Converting VOICE/MIDI/SAMPLE Data from MOTIF to MOTIF ES

Voices loaded into the Motif ES 6/7/8 may not produce the exact same sound as in the Motif 6/7/8 since the content of the preset Waveforms and the Effects structure are different between the two instruments. The Motif ES uses a very sophisticated “look-up” table and finds the waveform or an appropriate substitution waveform for each original Motif Voice. Even though waveform numbering is quite different in the Motif ES you can be assured that an appropriate substitution is made.

The Motif ES is a new synthesizer. User Voices, user samples, and Song and Pattern data converted to SMFs can be ported over to the ES from the original Motif. This article will take you through what is necessary in terms of preparing your data. Get a new SmartMedia card that you will use for the storing this data. And be as thorough and as organized as you can. User Voice data, user sample data and the MIDI data used in Patterns and Songs (saved as SMF) can be ported over to the Motif ES.
