Check out these very handy editors for the XF. I’ve used them with the XS, and ES and always am pleased with the ease of use! CM |

Hi CM! Being a newb with the Motif Family line, and awaiting the arrival of my very own, can you please explain what these “editors” are for, and how are they useful? =D Thanks!!! |

Yamaha provides two free software editors for all Motif models, a Voice Editor and a Multi Editor. John added features not present in the Yamaha editors and then created editors for Performances and Masters as well. They are integrated so you can easily move data between them. Motifs are fully programmable without any editors (except the XS Rack) but editors make it easy to back up your sounds and create new user banks. |

Bought the full bundle (with Waveform Editor) last night - can’t wait to dive in. I bought several sound banks that I plan on cherry picking / merging with some of the free XSpand Your World content. The demos proved how easy this was to do… I was sold in about 15 minutes of fooling around with them. Good luck on the release John! |

If I understand right, the upgrade to XF version is free for the owners of the XS version? |

I have used Johns editors on my 2 XS and just bought it for the XF when it came out. I have used the Yamaha stuff, but JMs stuff is FAR easier to use. He is also vey responsive via email if you need help. Kudos to him. |

For blind Motif owners, Johns are the only editors that work with our screen readers. The Yamaha stuff is too graphical, and uses non-standard Windows controls. I’m really glad that he continues to update these! |

Go to the Support tab at the top of this page, pick your model and then pick Downloads to find links for the editors. |

That’s great news VikasSharma. Do you happen have an update link and/or the update procedure? I am sure John Melas will send it out to me shortly, but I am being impatient! |

Just download the software from the following webpage and install it all over again. There’s no need to uninstall the previous version. |

Hello I want to test out this software and then I will buy, But for this I think needs Motif/XF version 2.0.0 ? If yes then please tell me where I can download, thanks. Now I have Motif/XF version 1.12.0
Best Regards,
