While I was able to successfully update my Motif XF6 to version 1.30, I committed a (probably) classic error. Thinking in terms of the sounds having come loaded from the factory, I failed to make the elementary connection that the new sounds were in the USER BANK and would be wiped during the update, and so failed to do a save. I, therefore, now have a freshly updated Motif with no S6, etc. 
I thought that the factory disc might have a factory patch file on it, but no luck, and there doesn’t appear to be one here. So, any suggestions on where to go to get a file of the factory programs for the USER BANKS? Thanks.

You can restore the Factory Set by pressing [UTILITY] > [JOB] > [ENTER] > [YES]

Thanks so much for the quick reply. The restore worked great! I was sad to have to sell my original Motif in 2003, and was unable to replace it for awhile due to a move, family issues, and Hurricane Katrina, but it’s great to be back in the Motifator family, especially with the support that you, and others, have so generously provided. Thanks again.

Don’t feel bad, I would have done that the first night I had my XF.  For some odd reason I actually tested saving all data before doing the upgrade.  More to test the newly formated USB drive than anything else, thinking that I had not acutally modified any voices so I don’t really need to back them up.  Man was I shocked to see it had wiped them out.  The backup saved my bacon as I didn’t know the above trick either.  Scary feeling though.

Ahhh thank you haha :) I was misreading the instructions when I did the update here, I thought I just needed to backup my songs or user voices, of which I have none that I cared that much about yet.  When all my performance modes were gone I had to pour another glass of wine before looking for the answer. ;)
