As you use the MOTIF ES, you’ll create many different kinds of data, including Voices, Performances, Songs, and Patterns. This
section describes how to maintain the various types of data and use the memory devices/media for storing them.
Maintaining data
You can maintain the data you’ve created via the following three methods.
● Store
This is a process of transferring or saving the created data of this synthesizer to a dedicated location (User Memory) in the
internal memory. Each type of data can be stored with the following operations.
* Please note that pressing the [STORE] in the Utility mode starts the Store operation of the System settings immediately.
Since Song Mixing, Pattern Mixing, and Mixing Voice data is stored to DRAM (page 187), all such data is lost when turning off the power — even if the data
has been stored with the operations above. Make sure to save this data to the SmartMedia/USB storage device in the File mode after storing.
Never attempt to turn off the power while data (e.g., Voice) is being written to Flash ROM (while an “Executing...” or “Please keep power on” message is
shown). Turning the power off in this state may cause the system to freeze (due to corruption of data in the Flash ROM) and prevent normal startup the next
time the power is turned on, as well as resulting in the loss of all user data.
This is a process of transferring or saving the created data of this synthesizer to an external memory device (SmartMedia/USB storage device).
This process can be done in the File mode. The Save operation can be done via various methods, such as saving all data as a single file or
saving a specified type of data (e.g., only Voices) as a single file. For details, see Memory Structure (page 186) and Reference (page 188). The
saved data as files can be recalled by loading them in the File mode.
● Bulk Dump
This function lets you save the data in the Edit buffer (DRAM) or Flash ROM by transmitting it as Bulk data (system exclusive message) to an
external MIDI instrument or sequence software on a computer. This can be done with the following operations.
nMixing Voice data cannot be transmitted as Bulk data via panel operations.
nUser Arpeggio data and some of the System settings are not handled as Bulk data.
nThe data in the User Memory of Flash ROM can be transmitted to an external MIDI instrument or computer upon reception of a bulk request message. For
details about the bulk request message and bulk dump format, see the separate Data List.
Voice and Plug-in Voice data can be transmitted to a computer for editing with the Voice Editor software (on the included CD-ROM). The edited
Voice data can then be transmitted back to the instrument in banks as bulk data. Similarly, Voice data created in the Voice Edit mode can be
sent to the computer in banks as bulk data.
Song Mixing and Pattern Mixing data can also be transmitted to a computer for editing, using the Multi Part Editor software (onthe included CD-
ROM). The edited Mixing data can then be transmitted back to the instrument as bulk data. Mixing data created in the Song Mixing Edit and
Pattern Mixing modes can also be sent to the computer in banks as bulk data.
