2 Quick Setup

the MOTIF XS instrument by clicking a convenient preset setup.

n The settings of the MOTIF XS instrument made via the operation here cannot be saved as an Editor ﬁle.

MIDI

The following setups are equivalent to those in Quick Setup in the Utility mode of the MOTIF XS.

1 Internal

This setup is useful when you use the sequencer function (Song or Pattern) on the MOTIF XS instrument

alone (without a computer).

2 SEQ to PC

This setup is useful when you transmit the Song or Pattern playback data to a connected computer and

record it to a DAW application software on the computer.

3 REC on PC

This setup is useful when you record your keyboard performance on the MOTIF XS to a DAW application

software on the connected computer.

4 ARP to PC

This setup is useful when you transmit the Arpeggio playback data on the MOTIF XS instrument to a

connected computer and record it to a DAW application software on the computer.

mLAN Audio

The following setups are equivalent to the mLAN Monitor Setup in the Utility mode of the MOTIF XS.

5 St-Alone (stand alone)

This should be selected when you are using the MOTIF XS alone or are not using the DAW software even

with a computer connected to the MOTIF XS via an IEEE1394 cable. When this is selected, the audio

signal of the MOTIF XS (only Parts which are set to “L&R” as the Output Select parameter) will be output

directly via the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks normally.

6 With PC

This should be selected when you are using the MOTIF XS as an audio device with the DAW software.

When this is selected, the audio signal of the MOTIF XS (only Parts which are set to “L&R” as the Output

Select parameter) will be output to the DAW software on a computer via an IEEE1394 cable, merged and

mixed with the DAW sound, returned back to the MOTIF XS, then output via the OUTPUT L/MONO and R

jacks. Selecting this allows you to apply VST Effects within the DAW software to the MOTIF XS sound.

7 PC Drct (Direct Monitor)

This should be selected when recording your keyboard performance on the MOTIF XS instrument to the

DAW software on the computer. The audio signal of the MOTIF XS (only Parts which are set to “m1” –“m14”

or “m1&2” – “13&14” as the Output Select parameter) will be sent to DAW, while the audio signal also will

be output directly via the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks to monitor the sound without latency. The audio

signal from the DAW software will be output via an IEEE1394 cable. Keep in mind that the Rec Monitor of

the DAW software should be set to “off” in order to prevent “double” sound from occurring.

n MOTIF XS keeps the settings of the mLAN Audio function after you’ve closed the MOTIF XS Editor VST.

MOTIF XS does not output sound to OUTPUT L/MONO, R even after you’ve closed the editor, or

disconnected from the computer with the “With PC” setting. Make sure to conﬁrm the setting on the MOTIF

XS itself after using the editor in stand-alone mode.
