MOTIF XS Editor Installation Guide 3
MOTIF XS Editor is a convenient tool which lets you edit and save the various parameters of your MOTIF XS
synthesizer. These include Common/Part Mixing parameters (edited in the Song or Pattern mode of the MOTIF XS)
such as Volume, Pan, EG, and Cutoff, as well as parameters of a Voices assigned to each Part (edited in the Voice
mode of the MOTIF XS). 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
