Setup

Determines the basic setup of the MOTIF XS Editor. After setting necessary parameters, click [OK] to

actually apply the settings to the MOTIF XS Editor.

1 [X] (Close) button

Click this to close this window without applying the settings. This button is the same as the [Cancel]

button (#).

2 [mLAN/1394]/[USB] checkboxes

Select which port (USB or mLAN) is used for communication between the MOTIF XS and computer.

3 [Detail] button

When “USB” is selected at the [mLAN/1394]/[USB] checkboxes (2), you can make detailed settings for

the Input Port and Output Port by setting this button to “On.” This setting is necessary if the Port name is

changed on a computer.

4 MIDI

Set the MIDI Port for communication between the MOTIF XS Editor and the MOTIF XS instrument. When

“USB” is selected at the [mLAN/1394]/[USB] checkboxes (2) and the [Detail] button (3) is set to “Off,”

select a value such as “Yamaha USB 0-1” or “MOTIF XS6-1(2,3,4)” at the top left column. When “USB” is

selected and the [Detail] button (3) is set to “On,” select Port 4 for the MOTIF XS in the MIDI In setting

then select Port 1 and Port 4 for the MOTIF XS in the MIDI Out settings. When “mLAN/1394” is selected

at the [mLAN/1394]/[USB] checkboxes (2), select the MIDI Port of the MOTIF XS at the MIDI column

and select the model name such as “MOTIF XS” at the mLAN Device column.

n When “!” is shown at left of the Port name (e.g., “! Yamaha USB IN 0-1”), this indicates that the previously

used Port cannot be found or some Ports are not set properly. Check the MIDI Port settings in the host

application.

n When the MOTIF XS is connected to a computer via an IEEE1394 cable and the mLAN/1394 setting above is

turned on, the MIDI Port can handle only note on/off messages. The mLAN Device setting is necessary for

transferring MIDI messages other than note on/off.

n Keep in mind that setup on the host application (Studio Manager) is necessary before making settings here.

When starting Studio Manager as a stand-alone application, see page 5. When starting Studio Manager as a

plug-in of the DAW application, refer to the manual of the DAW application.

n Make sure to set the MIDI IN/OUT parameter to “USB” in the MIDI display of the Utility mode on the MOTIF

XS instrument when “USB” is selected at the [mLAN/1394]/[USB] checkboxes. Likewise, make sure to set the

MIDI IN/OUT parameter to “mLAN” in the Utility mode when “mLAN/1394” is selected.
