New Functions in MOTIF XF Version 1.20
Yamaha has upgraded the MOTIF XF firmware to Version 1.20, adding Wireless Network functions. This supplement to the Owner’s
Manual describes these changes.
• The company names and product names in this Manual are the trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies.
• MIDI communication performance may be affected by your network environment, including the network device.
• Operation of other wireless network devices in the area and the use of electrical devices such as a microwave oven in close proximity may also affect the MIDI
communication performance.
Wireless Network MIDI function
Now the MOTIF XF offers wireless MIDI connectivity with
Yamaha’s new iPad applications*. After connecting a compatible
Wireless USB LAN Adapter, you can send and receive MIDI
messages between the XF and the iPad.
*There are 4 new Yamaha iPad applications which expand the features of
MOTIF XF including Keyboard Arp & Drum Pad, Faders & XY Pad, Multi Editor
Essential and Voice Editor Essential (as of April, 2011).
1 Connect a Wireless USB LAN Adapter to the USB
TO DEVICE terminal of the instrument.
2 Set the Wireless Network in the Utility mode.
Press [UTILITY], [F1] General, then [SF3] Network.
Set Device (1) to “wireless,” press [ENTER] then wait until the
“Complete” message appears.
Move the cursor to Wireless Setting (2), then press [ENTER].
3 Make the connection setup.
Select the desired one from the following methods, then set the
related parameters.
•
Infrastructure mode: Data will be communicated via the
Access Point. Select this mode when you have an available
Access Point and you need to communicate with two or more
network devices.
•
Ad-hoc mode: Data will be communicated directly without
use of the Access Point. Select this mode when you are
communicating with iPad or other devices directly without any
Access Point.
When setting to Infrastructure:
3-1 At Configuration Mode (3), select “infrastructure”
to call up the available Access Points in Wireless
Networks (4).
Select the desired Access Point then press [ENTER].
NOTE
Pressing [SF6] INFO calls up the Utility Information display,
allowing you to confirm the network information of the instrument.
NOTE Confidential Access Points (like Stealth Mode) will not be shown
in the Wireless Networks. In such a case, press [SF5] Add (5),
then enter SSID, Security, Key or Passphrase in the following
display.
3-2 If you select a security-free Access Point, go to 3-3.
If not, either of the following displays appears,
depending on the security protocol of the Access
Point.
Press [SF6] CHAR, enter the Key or Passphrase, and press
[ENTER]. An “Executing...” message appears and the
instrument starts connection to an Access Point. When the
instrument successfully establishes communication, a
“Completed” message appears.
NOTE
The Key or Passphrase can be entered with a USB ASCII
keyboard.
