2 Voice/Song/Pattern mode

Determines the mode of the MOTIF XF, Voice, Song or Pattern. As soon as “Voice,” “Song” or “Pattern” is

selected here, the mode of the MOTIF XF instrument changes accordingly and the Auto Sync window

(page 52) opens. After setting parameters as necessary on this window, click [Start] to execute data

synchronization between the MOTIF XF Editor and the MOTIF XF 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 XF Editor and the MOTIF XF

instrument, meaning that any parameter edit you make on the MOTIF XF Editor is reflected in the same

parameter on the MOTIF XF instrument and vice versa. When OFFLINE is selected, editing on the MOTIF

XF Editor will not affect the MOTIF XF instrument and vice versa even if the MOTIF XF instrument is

connected to a computer.

Note that the indication here is automatically changed according to the status of communication

between the MOTIF XF Editor and the MOTIF XF instrument. For example, the ONLINE status changes

automatically to OFFLINE when the cable is disconnected accidentally.

Indicates that the current status is set to ONLINE. Clicking this calls up OFFLINE (2) described below.

Keep in mind that the ONLINE indication cannot be enabled when the MIDI Port is not set properly or the

MOTIF XF instrument is not properly connected to a computer.

This OFFLINE indication shows that the MIDI Port is set properly and the MOTIF XF is properly connected

to a computer. Clicking this calls up the Auto Sync window. From the Auto Sync window, you can

synchronize the settings between the MOTIF XF Editor and the MOTIF XF by clicking the [Start] button. As

soon as data synchronization is completed, the Auto Sync window is closed and the status of the Editor

changes from OFFLINE to ONLINE.

n When the Global, Current and Voice settings are set to “Off” and Auto Start is set to “On” in the Auto Sync

window, clicking here changes the Editor status from OFFLINE to ONLINE without opening the Auto Sync

window.

This OFFLINE indication shows that the MIDI Port is not set properly or the MOTIF XF instrument is not

connected to a computer properly. Clicking this calls up the Auto Sync window. After making sure to

connect the MOTIF XF instrument to a computer, set the MIDI Port properly then click the [Start] button in

the Auto Sync window to execute data synchronization between the MOTIF XF Editor and the MOTIF XF

instrument. As soon as data synchronization is completed, the Auto Sync window is closed and the status

of the Editor is changed from OFFLINE to ONLINE.
