Did you have samples installed before you did the OS update?
Do this:
Answers to the above questions will help to determine what to do next.

Reinstalling 1.50 won’t help. |

Thank you for your reply 5pinDIN.
these are for FL1 (it says: “formatted") Waveform list is empty |

You’re welcome.
Â
Although you didn’t answer my first question ("Did you have samples installed before you did the OS update?"), it’s obvious from the “Free size” that there are samples on FL1. I presume that at least one sample library was loaded at some time. Without a backup “All” file, the Waveform List can’t be properly restored. Since you were satisfied after doing a factory reset, it seems that the samples on FL1 aren’t important to you. If that’s true, then you could just reformat FL1 and the “new flash memory module please load waveform data†should no longer appear. I suggest that you become familiar with the information in these two support articles: http://www.motifator.com/index.php/support/view/motif_xf_flash_memory_expansion_modules http://www.motifator.com/index.php/support/view/flash_board_session |

It’s unclear what you had when you first got the XF. Did you ever create a backup file, as suggested early on?…
Â
What do you mean by “native”? A factory reset restores access to everything that’s in the XF’s ROM. Which XF sample libraries do you have, if any? In the thread I linked to above, you mention having the 10th Anniversary Pack, so you should at least have its contents available.
I listed some other libraries available for the XF in this thread:
Please read the two flash support articles I previously linked to before installing any libraries, and make backups, or you will likely have problems. |

Since you haven’t answered my question, I take it that you have never made any backup files. Unfortunately, the contents of FL1 can’t be accessed without restoring the Waveform List, and that requires loading the non-existent backup.
It also appears that you don’t have the complete 10th Anniversary Pack, which (in the US) included the following:
I don’t know what files are on the flash drive. Obviously, those are the ones you could load, as well as the ones I linked to before. As I suggested previously, you could reformat FL1 and reload libraries you’re interested in. I can’t explain everything about flash module operation in this forum - please read the support articles, and ask specific questions. |

You were lucky to get a 1024MB (1GB) flash module instead of the 512MB one, so it’s not all bad. Â :-)
Here’s what Yamaha Europe had to say…
MOTIF 10th Anniversary Box
More than 730 MB of selected samples on a 4 GB Yamaha USB stick
If that’s what you have, then you can reload it. |
