Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems such as no sound output or abnormal behavior, verify the connections before

checking the following.

Sound does not change when using the knobs or sliders.

• Is “ONLINE” indicated on the Editor window?

• Is the lamp at left of “ONLINE” indicator turned on?

If it is turned off, the settings related to communication between the MOTIF XF and a computer may be

wrong. Check the MIDI Port setting (page 40) on the MOTIF XF Editor, the MIDI IN/OUT parameter setting in

the MIDI display of the Utility mode on the MOTIF XF instrument, or the cable connection between the

MOTIF XF and the computer.

• Check the MIDI Port setting and Device No. setting. (page 41)

Bulk data is not transmitted/received successfully.

• Check the same points as above such as “ONLINE” indication and MIDI Port settings.

The appropriate Port is not shown in the Setup window.

• The MIDI Port in the Setup window can be selected from the Ports specified in the Cubase series. Check the

MIDI Port settings in the Cubase series.

• 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 Cubase

series.

Cannot be set to ONLINE or “Port Open Error” is shown.

• Check whether or not the MOTIF XF is connected to the computer properly, and check whether or not the

power of the MOTIF XF6/7/8 is turned on.

• On Windows, quit any application software which may be using the MOTIF XF6/7/8 Port. If the application

software closes unexpectedly without user input, restart the computer.

“Time Out Error” or “Communication Time Out Error” is shown.

• This message appears when the computer cannot get the response from the MOTIF XF6/7/8 and another

error occurs. Check whether or not the Receive Bulk parameter and the MIDI In/Out parameter of the MOTIF

XF are set properly in the Utility display called up via [UTILITY]  [F5]  [SF2].

The MOTIF XF Editor may be revised and updated without prior notice.
