I’m wondering if it’s possible to transfer settings from an ES8 to a ES rack.  If so, are there limitations to what will transfer?  I’m mostly interested in syncing up the user banks/any editing I’ve done to voices in the ES8.  Also, how does one go about doing this?

Thanks for your help.

As long as the Voices use the internal wave ROM, they can be transferred to the Motif-Rack ES. You would accomplish this using the STUDIO MANAGER and the Motif-Rack ES Editor (VOICE).

You can save your data from the Motif ES in VOICE EDITOR File format (*.w7e)
Press [FILE]
Press [F1] CONFIG
Press [SF1] CURRENT
Select your USB drive
Press [F2] SAVE
Set the TYPE = VOICE EDITOR
This will save all the USER Voices in your ES to a FILE that can be opened by the Motif-Rack ES Editor.

Thank you very much.

Does this mean that any patches for the rack version of the ES sound generator must be stored in a computer or is there an internal memory?

No, the ES Rack has it’s own memory. It can store 384 user voices.

Thanks Derek,

So, I understand now that the Motif ES rack can be updated internally, I was a bit worried if I ran into serious issues, but on a side note and I will open a new thread if necessary, exactly what is it referring to in OPT, where it says something about a limitation with Bulk Dumps?

Thanks for your time.
