2 Voice/Song/Pattern mode
Determines the mode of the MOTIF XS, Voice, Song or Pattern. As soon as “Voice,” “Song” or “Pattern” is
selected here, the mode of the MOTIF XS instrument changes accordingly and the Auto Sync window
(page 51) opens. After setting parameters as necessary on this window, click [Start] to execute data
synchronization between the MOTIF XS Editor and the MOTIF XS instrument.
3 ONLINE/OFFLINE
Clicking this switches the status of the Editor between “ONLINE” and “OFFLINE.” When “ONLINE” is
indicated, the edited status is completely synchronized between the MOTIF XS Editor and the MOTIF XS
instrument, meaning that any parameter edit you make on the MOTIF XS Editor is reflected in the same
parameter on the MOTIF XS instrument and vice versa. When OFFLINE is selected, editing on the MOTIF
XS Editor will not affect the MOTIF XS instrument and vice versa even if the MOTIF XS instrument is
connected to a computer.
Note that the indication here is automatically changed according to the status of communication
between the MOTIF XS Editor and the MOTIF XS instrument. For example, the ONLINE status changes
automatically to OFFLINE when the cable is disconnected accidentally.
