Original MOTIF series, now called 'MOTIF Classic', were released in four variants in 2001:

The balanced hammer effect action is the same action found on Yamaha S90 series keyboards.

MOTIF Rack is a sound module (with no keyboard) that is controlled by external MIDI instruments. It can be expanded with two Modular Synthesis Plug-in boards^[1] but has no sampling capabilities.

MM[edit]

In January (2007), Yamaha introduced two 'retro' models; the MM6 (61 keys) and MM8 (88 keys), both based on the original 2001 Motif sound set and samples, with polyphony greatly reduced to fit the lower specifications. This synthesizer comes default with 418 patches and 22 drum kits.

GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) action is the same action on Yamaha's high end digital pianos.^[2]

MOTIF ES[edit]

MOTIF ES, a successor to original MOTIF series, debuted at Summer NAMM Show in 2003:

MO[edit]

In January 2006, Yamaha launched two entry-level variants of the MOTIF ES - the 61 key MO6 and 88 key MO8. Though containing half the polyphony and fewer preset sound programs, these models contain all the MOTIF ES sample sets, along with arpeggios and a song and pattern sequencer. Lacking are the professional MOTIF ES features such as mLAN connectivity, Yamaha PLG integration, sampling and multiple foot controllers.

MOTIF XS[edit]

The XS versions were announced at NAMM 2007:

MOTIF has a mLAN connection for transferring MIDI and sound to a PC.

The MOTIF XS operating system is based on MontaVista Linux.^[7][8][9]

MOX[edit]

In 2011, Yamaha introduced an entry-level variant of the MOTIF XS: the 61-key MOX6 and 88-key MOX8. Though containing half the polyphony and fewer insert effects of the XS, the MoX series contains all the MOTIF XS Wave ROM and voice presets, along with arpeggios and a song and pattern sequencer. The number of performances in the MoX is reduced to 256. The MoX does not support user sampling, nor does it support the mLAN/Firewire expansion. The MoX feature a built-in 4-out/2-in USB audio interface users can use to record audio directly from the keyboard or an outside source to a computer, as well as play and control VST instruments directly through the keyboard via USB.

MX[edit]

The current version of the entry-level Motif lineup, also based on the soundset of the Motif XS. It features the same voices as the XS, although with less WaveROM (166 MB vs. the XS's 355 MB), fewer performances (128), fewer arpeggios (999), and fewer editable parameters. The MX series also has no sequencer. It featured a similar USB audio/MIDI interface as the MoX series. The MX is playable in 16-part multi-timbral performance mode, configurable with the third-party Vycro editor. It is also the only keyboard in the Motif family available in a 49-key model^[11] (alongside the 61-key MX61).

A version with 88 GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) weighted keys, the MX88, was announced by Yamaha in April, 2017.

MOTIF XF[edit]

The XF versions were announced via www.MOTIFator.com on August 2, 2010:

While the preset voices in the MOTIF XF are the same as in the previous XS model, the XF includes an extra user bank containing 128 brand new voices. Also, eight new drum kits are also included in the user bank area. The biggest addition in the XF is the 512MB / 1024MB flash memory, which users can use to instantaneously import or load samples and sounds.In 2014, Yamaha announced the 40th anniversary white versions of the MOTIF XF called the MOTIF XF WH Series, which are available for all three models—as MOTIF XF6, MOTIF XF7 & MOTIF XF8.

MOXF[edit]

In 2013, Yamaha launched two 'lite' versions of the MOTIF XF - the 61-key MoXF6 and 88-key MoXF8. The MoXF series contains all the MOTIF XF WaveROM, polyphony and voice presets, along with arpeggios and a song and pattern sequencer. The MoXF does not support on-board user sampling, nor does it support the mLAN/Firewire expansion. It features one slot for a flash memory board (versus 2 on the flagship XF), allowing users to load additional sample libraries from third-party sources. The MoXF also features the same USB MIDI/audio interface seen on the MoX series.

