Setup
Determines the basic setup of the MOTIF XF Editor. After setting necessary parameters, click [OK] to
actually apply the settings to the MOTIF XF 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 [FW/1394]/[USB] checkboxes
Select which port (USB or FW) is used for communication between the MOTIF XF and computer.
3 [Detail] button
When “USB” is selected at the [FW/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 XF Editor and the MOTIF XF instrument. When
“USB” is selected at the [FW/1394]/[USB] checkboxes (2) and the [Detail] button (3) is set to “Off,”
select a value such as “Yamaha USB 0” or “MOTIF XF6 (MOTIF XF7, MOTIF XF8)” at the top left column.
When “USB” is selected and the [Detail] button (3) is set to “On,” select Port 1 and Port 4 both the
MOTIF XF MIDI In and MIDI Out settings. When “FW/1394” is selected at the [FW/1394]/[USB]
checkboxes (2), select the MIDI Port of the MOTIF XF at the MIDI column and select the model name
such as “MOTIF XF” at the FW Device column.
n When “!” is shown at left of the Port name (e.g., “! Yamaha USB IN 0”), 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 XF is connected to a computer via an IEEE1394 cable and the FW/1394 setting above is
turned on, the MIDI Port can handle only note on/off messages. The FW 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 XF
instrument when “USB” is selected at the [FW/1394]/[USB] checkboxes. Likewise, make sure to set the MIDI
IN/OUT parameter to “FW” in the Utility mode when “FW/1394” is selected.
