Special Notices

MOTIF XF Editor VST Installation Guide 3

MOTIF XF Editor VST is a convenient tool which lets you edit and save the various parameters of your MOTIF XF6/

7/8 synthesizer. These include Common/Part Mixing parameters (edited in the Song or Pattern mode of the MOTIF

XF6/7/8) such as Volume, Pan, EG, and Cutoff, as well as parameters of a Voices assigned to each Part (edited in

the Voice mode of the MOTIF XF6/7/8). Thanks to the easy-to-understand graphical interface, you can edit various

parameters of the MOTIF XF6/7/8 right from your computer—using the mouse to adjust the virtual knobs, sliders,

and buttons and entering values from the computer keyboard. Finally, all the changes you have made can be

saved to your computer or transmitted to the MOTIF XF6/7/8 instrument.

The MOTIF XF Editor VST, based on the “VST3 technology” by Steinberg, works as a VST3 plug-in with Cubase5/

Cubase Studio5/Cubase Essential 5/Cubase AI5 or later (Cubase series). The MOTIF XF Editor VST also works as

the same way as other VST instrument software, allowing you to save the edited settings of the MOTIF XF6/7/8, or

use them for another project. In addition, you can handle the MOTIF XF6/7/8 Voices in the Media Bay window in

Cubase when using the MOTIF XF Editor VST with Cubase, allowing you to search for, listen, and play the MOTIF

XF6/7/8 Voices within Media Bay in Cubase series. The MOTIF XF Editor VST provides a comprehensive and

seamless music production environment – making the use of hardware and software both easier and much more

efficient.

The actual installation steps and the use of the software itself differs depending on the operating system that you

are using. Please refer to the appropriate installation instructions.

1 Verify that your system (Cubase series) meets the operating requirements of each software

program.

Precautions when using the USB TO HOST connector

When connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST connector, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so

risks freezing the computer and corrupting or even losing the data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, turn the power

to the instrument off or restart the computer.

• Before connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST connector, exit from any power-saving mode (such

as suspended, sleep, standby) of the computer.

• Before turning on the power to the instrument, connect the computer to the USB TO HOST connector.

• Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument on/off or plugging/unplugging the USB

cable to/from the USB TO HOST connector.

- Quit any open applications.

- Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing

notes on the keyboard or playing back a song.)

• While a USB device is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or more between these

operations: (1) when turning the power of the instrument off then on again, or (2) when alternately

connecting/disconnecting the USB cable.
