What is the MOTIF XF Editor?
MOTIF XF Editor is a convenient tool which lets you edit and save the various parameters of your MOTIF XF
tone generator. These include Voice and Mixing parameters (edited in the Voice or Mixing mode of the
MOTIF XF) such as Volume, Pan, EG, and Cutoff and other settings. Thanks to its easy-to-understand
graphical interface, you can edit various parameters of the MOTIF XF right from your computer — using the
mouse to adjust the virtual knobs, sliders, and buttons and entering values from the computer keyboard.
Finally, all the changes you have made can be saved to your computer or transmitted to the MOTIF XF
instrument.
You can use this MOTIF XF Editor as a plug-in for the software below
• Studio Manager
• DAW application software compatible with Studio Connections
The MOTIF XF Editor lets you adjust the hue as desired (page 6). This manual uses example screen shots
having the most universal color visibility, allowing the manual to be easily viewed by many people having
different types of color recognition.
Studio Manager
Studio Manager V2 is a cross-platform application that enables you to start multiple Editors for controlling
Yamaha hardware products remotely, and to save multiple Editor settings. You can run Studio Manager as a
stand-alone application, or as a plug-in within DAW applications compatible with Studio Connections such
as Cubase or Cubase AI.
For more information, refer to the Studio Manager PDF manual.
Studio Connections
Studio Connections is a joint project begun by Steinberg and Yamaha.
Music production systems now increasingly rely on both software and
hardware, and there is a pressing need for closer integration between the
two. Studio Connections provides a comprehensive and seamless music
production environment — making the use of hardware and software both
easier and much more efficient. The following functions are available in
Studio Connections.
Recall
With the Recall function, all settings in each Editor can be saved within Studio Manager, and then called up
again when needed. This enables you to recall all the settings of multiple devices from Studio Manager and
control the entire system easily, instantly and automatically.
Recall is especially convenient when used with a DAW application compatible with Studio Connections. This
lets you save the Editor data directly to the project file of the DAW letting you recall all necessary hardware
settings automatically by simply opening the project file.
When executing the Recall function in the Studio Manager, the parameter settings of either device (MOTIF XF or
DAW software on a computer) are synchronized with the other. You can determine which device (MOTIF XF or DAW
software) is regarded as the master of the parameter settings by setting the Auto Sync Setting (page 41).
About Open Plug-in Technology
MOTIF XF Editor Owner’s Manual

Audio Integration
Plug-in software such as software synthesizers and software samplers are exceptionally convenient in that
they let you easily change the various settings and parameters within the host application. However, control
over hardware is not so easy — with the need for various setups such as audio connections, driver settings
and MIDI port connections.
By using a Studio Connections-compatible DAW software, you can control the external hardware synthesizer
within the application, without the need to set up complex connections within a DAW software application —
just as easily and conveniently as you would with plug-in software. The Audio Integration function makes all
this possible. For details about Recall and Audio Integration, visit our web site at:
http://www.studioconnections.org/
About Open Plug-in Technology
Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a software format that enables you to control MIDI devices from a music
DAW application software. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various parts of your music
system, such as voice editors of the synthesizer and mixing control editors — directly from an OPT-
compatible software, without having to use each separately. OPT also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI
drivers for each application, streamlining your music production system and making all operations more
convenient and seamless.
In addition to the original OPT, Open Plug-in Technology Version 2 (OPT 2), designed for Studio Connections,
is also available. The host application Studio Manager supports OPT 2.
About the OPT 2 Overview
OPT 2 is a plug-in format that enhances OPT Level 1 (Panels) and adds some convenient
functions for Studio Connections.
Plug-in software compatible with OPT 2 is indirectly
connected to the DAW application compatible with
Studio Connection, via the Studio Manager.

Data Structure of the MOTIF XF Editor
MOTIF XF Editor Owner’s Manual

Data Structure of the MOTIF XF Editor
The MOTIF XF Editor lets you create the following data and save them as a single file (extension: X3E).
Current Global data (latest status of edited global parameters)
Current data in the Voice mode (latest status of edited Voice)
Current data in the Song/Pattern mode (consisting of Mixing setup, latest status of edited Voice and 16 Mixing Voices)
User Voice data (consisting of three Normal Voice Banks and one Drum Voice Bank)
Current settings includes the latest settings of the Common and Element parameters for the Voice last assigned to
each of Parts 1 – 16, as well as Mixing parameter settings such as Voice assignment, pan, volume and effect for
each Part. Among the Voice Banks, only the Mixing Voice Bank data belongs to the Current settings. The MOTIF
XF Editor lets you edit parameters (including Element parameters) of the Voice assigned to each Part and save the
latest edit status as a file without storing it as a User Voice or a Mixing Voice. This means that you can easily recall
the latest status of the previous edit simply by opening the file.
n The MOTIF XF Editor handles the Global data which includes some of the parameters shown on the “G” row in the Mixer
section and all the parameters in the Global Settings of the Parameter Category section (pages 21 and 24).
The diagram illustrated below indicates the structure of the data created via the MOTIF XF Editor, the
structure of the data stored in the internal memory of the MOTIF XF instrument and the relationship between
those two types of data.
*1 When the MOTIF XF instrument is connected to the computer properly with the ONLINE status, editing a parameter on the MOTIF XF Editor affects the same parameter on the MOTIF XF itself, and
vice versa.
*2 The Store Voice operation on the Editor will store the Voice data to the memory of the MOTIF XF instrument as well as the memory of the Editor.
*3 The Store Global operation and Store Mixing operation will store the data only to the memory of the MOTIF XF instrument.