Specifications[edit]

Comparison[edit]

MOTIF Classic[edit]

• AWM2 PCM tone generator
• 110,000 note MIDI sequencer @ 480 ppqn
• Sample engine (4MB built-in, expandable up to 64MB of user RAM)
• Compatibility with common sample formats such as Akai, WAV, and AIFF
• 84MB of read-only memory (ROM)
• 62-voice polyphony

MOTIF keyboards include three internal expansion slots (two on the rack-mount version). These slots allow the user to augment the instrument's soundset through the purchase of Yamaha PLG Expansion Boards. The MOTIF Classic featured 4MB of onboard sampling RAM, which could be increased to 64MB with the purchase of third party memory sticks. External connectors include a firewire 400 port for connecting an mLAN network card; a USB 1 port for connecting the instrument to a computer via a MIDI cable OR for external storage; and a SmartMedia port for storing sequence, voice, and sample data (which requires a third-party SmartMedia card).

MOTIF ES[edit]

• AWM2 Tone Generator (complying with the Modular Synthesis Plug-in System)
• 128 note polyphony
• 226,000 note MIDI sequencer @ 480 ppqn
• Audio Input ports: A/D, AIEB2, mLAN, Stereo IN
• Sounds: 175MB (when converted to 16-bit linear format), 1,859 waveforms

All MOTIF ES synthesizers feature a selection of sounds, and use a sample-based subtractive synthesis engine. The MOTIF ES6, ES7 and ES8 feature 16 track sequencers that can use MIDI and sample tracks, and 512MB of sample memory can be fitted for completely new sounds. Physical modeling, virtual analogue synthesis, FM synthesis plus additional sample sets can be installed with Yamaha's Modular Synthesis Plug-in System (PLG boards).

The ES models featured several improvements over the original MOTIFs, including twice the polyphony with faster envelopes, a DSP effects engine (up to 8 tracks in sequencer mode can use independent dual insert effects), USB mass storage support, 8x sample RAM expansion (up to 512 MB via twin DIMM modules), improved acoustic piano sound, and twice the storage amount for user sounds.

The MOTIF ES range employs 'Megavoice' technology from the Yamaha Tyros2. These samples utilise 'velocity switching', designed to enable greater natural expression over the sounds, expressions such as fret noise, hammer-ons, slides and ghost notes.

MOTIF XS[edit]

• AWM2 Tone Generator
• 128 note polyphony
• 130,000 note MIDI sequencer @ 480 ppqn
• Connectors:
  • Output L/R standard phone jack
  • Assignable output standard phone jack
  • A/D input
  • Digital out (coaxial S/PDIF)
  • Phones
  • Foot controller 1,2
  • Footswitch x 2 (Assignable, Sustain)
  • MIDI In/Out/Thru
  • USB 2.0 to Host, to Device
  • AC In
  • Ethernet
  • mLAN (XS8 only, optional for XS6, 7)
• Sounds: 355MB (when converted to 16-bit linear format), 2,670 waveforms
• Weighted Keys

Some improvements over the previous ES series were:

• Assignable AF1/AF2 buttons (Often defaulted to control XA)
• Larger color display
• Eight faders (four more than the ES)
• Up to eight elements (waveforms) per voice
• Expanded Articulation (XA) (e.g. being able to trigger a voice element at note-off to change the voice character)
• Ethernet connectivity
• Larger waveform ROM (more than double compared to the MOTIF ES)
• Up to 4 simultaneous arpeggios (in performance mode)
• Shipped with Cubase AI
• Direct performance recording to pattern

The MOTIF XS is not compatible with the Yamaha PLG expansion cards.

MOTIF XF[edit]

• AWM2 Tone Generator
• 128 note polyphony
• 128MB internal SDRAM (sampling memory) standard
• 130,000 note MIDI sequencer @ 480 ppqn
• Connectors:
  • Output L/R standard phone jack
  • Assignable output standard phone jack
  • A/D input
  • Digital out (coaxial S/PDIF)
  • Phones
  • Foot controller 1,2
  • Footswitch x 2 (Assignable, Sustain)
  • MIDI In/Out/Thru
  • USB 2.0 to Host, to Device
  • AC In
  • Ethernet
  • FW16E (optional FireWire connectivity)
  • Optional 512MB and 1024MB FLASH cards for storage of sample data (2 GB combined max)
• Sounds: 741MB (when converted to 16-bit linear format), 3,977 waveforms
• Weighted Keys

