There is no single way to use the many components in the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor. Your editing needs and

preferences may differ; however, the following example gives you a simple step-by-step guide in how to use

the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor. As an example, this section explains how to edit a Voice in the Voice mode, edit

a Mixing program in the Multi mode, then store the edited data to the memory of the MOTIF-RACK XS

instrument and save the ﬁnal results of your editing to a ﬁle.

boxes of Global, Current and Voice in the Auto Sync Setting to on so that the data ﬂows from the

Global, Current and Voice to the opposite, so that the arrow indicates data ﬂow from the computer to the

keyboard. For details, see page 40.

CAUTION

Keep in mind that when you set Global, Current and User Voice to On, enable data sync from the computer to the MOTIF-

RACK XS (instrument), and then click the [Start] button at the bottom, this operation transmits these types of data currently

on the Editor to the MOTIF-RACK XS itself, automatically overwriting and erasing all the corresponding data already existing

on memory of the MOTIF-RACK XS instrument. When you want to use the settings on the MOTIF-RACK XS itself as starting

data for editing, set the boxes of Global, Current and Voice in the Auto Sync Setting to on so that the data ﬂows from the

instrument to the computer.
