Starting the MOTIF XS Editor
Install the driver (USB-MIDI driver or AI driver), Studio Manager and MOTIF XS Editor by following the
respective Installation Guides, then install the host application such as Cubase if necessary. After making
the required connection and setting the MIDI IN/OUT parameter to “USB” or “mLAN” in the Utility mode,
follow the instructions below to start the MOTIF XS Editor.
n For details about connection between the MOTIF XS and a computer, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the MOTIF XS.
1. Start the Studio Manager.
Studio Manager can be started as a plug-in within a Studio Connections-compatible DAW software, or
can be started as a stand-alone application.
2. Set the MIDI Ports.
When starting Studio Manager as a stand-alone application:
Set the MIDI Ports by calling up the MIDI Ports window via [File] → [Setup] ([SM2] → [Preference] for Mac)
→ [MIDI Settings]. When the connection is done via a USB cable, enter the checkmarks to the boxes of Por ts
1 and 4 for the MOTIF XS in both the Input Ports and the Output Ports, as illustrated below. When connection
is made via the IEEE1394 cable, enter checkmarks to the boxes of the Por ts corresponding to the mLAN MIDI
In and the mLAN MIDI Out of the MOTIF XS, in both the Input Por ts and the Output Ports.
When starting Studio Manager as a plug-in:
Set the MIDI Ports on the DAW application. For details, refer to the manual of your DAW application.
When connecting the MOTIF XS to a computer via a USB cable, the MIDI Ports are automatically set
simply by starting Studio Manager from Cubase 4 or Cubase AI 4. This is also true when connecting the
MOTIF XS to a computer via an IEEE1394 cable and installing “Extensions for Steinberg DAW” to the
computer.
3. Start the MOTIF XS Editor from the window of the Studio Manager.
For details, refer to the Installation Guide and the PDF manual of the Studio Manager.
When using Studio Manager as a plug-in with the Audio Integration features of Studio Connections
(within a compatible DAW), you can start the MOTIF XS Editor just as you would any other software
synthesizer. For details, visit the following web site.
