Reference
The edited Voice will be lost when selecting the different Voice
or turning the power off. Make sure to store the Voice data to
the internal memory by pressing the [STORE] button before
selecting a different Voice or turning the power off.
n If desired, save the edited and stored Voices to a USB
storage device connected to the USB TO DEVICE
connector or a computer connected to the network to
which the MOTIF XS is also connected. Keep in mind that
edited Voice data is stored to internal User memory (Flash
ROM) and is maintained even when turning the power off.
As such it is not necessary to save the data to an external
device; however, we still recommend that you save or
archive all important data to an external device. Refer to
page 278 for details.
n Other convenient functions are also available in the Drum
Voice Edit mode. For details, see page 97.

the same as those of the Normal Voice. However, some
