Have .wav file that I put on USB from Itunes.

When I press “FILE” the .wav file is only recognized as WAVEFORM and is not recognized by ALL

I initialized a voice patch, (PRE 1)
then went to Edit to make sure Element SW is “on”. and WaveBank is set to PRE

Then went to FILE and highlighted my .WAV file.
The “TYPE” box is on Waveform
THe initialized USR patch is selected
THe Key location is entered ( C 3)
and the name of the .WAV file is seen just below this

Then pressed EXEC (SF1) and it indicates loading.

However the initialized voice patch returns to factory and .wav file is not there.

Any Advice?
Do I need to do anything to the .wav file from Itunes for it to recognized by “ALL” type? instead of just “WAVEFORM” type?

Thanks

An “All” (.W6A) file can contain a Waveform, but it’s a lot more than that. A .WAV file is not the same as an “All” file, and it won’t be displayed when the Type is set to “All”.

See page 157 of the MOXF Reference Manual.

Are you looking for the User Voice in the location where you STORED it?
(A Voice can’t be stored to a Preset location.)

See http://www.motifator.com/index.php/forum/viewthread/469772/

(Thank you for your input!)

Following all the steps in User Guide page 284, I loaded the .wav file (which came from ITunes) from my USB to an initialized VOICE patch
and for the Destination I entered (USER1 004). and chose KEY C3

Once the loading is complete (and it does indicate that it is loading)
I go to USER 1 004 VOICE, but that patch reverts back to the factory VOICE and C3 is the old voice. My .wav file does not play.
I don’t know where else the loaded .wav file would wind up.

You asked

Well, I believe by entering the above info, I did look for it in the proper location. (The USER Voice patch that I chose.)
Can you think of where else it might have wound up?

One thing, though.....The user Manual refers to “Select ELEMENT (for a normal voice) or KEY (for drum voice.
I only see the KEY designation as a choice for the destination.
I can not find anything that gives me the choice to choose ELEMENT. (could that be an issue?)

Thanks again.....

Thanks again.....

I’d like to help you, but we seem to be going around in circles.
Let’s start from the beginning…
Based on your previous posts, it seems that you currently have a MOXF. However, there’s no page 284 in any of the manuals for that model. There is such a page in the Motif XS Owner’s Manual, and it’s relevant to loading a WAV file - to a Motif XS.

Exactly which model do you have?
Do you have the correct manuals for it?

Once we determine what you have, it will be easier to provide accurate information.

Sorry for the confusion.......
Yes I’m working with the MOXF6
and I mistakenly was looking at the Motif XS Owner’s Manual online, which came up when I did a search for .Wav file loading.
Interestingly, neither the MOXF Owner’s Manual or Reference Manual specifically explains how to load .wav files and play them (in a way that I can understand)

I’m almost sure the .wav file (5.6MB, 44.1 KHz sample rate)
is being loaded as a Waveform with the steps I took as described above.
(However, I was looking for the file to show up in the USER VOICE destination to access and play it.)

I believe I need to be explained how to find the Waveform in the one of the 2048 WAVEFORM slots and then convert(?) that to a User VOICE (or performance). 
Is that correct?

Thank you.
(Hope you had a good Christmas)

Thanks for clarifying the situation.

Based on what you said previously, it seems that you successfully loaded your WAV sample to the flash module as a User Waveform. Once it’s loaded, it can be treated like a Preset Waveform. The next step is indeed to be able to access it via a Voice.

To do so with a User Voice, you have to select your Waveform as the Oscillator in an Element. See the MOXF Reference Manual, pages 38-39, [F1]OSC > [SF1]WAVE, Wave Bank, and WaveNumber. If you select “user” for the Wave Bank, and the correct WaveNumber, then STORE the choices, that should do the trick.

Also, see Bad_Mister‘s post in this thread:
http://www.motifator.com/index.php/forum/viewthread/469772/

Thank you once again.
The file was loaded all the time, but that process allow me to find it.
The only problem was the basic piano sound that appears when you initialize the voice was still playing.

It took me a while to figure out the piano was in one of the other elements, and simply turning off that element now allows me to play the.wav file all by itself.

ALSO for other readers. I did finally come accross a detailed diagrammatic lesson of loading a single .wav file to MOXF in Part 2 of the MOXF Flash Memory Guide

This will help you avoid a lot of work and frustration
