MOTIF-RACK XS Editor Window

Refer to page 37.

Determines the mode of the MOTIF-RACK XS, Voice or Multi. As soon as “Voice” or “Multi” is selected

here, the mode of the MOTIF-RACK XS instrument changes accordingly and the Auto Sync window

(page 52) opens. After setting parameters as necessary on this window, click [Start] to execute data

synchronization between the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor and the MOTIF-RACK XS instrument.

Clicking this switches the status of the Editor between “ONLINE” and “OFFLINE.” When “ONLINE” is

indicated, the edited status is completely synchronized between the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor and the

MOTIF-RACK XS instrument, meaning that any parameter edit you make on the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor

is reﬂected in the same parameter on the MOTIF-RACK XS instrument and vice versa. When OFFLINE is

selected, editing on the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor will not affect the MOTIF-RACK XS instrument and vice

versa even if the MOTIF-RACK XS instrument is connected to a computer.

Note that the indication here is automatically changed according to the status of communication

between the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor and the MOTIF-RACK XS instrument. For example, the ONLINE

status changes automatically to OFFLINE when the cable is disconnected accidentally.

Indicates that the current status is set to ONLINE. Clicking this calls up OFFLINE (2) described below.

Keep in mind that the ONLINE indication cannot be enabled when the MIDI Port is not set properly or the

MOTIF-RACK XS instrument is not properly connected to a computer.

This OFFLINE indication shows that the MIDI Port is set properly and the MOTIF-RACK XS is properly

connected to a computer. Clicking this calls up the Auto Sync window. From the Auto Sync window, you

can synchronize the settings between the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor and the MOTIF-RACK XS by clicking the

[Start] button. As soon as data synchronization is completed, the Auto Sync window is closed and the

status of the Editor changes from OFFLINE to ONLINE.

nWhen the Global, Current and Voice settings are set to “Off” and Auto Start is set to “On” in the Auto Sync

window, clicking here changes the Editor status from OFFLINE to ONLINE without opening the Auto Sync

window.

This OFFLINE indication shows that the MIDI Port is not set properly or the MOTIF-RACK XS instrument is

not connected to a computer properly. Clicking this calls up the Auto Sync window. After making sure to

connect the MOTIF-RACK XS instrument to a computer, set the MIDI Port properly then click the [Start]

button in the Auto Sync window to execute data synchronization between the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor and

the MOTIF-RACK XS instrument. As soon as data synchronization is completed, the Auto Sync window is

closed and the status of the Editor is changed from OFFLINE to ONLINE.
