MOTIF XS Owner’s Manual

Appendix

Data communication via MIDI/USB/mLAN between the computer and the MOTIF XS does not work properly.

Check whether the Port settings on the computer are appropriate or not.

Check whether or not the MIDI IN/OUT parameter is set to the appropriate value.

The MOTIF XS does not sound properly even when playing back the Song data on the computer or the
MIDI instrument connected to the MOTIF XS.

Make sure to set the MOTIF XS to the Song mode or Pattern mode. The Voice mode or Performance mode may not produce the
proper sound even when playing back the Song data on the MIDI instrument or the computer connected to the MOTIF XS.

Network connection does not work.

If you’ve forgotten password for accessing the MOTIF XS, execute the Factory Set then set the password again.

When the DHCP server is connected to the network and the DHCP Client parameter is set to “on,” you need not set the IP
address because it is automatically set. When the DHCP server is not connected to the network and you wish to set a specifi c IP
address, set the DHCP Client parameter to “off,” then set the IP address manually.

If the network settings do not become active even if you set the related parameters, make sure to press the [ENTER] button after
setting. Then, you will need to press the [STORE] button to store the settings. If you do not store the network settings, these will
be erased after you turn off the power.

The characters of a file or directory may be garbled when loading the file from the computer drive to the MOTIF XS. If such a
problem occurs, replace the garbled character with the correct one on the MOTIF XS display. Keep in mind that 2-byte character
codes such as Kanji and Kana cannot be shown on the display of the MOTIF XS.

When “Password is unspecified.” appears after setting the File Server parameter to “on,” make sure to set the Password before
setting the File Server parameter to “on.” This is because the Security parameter has been set to “workgroup” and the Account
and Password are necessary when the files are shared.

MIDI bulk data transmission/reception does not work properly.

Is the Receive Bulk parameter set to off?
Set the Receive Bulk parameter to on.

When receiving the MIDI bulk data transmitted via the Bulk Dump function and recorded to the external MIDI device, you need to
set the MIDI Device Number to the same value as when transmitting.

When transmission does not work properly, is the device number of the MIDI instrument connected to the MOTIF XS set to match
the Device Number Parameter in the Utility mode?

Cannot save data to the external USB storage device.

Is the USB storage device being used write protected? (Write-protect should be set to off for saving data.)

Is the USB storage device being used properly formatted?
Press the [FILE] button to enter the File mode, then set the device to the USB storage device. Check the amount of currently
available (unused) memory of the USB storage device indicated at the right top of the display.

Is the USB storage device guaranteed by Yamaha?
