Important Notices about the CD-ROM
Data Types
This CD-ROM includes two types of data: application software and sampled audio data. Please refer to pages 4 (Windows) and 9 (Macintosh) for software
installation instructions, and page 14 for the audio contents.
These applications allow you to edit MOTIF data and transfer data between your computer and the MOTIF.
You can import the audio data from an audio CD player (or any CD playing/ripping function on your computer) to the MOTIF via its INPUT jacks. For detailed
information, refer to the MOTIF Owner’s manual.
The application software is contained on track 1 (as recognized on an audio CD player), and the sampled audio data is contained in the subsequent tracks.
Never attempt to play back track 1 (containing the application software) on an audio CD player. Doing so may result in damage to your hearing as well
as to your CD player/audio speakers.
