
Project Template file for the MOTIF XS6/7/8 must be installed to the same folder to which Cubase has been already installed.
Auto setting of Audio Driver
With Extensions for Steinberg DAW installed, you can set the
Audio Driver of Cubase to the Driver of Extensions for Steinberg DAW (ASIO mLAN) by clicking [OK] on the following
popup dialog box that appears when starting Cubase.
NOTE
• Before starting Cubase, connect the MOTIF XS to a computer via
an IEEE1394 cable then turn on the power of the MOTIF XS to
properly enable this feature.
Audio/MIDI Port with device
name
With Extensions for Steinberg DAW installed, the Audio/MIDI
Ports including the device name “MOTIF XS” will be indicated
on the Device Setting window in Cubase, letting you intuitively
set the device setting. “MOTIF XS Main L” is shown as an
Audio Port while “MOTIF XS MIDI IN” is shown as a MIDI
Port, for example. For details, see the following two tables.
• Before starting Cubase, connect the MOTIF XS to a computer via
an IEEE1394 cable then turn on the power of the MOTIF XS to
properly enable this feature.
• Any name without a device name like “mLAN 10” will be assigned to
a port that is not used by the MOTIF XS.
• The Port names are automatically set as listed below each time you
start Cubase, even if you change the Audio/MIDI Port names of the
Driver supporting the Extensions for Steinberg DAW.

• Even if the MIDI Port is changed, it will be reset to the above one
when Cubase is restarted.
• The Remote Control function is available also when the MOTIF XS
is connected to a computer via a USB cable. In this case, click [+]
from the Device Setup window to call up the Device List, and then
select “Yamaha MOTIF XS.” You will also need to set the MIDI
Ports manually in this case.
In the initial setting, “All MIDI Inputs” may be applied to
the MOTIF XS Remote port. This means that MIDI messages generated by operating Remote Controls such as
Transport Control on the MOTIF XS panel may be
recorded to a track of a Cubase Project. You will need to
remove the “All MIDI Inputs” from “MOTIF XS Remote”
via the following instructions so that MIDI messages
unnecessary for Song creation are not recorded to a track
of a Cubase Project.
1. Select [Devices] → [Device Setup] to call up the Device
Setup dialog box.
2. Select “MIDI Port Setup” from the Device column.
3. Remove the checkmark from the “All Inputs” column in
the “mLAN MIDI In/MOTIF XS remote” row.
4. Click [OK] to close the Device Setup dialog box
Auto settings of Remote Device
With Extensions for Steinberg DAW installed, the MOTIF XS
connected to a computer via an IEEE1394 cable will be registered as the Remote Device of Cubase. Also, the detailed settings
such as MIDI Ports will be set automatically. You can confirm
these points by selecting [Devices] → [Device Setup] to call up
the Device Setup dialog box.
For details about function assignments, refer to the Owner's
Manual and Data List 2 of the MOTIF XS.
NOTE
• This setting will be maintained the next time you start up Cubase.
• Please refer to the Cubase Operation Guide for more information
on setting up Cubase parameters.
The Remote Device name shown in Cubase and the MIDI Port
name are as follows:
Remote Device name : Yamaha MOTIF XS
MIDI In and Out Port name : MOTIF XS Remote
