Setting Up

■Using an IEEE1394 interface (when an optional mLAN8E has been installed)

■Using a MIDI interface

●Using the computer’s MIDI interface

●Using an external MIDI interface

nPlease use the appropriate MIDI interface for your computer.

nIf you are using a computer that has a USB interface, make sure to connect the computer and the MOTIF by USB. (The data

transfer rate is faster than MIDI and you’ll have access to multiple MIDI ports.)

Local On/Off - When Connected to a Computer

When connecting the MOTIF to a computer, the keyboard performance data is generally sent to the computer, and

then returned from the computer to play the tone generator or sound source. If the Local Switch is set to “on,” a

“double” sound may result, since the tone generator is receiving performance data from both the keyboard directly and

the computer. Use the setting suggestions below as a guideline; speciﬁc instructions may differ depending on your

computer and the software used.

When MIDI “Echo” is enabled on the software/computer, set the MOTIF Local Switch to “off.”

nWhen transmitting or receiving System Exclusive data (such as with the Bulk Dump function), use the setting example

below, making sure that MIDI “Echo” on the computer software is set to “off.”
