What is the MOTIF XS Editor?

MOTIF XS Editor is a convenient tool which lets you edit and save the various parameters of your MOTIF XS tone generator. These include Voice and Mixing parameters (edited in the Voice or Mixing mode of the MOTIF XS) such as Volume, Pan, EG, and Cutoff and other settings. Thanks to its 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 below

•Studio Manager

•DAW application software compatible with Studio Connections

Studio Manager

Studio Manager V2 is a cross-platform application that enables you to start multiple Editors for controlling Yamaha hardware products remotely, and to save multiple Editor settings. You can run Studio Manager as a stand-alone application, or as a plug-in within DAW applications compatible with Studio Connections such as Cubase 4 or Cubase AI 4.

For more information, refer to the Studio Manager PDF manual.

Studio Connections

Studio Connections is a joint project begun by Steinberg and Yamaha. Music production systems now increasingly rely on both software and hardware, and there is a pressing need for closer integration between the two. Studio Connections provides a comprehensive and seamless music production environment—making the use of hardware and software both easier and much more efﬁcient. The following functions are available in Studio Connections.

Recall

With the Recall function, all settings in each Editor can be saved within Studio Manager, and then called up again when needed. This enables you to recall all the settings of multiple devices from Studio Manager and control the entire system easily, instantly and automatically.

When executing the Recall function in the Studio Manager, the parameter settings of either device (MOTIF XS or DAW software on a computer) are synchronized with the other. You can determine which device (MOTIF XS or DAW software) is regarded as the master of the parameter settings by setting the Auto Sync Setting (page 40).

Recall is especially convenient when used with a DAW application compatible with Studio Connections. This lets you save the Editor data directly to the project ﬁle of the DAW letting you recall all necessary hardware settings automatically by simply opening the project ﬁle.

About Open Plug-in Technology

Audio Integration

Plug-in software such as software synthesizers and software samplers are exceptionally convenient in that they let you easily change the various settings and parameters within the host application. However, control over hardware is not so easy—with the need for various setups such as audio connections, driver settings and MIDI port connections.

By using a Studio Connections-compatible DAW software, you can control the external hardware synthesizer within the application, without the need to set up complex connections within a DAW software application— just as easily and conveniently as you would with plug-in software. The Audio Integration function makes all this possible. For details about Recall and Audio Integration, visit our web site at:

http://www.studioconnections.org/

About Open Plug-in Technology

Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a software format that enables you to control MIDI devices from a music DAW application software. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various parts of your music system, such as voice editors of the synthesizer and mixing control editors—directly from an OPT-compatible software, without having to use each separately. OPT also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music production system and making all operations more convenient and seamless.

In addition to the original OPT, Open Plug-in Technology Version 2 (OPT 2), designed for Studio Connections, is also available. The host application Studio Manager supports OPT 2.

About the OPT 2 Overview

OPT 2 is a plug-in format that enhances OPT Level 1 (Panels) and adds some convenient functions for Studio Connections.

Data Structure of the MOTIF XS Editor

The MOTIF XS Editor lets you create the following data and save them as a single ﬁle (extension: X0E).

•Current Global data (latest status of edited global parameters)

•Current data in the Voice mode (latest status of edited Voice)

•Current data in the Song/Pattern mode (consisting of Mixing setup, latest status of edited Voice and 16 Mixing Voices)

•User Voice data (consisting of three Normal Voice Banks and one Drum Voice Bank)

Current settings includes the latest settings of the Common and Element parameters for the Voice last assigned to each of Parts 1 – 16, as well as Mixing parameter settings such as Voice assignment, pan, volume and effect for each Part. Among the Voice Banks, only the Mixing Voice Bank data belongs to the Current settings. The MOTIF XS Editor lets you edit parameters (including Element parameters) of the Voice assigned to each Part and save the latest edit status as a ﬁle without storing it as a User Voice or a Mixing Voice. This means that you can easily recall the latest status of the previous edit simply by opening the ﬁle.

nThe MOTIF XS Editor handles the Global data which includes some of the parameters shown on the “G” row in the Mixer section and all the parameters in the Global Settings of the Parameter Category section (pages 20 and 23).

The diagram illustrated below indicates the structure of the data created via the MOTIF XS Editor, the structure of the data stored in the internal memory of the MOTIF XS instrument and the relationship between those two types of data.

An Example of MOTIF XS Editor in Use

There is no single way to use the many components in the MOTIF XS Editor. Your editing needs and preferences may differ; however, the following example gives you a simple step-by-step guide in how to use the MOTIF XS Editor. As an example, this section explains how to edit a Voice in the Voice mode, edit a Mixing program in the Song mode, then store the edited data to the memory of the MOTIF XS instrument and save the ﬁnal results of your editing to a ﬁle.

nIf the [Song] or [Pattern] indication (at the top left of the display) is on, perform the instructions below from step 1. If the [Voice] indication is on, perform the instructions below from step 2.

1. Change the mode to the Voice mode by clicking the [Voice] indication (at the top left

of the display).

If the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] indication is set to [ONLINE] before changing the mode, the Auto Sync window will be called up automatically when this step is executed. As step 2 is thus unnecessary, you should proceed to step 3.

2. Click the [OFFLINE] to call up the Auto Sync window if the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] indication is set to [OFFLINE].

3. On the Auto Sync window, set communication-related parameters such as Input Port, Output Port and Device Number in the Data Port section, then set the direction of Data Auto Synchronization (Global, Current and Voice) in the Auto Sync Setting section.

When you want to use the settings on the MOTIF XS itself as starting data for editing, set the boxes of Global, Current and Voice in the Auto Sync Setting to on so that the data ﬂows from the instrument to the computer. To use the settings on the MOTIF XS Editor as starting data, set both Global, Current and Voice to the opposite, so that the arrow indicates data ﬂow from the computer to the keyboard. For details, see page 39.

CAUTION

Keep in mind that when you set Global, Current and User Voice to On, enable data sync from the computer to the MOTIF XS (instrument), and then click the [Start] button at the bottom, this operation transmits these types of data currently on the Editor to the MOTIF XS itself, automatically overwriting and erasing all the corresponding data already existing on memory of the MOTIF XS instrument. When you want to use the settings on the MOTIF XS itself as starting data for editing, set the boxes of Global, Current and Voice in the Auto Sync Setting to on so that the data ﬂows from the instrument to the computer.
