Saving/Loading data

Basic Structure (page 63) · Reference (page 266)

Many different types of data are created when using the MOTIF, and the following types are automatically maintained in memory, even if the power is turned off: Voice, Performance, Master, Arpeggio and System settings (parameters set in the Utility mode). Since the other data (e.g., wave data recorded via the Sampling function, Song, Pattern) is lost when turning the power off, you should save it to a memory card or SCSI device connected to the MOTIF. Data created on the MOTIF can be saved to Memory card or SCSI device in a variety of file types. By selecting “All” as the file type to be saved, all your original MOTIF data can be saved to Memory card/SCSI device. However, when loading this “All” data back to the MOTIF, you can choose a specific data type to be loaded (e.g., one voice or one song), as illustrated below.

Saving data

nBefore you can use a new Memory card or external SCSI device with the MOTIF, you’ll have to format it from the MOTIF. See page 265 for details.
