Using Display Templates

Version 1.50 of the MOTIF XS firmware saw the introduction of a new feature for customizing the design of 

displays using display templates. Yamaha has prepared a range of display templates for use with this 

feature. In order to make use of these templates, you will need to transfer them to your MOTIF XS using the 

network file-sharing function or a USB flash-memory device. Following the steps outlined below, you can 

then use these display templates to customize the appearance of MOTIF XS displays.
