nAlthough not indicated in the illustration above, the MOTIF actually receives and responds to MIDI data from the computer application (sequencer), regardless of the Local Sw setting on the MOTIF.

*MIDI “Echo” is a function on sequencers that takes any data received via the MIDI IN and “echoes” it (or sends it as is) through the MIDI OUT. In some software, this function is also called “MIDI Thru.”

nRefer to the owner's manual of your particular software for specific instructions.

Reference (page 262)

This SCSI-2 50-pin connector (D-sub, half-pitch) can be used to connect to an external SCSI data storage device — allowing you to conveniently save and store large quantities of data. For details about SCSI and connecting SCSI devices, see page 64.

◆MOTIF-compatible SCSI devices/disks

•Only DOS-format disks can be used by the MOTIF for saving data. Disks formatted by the MOTIF are formatted using DOS format.

•Disks formatted to DOS format by a personal computer can be used with the MOTIF. However, for best results, we recommend using disks formatted by the MOTIF.

•When formatted using the MOTIF, disks with a capacity of less than 2GB are formatted using FAT16 format, and larger disks are formatted using FAT32 format.

•MO disks which can be used with the MOTIF include capacities of 128 MB, 230 MB, and 540 MB. MO disks with a capacity of 640 MB and above cannot be used.

•The MOTIF can use removable media of capacities of up to 2 GB. Even if larger drives are connected, the MOTIF can only use a maximum of 2 GB. Furthermore, all removable media are formatted using the FAT16 format, and partitioning is not possible.

•When a 31 GB disk is formatted, four 7.75 GB partitions will be created automatically.
