Precautions when using the USB TO HOST connector

When connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST connector, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so risks freezing the computer and corrupting or even losing the data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, turn the power to the instrument off or restart the computer.

CAUTION

• Before connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST connector, exit from any power-saving mode (such as suspended, sleep, standby) of the computer.

• Before turning on the power to the instrument, connect the computer to the USB TO HOST connector.

• Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument on/off or plugging/unplugging the USB cable to/from the USB TO HOST connector.

- Quit any open applications.

- Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing

notes on the keyboard or playing back a song.)

• While a USB device is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or more between these operations: (1) when turning the power of the instrument off then on again, or (2) when alternately connecting/disconnecting the USB cable.

MOTIF XS Editor

Thanks to the 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 listed below.
