Installation Instructions

MOTIF XF Editor Installation Guide 7

Studio Manager is a cross-platform application that enables you use multiple Editor programs for remotely

controlling Yamaha hardware from your computer, and allows you to save the Editor settings for instant recall.

You can run Studio Manager as a stand-alone application, or as a plug-in within DAW (digital audio workstation)/

sequencer applications that are compatible with Studio Connections, such as Cubase. In either case, the basic

functionality is the same. For the latest information on compatible DAW applications, refer to the following website.

The settings of each editor can be saved and recalled together from Studio Manager or the DAW application. In

other words, you can change the settings of your entire system in a single operation by recalling the settings for

multiple devices from Studio Manager or your DAW application. This capability is referred to as “Recall.”

When you want to save setting files, you can do this from Studio Manager to recall multiple devices at once, or from

an individual Editor to recall only a specific device. When you save your settings in your DAW application, the

Studio Manager settings will also be saved together with the DAW application file, and can also be recalled in the

same way.
