What is the MOTIF XS Editor VST?
MOTIF XS Editor VST is a convenient tool which lets you edit and save the various parameters of your MOTIF
XS tone generator. These include Voice and Mixing parameters (edited in the Voice or Mixing mode of the
MOTIF XS) such as Volume, Pan, EG, and Cutoff and other settings. Thanks to its easy-to-understand
graphical interface, you can edit various parameters of the MOTIF XS 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 XS
instrument.
The MOTIF XS Editor VST, based on the “VST3 technology” by Steinberg, works as a VST3 plug-in with
Cubase series 4.5 or later (DAW application). The MOTIF XS Editor VST also works as the same way as other
VST instrument software, allowing you to save the edited settings of the MOTIF XS, or use them for another
project. In addition, you can handle the MOTIF XS Voices in the Media Bay window in Cubase when using
the MOTIF XS Editor VST with Cubase 4.5 or later, allowing you to search for, listen, and play the MOTIF XS
Voices within Media Bay in Cubase. The MOTIF XS Editor VST provides a comprehensive and seamless
music production environment—making the use of hardware and software both easier and much more
efficient.
Data Structure of the MOTIF XS Editor VST
MOTIF XS Editor VST Owner’s Manual

Data Structure of the MOTIF XS Editor VST
The MOTIF XS Editor VST lets you create the following data and save them as a single file (extension: X0E).
• Current Global data (latest status of edited global parameters)
• Current data in the Voice mode (latest status of edited Voice)
• Current data in the Song/Pattern mode (consisting of Mixing setup, latest status of edited Voice and 16 Mixing Voices)
• User Voice data (consisting of three Normal Voice Banks and one Drum Voice Bank)
Current settings includes the latest settings of the Common and Element parameters for the Voice last assigned to
each of Parts 1 – 16, as well as Mixing parameter settings such as Voice assignment, pan, volume and effect for
each Part. Among the Voice Banks, only the Mixing Voice Bank data belongs to the Current settings. The MOTIF
XS Editor VST lets you edit parameters (including Element parameters) of the Voice assigned to each Part and
save the latest edit status as a file without storing it as a User Voice or a Mixing Voice. This means that you can
easily recall the latest status of the previous edit simply by opening the file.
n The MOTIF XS Editor VST handles the Global data which includes some of the parameters shown on the “G” row in the
Mixer section and all the parameters in the Global Settings of the Parameter Category section (pages 21 and 24).
The diagram illustrated below indicates the structure of the data created via the MOTIF XS Editor VST, the
structure of the data stored in the internal memory of the MOTIF XS instrument and the relationship between
those two types of data.
*1 When the MOTIF XS instrument is connected to the computer properly with the ONLINE status, editing a parameter on the MOTIF XS Editor VST affects the same parameter on the
MOTIF XS itself, and vice versa.
*2 The Store Voice operation on the Editor will store the Voice data to the memory of the MOTIF XS instrument as well as the memory of the Editor.
*3 The Store Global operation and Store Mixing operation will store the data only to the memory of the MOTIF XS instrument.

An Example of MOTIF XS Editor VST in Use
There is no single way to use the many components in the MOTIF XS Editor VST. 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 XS Editor VST. As an example, this section explains how to edit a Voice in the Voice mode, edit a
Mixing program in the Song mode, then store the edited data to the memory of the MOTIF XS instrument and
save the final results of your editing to a file.
n If the [Song] or [Pattern] indication (at the top left of the display) is on, perform the instructions below from step 1. If the
[Voice] indication is on, perform the instructions below from step 2.
1. Change the mode to the Voice mode by clicking the [Voice] indication (at the top left
of the display).
If the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] indication is set to [ONLINE] before changing the mode, the Auto Sync
window will be called up automatically when this step is executed. As step 2 is thus unnecessary, you
should proceed to step 3.
2. Click the [OFFLINE] to call up the Auto Sync window if the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE]
indication is set to [OFFLINE].
3. On the Auto Sync window, set communication-related parameters such as Input Port,
Output Port and Device Number in the Data Port section, then set the direction of Data
Auto Synchronization (Global, Current and Voice) in the Auto Sync Setting section.
When you want to use the settings on the MOTIF 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. To use the settings on the MOTIF XS Editor VST as starting data, set both 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 Voice to On, enable data sync from the computer to the MOTIF 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 XS itself, automatically overwriting and erasing all the corresponding data already existing on memory of
the MOTIF XS instrument. When you want to use the settings on the MOTIF 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.
CAUTION
Make sure to set the desired data transfer direction in order to avoid data loss.

4. From the Auto Sync window, click [Start] at the bottom.
The data synchronization will be started if the Port settings are correct. As soon as data synchronization
is completed, the Auto Sync window is closed, then the OFFLINE indication is changed to ONLINE
indication automatically. In this ONLINE status, editing a parameter on the MOTIF XS Editor VST affects
the same parameter on the MOTIF XS itself, and vice versa.
5. Edit the Voice in the Voice mode.
5-1 On the “V” row of the Voice section, click the Bank name or Voice name to call up the
VOICE LIBRARY window.
