Hi, I just picked up the awesome Motif XF8. It has the Sweetwater sound boards but there was no USB drive with the patches. Does anyone have the patches they can send me? I’m sure it’s worth a little something! It has a box that says 10th anniversary edition Thanks!!! |

Congrats on getting a Motif XF8.

There are no “Sweetwater sound boards”, although any flash modules might have waveforms originating from Sweetwater stored on them.
Yamaha had a 10th Anniversary Special Pack which included the following in the US:
Sweetwater did have a special 10th Anniversary deal where the FL512M was replaced with a FL1024M (1 GB), and the USB drive had a 570MB sound library named “Sweetwater_Motif10thALL.X3A”.

Let’s determine what you currently have…

What’s in the box? Are there any of the items I listed above? |

Thanks for helping me out!
The User 3 & 4 programs look stock or custom. 3 A1 starts with Rock Grand
FL1- Uses 1022M Total; 445M Fee
The unit has the 10th anniversary box, has the Gen 16 Zildjan Cymbal pack, no video or flash drive. Which one do you think it is? Sounds like its the Sweetwater unit. Any help greatly appreciated! |

No Problem.

Yes, likely the Sweetwater Pack.
1022MB - 445MB = 577MB
Let us know the names of the first 10 and last 10 Waveforms in the Waveform List for FL1. I’ll check that against what the Sweetwater file loads. If they match, it might be possible to just load the Sweetwater file without samples. |

Interesting. I did some further research. Loading just the Sweetwater file to a formatted FL1024M module results in:
There are 133 Waveforms - the first 10 agree with what you posted. The last ones also agree by name, but not by number - instead of 522-532 (which is 11 of them, but who’s counting? :-) ), they’re 123-133. Apparently you’ve got some additional Waveforms on your flash module. I wonder if you have some duplicates. Which Waveforms are at 123-133 on yours? Any chance they’re the same as the last 11? Depending on your reply, I may be able to help. Whatever you do, don’t remove or add any samples to the flash module at this point, and don’t load any files. If you can, save an “All” file with samples to a USB flash drive. EDIT: See attachment for Waveform List. File Attachments

It looks like the waveforms start over at 134. Double loaded maybe. Here is what I have at 123 - 133

The Waveforms (not the samples) have apparently been loaded four times. I’m basing that on your Waveform List showing 532, which is 133 times 4. It will take some tedious work to resolve it, but it can be done. Rather than bore everyone else, I can help you if you send me a PM (Private Message) with your email address. |
