Hi, The following description is from the Readme file that comes with the final v1.90 update, which you can also find in the Motif Downloads section of this website (click “Home” and then the “Motif” menu tab): 1. After downloading, copy the uncompressed [0638OS_.PGM] file to a Smart Media card that has been formatted on the MOTIF. No other files should be present on the Smart Media card. 2. Turn off the MOTIF power. 3. Insert the Smart Media card into the MOTIF and turn on the power on the MOTIF while pressing the [REC] and [STORE] buttons.
4. The MOTIF OS updater will start.
NOTE: It will take approximately 2 minutes for the updater to finish.

Thanks a lot, too bad that the google trick hasnt worked on a search for yamaha motif os update. But i guess after you answered my question a search with this keywords will at least have a result on the forum search here. Dont know why you need to add v1.7 to get results. |
