I’ve tried everything way beyond what the File Editor software manual says. I have saved all user memory (voices, voice editor, sequences and waves to one folder in Windows XP. I was finally successful in transmitting my voices 1 and 2 files, with their voice editor files, back to my Motif, but I can’t transmit my samples from my computer to my synth. Seems to me like it would be the same proceedure.
Also, I use a gold-plated USB cable to connect the two, but is it normal for the transmition rate from my synth to the computer to be about 2.5 kbps? I have about 35 files (with about a total of 15 Mb of samples), and it takes 6 hours to transmit to my computer!
I use the free, uncomplicated Krystal mixing software. I like to keep things simple.
Thank you for your input.

This is the mo6/8 forum, you might get more info from the motif forum.

The original Motif can’t send wav files (samples) through USB. It’s USB 1 and is much slower than the newer USB2 standard. You can get the wav files into the Motif through the SCSI port or on a SmartMedia card. Check the manual for more information (if you haven’t got a manual you can download a .pdf one, possibly here at Motifator or otherwise on the yamahasynth.com site). And you’ll want to post future qiestions in the “Motif Classic” section (the MO6 and MO8 are newer keyboards).

Sorry people. Got the wrong forum. If I had just looked a little farther down the list.
Thanks for your help.