Starting the MOTIF XF Editor
Install the driver (USB-MIDI driver or Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver), Studio Manager and MOTIF XF 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 “FW” in the Utility
mode, follow the instructions below to start the MOTIF XF Editor.
n For details about connection between the MOTIF XF and a computer, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the MOTIF XF.
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 Ports 1 and 4 for the MOTIF XF 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 Ports
corresponding to the Main of the MOTIF XF, in both the Input Ports 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 XF to a computer via a USB cable, the MIDI Ports are automatically set
simply by starting Studio Manager from Cubase or Cubase AI. This is also true when connecting the
MOTIF XF to a computer via an IEEE1394 cable and installing “Extensions for Steinberg DAW” to the
computer.
3. Start the MOTIF XF 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

An Example of MOTIF XF Editor in Use
There is no single way to use the many components in the MOTIF XF Editor. Your editing needs and
preferences may differ; however, the following example gives you a simple step-by-step guide in how to use
the MOTIF XF Editor. As an example, this section explains how to edit a Voice in the Voice mode, edit a
Mixing program in the Song mode, then store the edited data to the memory of the MOTIF XF instrument and
save the final results of your editing to a file.
Editing in the Voice mode
n If the [Song] or [Pattern] indication (at the top left of the display) is on, perform the instructions below from step 1. If the
[Voice] indication is on, perform the instructions below from step 2.
1. Change the mode to the Voice mode by clicking the [Voice] indication (at the top left of
the display).
If the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] indication is set to [ONLINE] before changing the mode, the Auto Sync
window will be called up automatically when this step is executed. As step 2 is thus unnecessary, you
should proceed to step 3.
2. Click the [OFFLINE] to call up the Auto Sync window if the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE]
indication is set to [OFFLINE].
3. On the Auto Sync window, set communication-related parameters such as Input Port,
Output Port and Device Number in the Data Port section, then set the direction of Data
Auto Synchronization (Global, Current and Voice) in the Auto Sync Setting section.
When you want to use the settings on the MOTIF XF itself as starting data for editing, set the boxes of
Global, Current and Voice in the Auto Sync Setting to on so that the data flows from the instrument to the
computer. To use the settings on the MOTIF XF Editor as starting data, set both Global, Current and
Voice to the opposite, so that the arrow indicates data flow from the computer to the keyboard. For
details, see page 40.
NOTICE
Keep in mind that when you set Global, Current and Voice to On, enable data sync from the computer to the MOTIF
XF (instrument), and then click the [Start] button at the bottom, this operation transmits these types of data
currently on the Editor to the MOTIF XF itself, automatically overwriting and erasing all the corresponding data
already existing on memory of the MOTIF XF instrument. When you want to use the settings on the MOTIF XF itself
as starting data for editing, set the boxes of Global, Current and Voice in the Auto Sync Setting to on so that the
data flows from the instrument to the computer.
Make sure to set the desired data transfer direction in order to avoid data loss.
Any data which was overwritten and lost accidentally cannot be recovered.

4. From the Auto Sync window, click [Start] at the bottom.
The data synchronization will be started if the Port settings are correct. As soon as data synchronization
is completed, the Auto Sync window is closed, then the OFFLINE indication is changed to ONLINE
indication automatically. In this ONLINE status, editing a parameter on the MOTIF XF Editor affects the
same parameter on the MOTIF XF itself, and vice versa.
For more information, refer to “ONLINE/OFFLINE” on page 13.
5. Edit the Voice in the Voice mode.
5-1 On the “V” row of the Voice section, click the Bank name or Voice name to call up the
VOICE LIBRARY window.
5-2 From the list in the VOICE LIBRARY, select the desired Voice to assign it temporarily to
the current Part.
You can confirm the sound of the selected Voice by clicking any note on the virtual keyboard or the
MOTIF XF keyboard.
5-3 Click the Voice name or [OK] at bottom right of the window to close the VOICE LIBRARY
window.
You can cancel the Voice selection by clicking the Close (X) button or [Cancel] button at bottom right of
the window. By executing this operation, the Voice selection is reset to the original status and the VOICE
LIBRARY window closes.
NOTICE
When a different Voice has been selected, your edits of the previously selected Voice will be lost. If you want to store
the edits, make sure to store the Voice by using the Store window (page 48) before changing the Voice.
