MOTIF XF Extension Owner’s Manual

How the MOTIF XF6/7/8 song is to be imported
About the imported file and project
• Keep in mind that only the “All” type (file extension: X3A) can be imported to a Cubase project. Make sure to set the FL1 and
FL2 to “with sample” before saving an “All” type file if the Waveforms used in the Song data are stored in the Flash Memory
Expansion Module (FL512M/FL1024M). If you do not so, the sounds of the Song will not be reproduced on the computer.
• The sample rate of the project created via the Song Import will be set to 44.1 kHz, meaning that the Sample Voice created on
the MOTIF XF6/7/8 via a sample rate other than 44.1 kHz will not play via the correct pitch in the Cubase project. If you want to
import a song with a Sample Voice, make sure to set the sample rate to 44.1 kHz before performing the Sampling operation.
About MIDI Tracks
• The MIDI tracks in the MOTIF XF6/7/8 song will be imported to a project as MIDI tracks. Each track of the project will be
assigned the same MIDI Transmit Channel as that on the original MOTIF XF6/7/8 song.
• The track using Voices that contains User Waveforms obtained in the Voice/Performance mode via the Sampling function is
imported as a MIDI track. In other words, the track which does not use a Sample Voice will be imported as a MIDI track.
• The Mixing setup of the MOTIF XF6/7/8 song will not be imported, resulting that the Volume and Pan of each MIDI track are set
to “Off” when the song is imported.
About Audio Tracks
• The Audio track (including the Program Change which specifies the Sample Voice) in the MOTIF XF6/7/8 song will be imported
to a project as the Audio track.
• The Mixing setup will not be imported, resulting that all the Volume values are set to 0 dB, all the Pan values are set to “C” and
all the EQ shapes are reset to flat in the Audio track when the song is imported.
• Among all the Samples comprising a Waveform assigned to a Sample Voice used by the MOTIF XF6/7/8 song, only the
Samples of the Key Bank including the note number recorded to the track will be imported to a Project when the box of “Import
all Media Files” is not checked. If you want to import all the Samples, check the box “Import all Media Files.”
Others
• The Song Import function supports only the data recorded to each track of the MOTIF XF6/7/8 song. Note that the Mixing setup
will not be imported to a Cubase project. If you want to apply the Mixing setup to the MOTIF XF6/7/8, use the MOTIF XF Editor
VST within Cubase. Start Studio Manager, followed by the MOTIF XF Editor VST within Cubase. Next, open the “All” type file
(extension: X3A), select the song same as that selected when executing the Song Import, and then execute the Sync function.
• The Song Import function does not support Pattern data and Arpeggio data.
• Song data imported to a Project cannot be exported back to the MOTIF XF6/7/8.
