What is the difference between a n2.X3A and a n3.X3A file ? For example as you see in the attached photo, I have a a file named Puente Negro that was originally created on the Motif XS, with termination XOA, but then when I brought it to the XF it created two different file,n2 and n3 X3A which I don’t recall creating two files on the XF.

Should I work with n2 or n3 ?

From This Article:

“...If “FL1 without sample” or “FL2 without sample” is selected, the Waveform data is saved without the Samples. This option allows you to store the contents of the SDRAM independently from the contents of the Flash Memory.

• .n1 = FL1 without sample
• .n2 = FL2 without sample
• .n3 = FL1 + FL2 without sample....”

You apparently loaded the 36 MB PuenteNegro.X0A file, then saved it twice, once without sample for FL2 and once without sample for FL1 or FL2, each 1.7 MB in size (which confirms that there are no samples).

Did you save the samples separately?

Since a Motif XS has only SDRAM memory for samples (no flash modules), by default they load to USR memory in the XF. Of course, you could redirect them to FL1 or FL2 if you want the samples from the original file to be available there.

Possibly neither, depending on the status of the samples the original file contained.

Yes I did, and I guess it was when I was having all that confusion(still do hahaha) with the samples.

What Happened is that I deleted all the waveforms from the FL1 (don’t have a FL2) because when loading FL1 in the Puente Negro project the waveforms went from been three all the way to more than seven hundred. The funny thing is that with another project called Soda Stereo (also shown on screen), I don’t have waveforms but it does load a Steinway Piano that I bought, but because I deleted the waveforms on the Puente Negro Project or more likely the FL1, that same piano is gone from that project. It’s a weird machine, or maybe it’s a weird user. It exists in one All File but does not exist in the other.
