Are there ever any advantages to, or at least usable differences, for using oh lets’s say v1.3 or v1.4? Has anyone known of going back from v1.5 to one of those, and why?

I cannot think of a single benefit of back pedaling to an earlier OS, but I would be very disappointed at missing the features and enhancements each upgrade provided. I’d like this to dumping Windows 10 to go back to Windows 1.0 (I could be a bit melodramatic in my analogy) Welcome to the forum Wonderingl |

I know of no advantage(s) to using an earlier OS than v1.50. There are some disadvantages, however - loss of certain effects that were added in the newer OS, for example. See the MOTIF XF6/7/8 Supplementary Manual:
In addition, with v1.50, you can use this file with 32 Voices and 8 Performances that use the added effects in OS V1.50:
EDIT: richie1027 posted while I was typing. It seems we agree on v1.50 being a keeper. Â :-) |

I concur. ... While I’ve observed the value of using older OS’s on different platforms (computers, handhelds, other instruments), I’ve personally never experienced nor have read a single reason to not use Motif XF’s last OS. |

Hey thanks everyone.
I only go back to 2011 with Motif Xf which was v1.10 when purchased.
Just to clarify, this is no crisis. These songs where they are, is not the only place to hear them as most if not all were pro-mixed and mastered at another facility, then some were pressed others just digital released.
At any rate, thanks for being here… I like Motifator. |

I was wondering what prompted your question. :-) If an “All” was saved with samples, loading it in entirety at a later time should result in things sounding as they did when the file was saved. If a Song is based on Voices from the User banks, or User samples, then of course any changes made to those things after the Song was created, but before the “All” file was saved, could potentially affect how the Song sounds when that file is loaded at a later time. If you need reliable backups of Songs, besides saving files with samples, it’s a good idea to store any Voices used in the Song as Mixing Voices. That way, if a User Voice gets changed later, it can’t affect the Song. |
