Data compatibility with the MOTIF XS and MOTIF ES
The MOTIF XF is fully compatible with the MOTIF XS. All file types can be loaded. There‘s only one limitation for files that contain more than 128 MB of samples. These can only be loaded into the optional Flash Memory, because the internal SDRAM is limited to 128 MB.
From the data produced on a MOTIF ES Voices, Waveforms and Sample Voices can be loaded. These file types can be used to load MOTIF ES data into the MOTIF XF:
• “ALL†(all data of the MOTIF ES, .W7A)
• “ALL VOICE†(all User Voice Banks of the MOTIF ES, .W7V)
• “1 BANK VOICE†(single User Voice Banks from “ALL†or “ALL VOICE†files)
• “VOICE†(single Voices from “ALL†or “ALL VOICE†files)
• “PERFORMANCE†(single Performances from “ALL†or “ALL VOICE†files)
• “ALL ARPEGGIO†(User Arpeggios of the MOTIF ES)
• “ALL SONG†(All Song file of the MOTIF ES, .W7S)
• “SONG†(single Songs from an All or All Song file of the MOTIF ES)
• “ALL PATTERN†(All Patterns file of the MOTIF ES, .W7P)
• “PATTERN†(single Patterns from an All or All Pattern file of the MOTIF ES)
• “ALL WAVEFORM†(all User Waveforms and Samples of the MOTIF ES, .W7W)
• “WAVFORM†(single User Waveforms including their Samples, .W7A, .W7W)
• “SAMPLE VOICE†(single Sample Voices, .W7A, .W7S, .W7P)
• “EDITOR†(Voice Editor files, .W7E)
Concerning the MOTIF ES you cannot assume a full sound compatibility for all loadable data. In particular the following restrictions apply:
• The Wave ROMs of MOTIF ES and MOTIF XF are different. Many of the MOTIF ES Waveforms were replaced, resulting in a different sound, which however should be regarded as superior
• The Preset Voice Banks of the MOTIF ES differ from those of the MOTIF XF. That‘s why the sound mappings in the Performances, Songs, and Patterns are not consistent, unless only User Voices or Mix Voices have been used
• Some of the Effect Types of the MOTIF XF are significantly different from those of the MOTIF ES
