Troubleshooting
Song/Pattern (Phrase) cannot be recorded.
 Is there enough free memory for recording?
Check the available amount of the sequencer memory on the Song Information window (called via [SONG]
 [F2]  [SF6]) or
Pattern Information window (called via [PATTERN]  [F2]  [SF6]).
The total MOTIF XF memory capacity determines the number of Songs/Patterns (phrases) that can be recorded. For example,
if the memory contains Songs/Patterns (phrases) that use up a large amount of memory, the memory may become full even
though the available Pattern or Song numbers are not all used.
Cannot enter the Pattern Job mode/Pattern Mixing mode even when pressing the [JOB]
button in the Pattern mode.
 Check whether the MOTIF XF is in the Pattern Chain mode or not.
If so, exit from the Pattern Chain mode, then press the [JOB] button or [MIXING] button.
The drum sound is wrong or unexpected when changing the transpose value in the
Song/Pattern Play mode.
 This is normal. Changing the transpose setting while playing a Drum Voice will produce different sounds for the same keys
played.
Microphone does not work properly.
 Check whether the Mic/Line parameter is set to “mic” or not.
 Check whether the Gain Knob on the rear panel is set to minimum position or not.
Cannot record samples.
 Have you exceeded the maximum allowable number of samples (key banks)?
 Is there enough sample memory available?
 Is the Sampling Source setting appropriate?
 Is the Trigger mode set appropriately?
Data communication via MIDI/USB/IEEE1394 between the computer and the MOTIF XF
does not work properly.
 Check whether the Port settings on the computer are appropriate or not.
 Check whether or not the MIDI IN/OUT parameter is set to the appropriate value.
The MOTIF XF does not sound properly even when playing back the Song data on the
computer or the MIDI instrument connected to the MOTIF XF.
 Make sure to set the MOTIF XF to the Song mode or Pattern mode. The Voice mode or Performance mode may not produce
the proper sound even when playing back the Song data on the MIDI instrument or the computer connected to the MOTIF XF.
