Hello. Is there a way to convert a Motif ES All Voice .W7V file to the Motif XF format? (I suspect ChickenSys may be able to do it, and that’s a program I prefer to look into at a later point.)

Here’s what I’ve got:
- Yamaha’s Motif XS Editor could read XS Editor files & I believe can make XS All Voice files.
- Melas Motif Waveform Editor could read XS All Voice files
- Yamaha’s Motif ES Editor doesn’t install on my current 10.12 Mac OS. (It goes to 10.6, according its accompanying ReadMe.)

Thanks,

ds

Hello. Is there a way to convert a Motif ES All Voice .W7V file to the Motif XF format? [...]

An ES .W7V “All Voice” file can be directly loaded to an XF - no conversion is required. Due to differences in the ROM Waveforms and Effects, the Voices may not sound the same as they do on an ES.

See Data Compatibility with the MOTIF ES6/MOTIF ES7/MOTIF ES8 on pages 236-237 of the XF Reference Manual for details.

Once the ES file is loaded, an XF file can be saved if that’s the goal.

If you’re looking for the ES Preset Voices, I previously loaded and saved them in XF format. Scroll down in this thread:

Well, that was easy. Thank you.

Well, that was easy. Thank you.

You’re welcome. I aim for easy, although sometimes getting the job done requires a bit more effort.
