The original factory settings of this instrument’s User Memory
can be restored as follows.

When connecting a computer to the MOTIF-RACK XS via a IEEE1394
cable, disable the driver used for this connection beforehand, and follow
the procedure below to execute Factory Set.
When the factory settings are restored, all the Voice, Multi, and system
settings in the Utility mode you created will be erased. Make sure you are
not overwriting any important data. Be sure to save all important data to a
computer before executing this procedure (page 47).
1.
Press the [UTILITY] button.
The Utility Select window appears.
2.
Select “Fctry Set” by using the Cursor [

buttons or Encoder knob, then press the [ENTER]
button or Encoder knob.
The Factory Set window appears.
When setting the Auto Factory Set parameter to on and pressing
the [ENTER] button, the Factory Set will automatically be executed
each time the power is turned on. Keep in mind that this also means
that your original data in Flash ROM will be erased each time you
turn on the power. Therefore, the Auto Factory Set parameter
should normally be set to off. When setting the Auto Factory Set
parameter to off and pressing the [ENTER] button, the Factory Set
will not be executed when turning the power on next time.
3.
Press the [ENTER] button or Encoder knob to
execute Factory Set.
The display prompts you for confirmation. Press the
[ENTER] button or Encoder knob again to execute Factory
Set. After Factory Set has been completed, operation
returns to the Voice Play display. Press the [EXIT] button to
cancel the Factory Set operation.
For Factory Set operations that take longer to process, you will see
the message “Now executing Factory Set…” during processing.
While such a message is shown on the display, never attempt to
turn off the power while data is being written to Flash ROM. Turning
the power off in this state results in loss of all user data and may
cause the system to freeze (due to corruption of data in the Flash
ROM). This means that this tone generator may not be able to start
up properly, even when turning the power on next time.
Internal Memory
Below are explanations of the internal memory used in the
MOTIF-RACK XS.
Flash ROM
ROM (Read Only Memory) is memory designed specifically for
reading out of data, and as such data cannot be written to it.
Unlike conventional ROM, Flash ROM can be overwritten—
allowing you to store your own original data. The contents of
Flash ROM are maintained even when the power is turned off.
DRAM
RAM (Random Access Memory) is memory designed specifically
for data writing and data reading operations. There are two
different kinds of RAM, depending on the condition for storing the
data: SRAM (Static RAM) and DRAM (Dynamic RAM). The
MOTIF-RACK XS is equipped with only DRAM. The created data
stored on DRAM is lost when the power is turned off. Because of
this, you should always store any data residing in DRAM to the
Flash ROM or the computer connected to the MOTIF-RACK XS
before turning off the power.
Edit Buffer and User Memory
The edit buffer is the memory location for edited Voice and Multi
data. Data edited in this location will be stored to the User
Memory. If you select another Voice or Multi, the entire contents
of the edit buffer will be rewritten with the newly selected Voice/
Multi data. Make sure to store any important data before
selecting another Voice, etc.
