Saving data to an external
device (Bulk Dump)
You can archive or back up the current status (data in the Edit
buffer) of the Voice Edit or Multi Edit by using the Bulk Dump
function to transmit the data to the DAW software on your
computer connected to the MOTIF-RACK XS.

For details about how to connect the MOTIF-RACK XS to a computer, see
page 17.

In order to properly use Bulk Dump, the MIDI Device Number and the
Receive Bulk Switch parameter must be set properly. For details, see page
100.
Transmitting and saving data
1.
On the DAW software, create a new Project, then
start recording.

On the MOTIF-RACK XS, hold the [VOICE] button or
[MULTI] button then press the [STORE] button.
The current status (on the Edit buffer) of the Voice Edit or

software on your computer.

When bulk data transmission does not work properly, try increasing
the transmit interval value (“Bulk Interval” parameter). See page 100.
3.
On the DAW software, save the Project file to which
the bulk data has been recorded.
Recalling data from the DAW software
1.
On the DAW software, open the Project file including
the data you want to call up.
2.
On the MOTIF-RACK XS, enter the Voice mode or
Multi mode according to the data type you want to
call up from the DAW software.
If the bulk data is for Normal Voices, select a Normal Voice
in the Voice mode. Likewise, if the bulk data is for Drum
Voices, select a Drum Voice; if it is for Multis, select the
Multi mode.
3.
On the DAW software, play back the Project file
including the bulk data.
The bulk data will be transmitted from the DAW software
(computer) to the MOTIF-RACK XS and then restored on
the Edit buffer as the current Voice or Multi.
When the MOTIF-RACK XS receives bulk data, the settings are
overwritten and replaced with the settings from the bulk data. Be
careful not to overwrite any important data.
