Using a Connected Computer

Controlling the DAW software from the

MOTIF XF

To enter the Remote Control mode, press the REMOTE [ON/

OFF] button (the lamp flashes). The REMOTE display

appears (like those shown below), and the panel controls

(such as buttons, knobs, sliders, and data dial) are enabled

for Remote operation of the computer software (their normal

functions are disabled). Press this button again to exit from

the Remote Control mode.

Using the MOTIF XF Editor VST

The MOTIF XF Editor VST lets you edit the Voice in the Voice/

Performance mode and Mixing setup in the Song/Pattern

mode of the MOTIF XF from your computer, giving you even

greater editing convenience. Because this software works as

a VST3 plug-in software on Cubase, you can launch this

software via the same operations as that of any other VST

Instrument. Particularly When connecting via IEEE1394, the

output information of the MOTIF XF will be shown on the

Cubase Audio Mixer and can be controlled in the same way

as any other VST Instrument. The data created on the MOTIF

XF Editor VST is transferred between the computer and the

MOTIF XF via a USB or IEEE1394 cable as bulk data. You

can load files created on the MOTIF XF Editor VST to the

MOTIF XF in the File mode via the LAN connection or by

using a USB storage device. Furthermore, the data edited on

the MOTIF XF is always synchronized with the data on the

computer (MOTIF XF Editor VST) and vice versa. This

provides a smooth, seamless interface, and makes it very

easy to create and edit your data.

The software such as Editor and Driver may be revised and

updated without prior notice. For details and the latest

information, refer to the above URL.

For instructions on using the MOTIF XF Editor VST, refer to the

PDF manual included with the software.
