Greetings all. I’ve inherited my wife’s classic Motif 6. I’m looking to Upgrade it to its maximum potential. Can I use a SD card like the 64gb Sandisk cards or other like that on the market? I’ve seen SD cards and RAM chips on Ebay for the Motif original. 128 MEG SMART MEDIA SM MEMORY CARD? That’s for the SD memory? Can I use more? Here says…
So 64mb RAM in SIMMs is all I can get? I’m just looking for more memory than what the factory originally recommended. |

Hello and welcome (back?) You definitely won’t be able to increase the sample memory beyond the quoted maximum capacity. Not sure what current availability is either of SmartMedia memory cards (for program data as opposed to samples) or sample memory but we’ll give you an up-to-date answer on Monday. While the original Motif remains a splendid instrument it is now 15 years old so accessories are going to be a little hard to find. Just being realistic! But, nonetheless, welcome! |

Don’t get confused...SD is a card type, Smart Media (SM) is a different card type. The Motif only accepts SM cards. There are inexpensive adapters that let you use (also obsolete) xD cards in the SM slot. Keep in mind that the Motif was introduced over 15 years ago, 64MB of RAM was a lot back in those days. |

I’m also taking my Motif 6 out of retirement, are there any free sounds available for it? Thanks |

There are some free banks that used to be available here at motifator.com some years ago, but no longer. I have them on a hard drive at home, PM me. |
