■
Cannot control Cubase from the MOTIF
XS panel
• Make sure that the MOTIF XS is properly connected to the
computer via an IEEE1394 cable.
• Confirm the version of Cubase installed to your computer.
Versions older than 4 such as Cubase SX3 does not support
the Remote Control function of the MOTIF XS .
• Confirm whether or not “Yamaha MOTIF XS” is registered
as a Remote Device and “MOTIF XS Remote” has been
selected as the MIDI In/Out Port from the Device Setup win-
dow called via [Devices]
→
[Device Setup].
(Only for Macintosh users)
• When an external MIDI device is added to the device
“mLAN Network” in the Audio MIDI Setup window (called
up by selecting [Application]
→
[Utilities]), the MIDI input/
output port for the remote device may not be set automati-
cally in Cubase. In this case, remove all the external devices
in the Audio MIDI Setup window, or manually set the MIDI
input/output port for the remote device to the appropriate one
in the Device Setup window in Cubase.
■
Cannot find the Project Templates
• Confirm whether or not Extensions for Steinberg DAW has

ing Cubase, the Project Template files will be installed to the

■
Cannot import a MOTIF XS song
• Make sure to use Cubase of version 4.0.2 or higher.
• If you cannot select a song from the “Import Options” dialog
box or you find the imported song does not have any data,
the file of “All” type may be saved without storing the
recorded song on the MOTIF XS. Make sure to store the
recorded song on the MOTIF XS before performing the Save
operation.
How the MOTIF XS song is to be imported
About the imported file and project
• Keep in mind that only the “All” type (file extension: X0A) can be
imported to a Cubase project.
• 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 XS 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 XS 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
XS 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 XS 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 XS song will be imported to a
project as the Audio track.
• The Mixing setup will not be imported, resulting that all the Vol-
ume 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 Sam-
ple Voice used by the MOTIF XS 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 XS 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 XS, use the MOTIF XS Editor within Cubase.
Start Studio Manager, followed by the MOTIF XS Editor within
Cubase. Next, open the “All” type file (extension: .X0A), 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 Arpeg-
gio data.
• Song data imported to a Project cannot be exported back to the
MOTIF XS.