An improvement over the MOTIF XS is the use of non-volatileflash memory for samples and sample libraries. Instead of DIMM memory modules, the XF uses proprietary flash cards. While more expensive than DIMM modules, the flash cards can permanently store sample data. The volatile DIMM modules in previous models could not store data when the unit powered off. Once initially loaded into the XF, the user doesn't have to reload sample data every time they power up the keyboard. The MOTIF XF is also the first in the MOTIF series since the MOTIF Classic to have standard internal SDRAM for sampling built into the keyboard.

As with the MOTIF XS, the MOTIF XF is not compatible with the PLG expansion cards.

Notable users of the keyboard include Stevie Wonder, Thomas Dolby, Gary Numan, Ron Mael, Billy Currie, Craig Burrows, Alan Parsons, John Foxx, George Duke and Mark Ronson.^{[citation needed]}

About Extensions for Steinberg DAW

“Extensions for Steinberg DAW” is a set of program plug-insand project templates developed by Yamaha to enhance the functions of Steinberg DAW software. Simply by installing Extensions for Steinberg DAW and connecting the MOTIF XS series (MOTIF XS6/7/8 andMOTIF-RACKXS) to your computer via an IEEE1394 cable, you can take advantage of various features which enable you to link Cubase (the Steinberg DAW) with the MOTIF XS.

This manual covers situations when connecting the MOTIF XS series to a computer to which Cubase 4 / Cubase Studio 4 / Cubase AI4 and Extensions for Steinberg DAW have already been installed. Keep in mind that you will need a USB storage device or you will need to connect the MOTIF XS to a computer via ETHERNET when using the Song Import feature.

NOTE

•The optional mLAN16E2 should be installed to the MOTIF XS6, MOTIF XS7 or MOTIF-RACKXS when using the features (except for “Song Import”) enabled by installing Extensions for Steinberg DAW. This manual assumes that the mLAN16E2 has been already installed to the MOTIF XS6, MOTIF XS7 orMOTIF-RACKXS.

•The version of Cubase 4 should be 4.0.2 or higher for using the Song Import feature.

What Extensions for Steinberg DAW can do

Simply by installing Extensions for Steinberg DAW, you can utilize the following features when combining Cubase 4 / Cubase Studio 4 /

Cubase AI4 with the MOTIF XS series.

•Auto setting of Audio Driver

•Audio/MIDI Port with device name

•Auto settings of Remote Device (MOTIF XS6/7/8 only)

•Project templates with Input/Output Bus settings

•Song Import from MOTIF XS6/7/8

NOTE

•Make sure to install Cubase 4 / Cubase Studio 4 / Cubase AI4 before installing Extensions for Steinberg DAW. This is necessary because the Project Template file for the MOTIF XS6/7/8 and MOTIF-RACKXS must be installed to the same folder to which Cubase has been already installed.

■ Auto setting of Audio Driver

With Extensions for Steinberg DAW installed, you can set the Audio Driver of Cubase to the Driver of Extensions for Steinberg DAW (ASIO mLAN) by clicking [OK] on the following popup dialog box that appears when starting Cubase.

NOTE

•Before starting Cubase, connect the MOTIF XS series device to a computer via an IEEE1394 cable then turn on the power of the MOTIF XS series to properly enable this feature.

■Audio/MIDI Port with device name

With Extensions for Steinberg DAW installed, the Audio/MIDI Ports including the device name “MOTIF XS” will be indicated on the Device Setting window in Cubase, letting you intuitively set the device setting. “MOTIF XS Main L” is shown as an Audio Port while “MOTIF XS MIDI IN” is shown as a MIDI Port, for example. For details, see the next page.

NOTE

•Before starting Cubase, connect the MOTIF XS series device to a computer via an IEEE1394 cable then turn on the power of the MOTIF XS series to properly enable this feature.

•Any name without a device name like “mLAN 10” will be assigned to a port that is not used by the MOTIF XS series.

•The Port names are automatically set as listed below each time you start Cubase, even if you change the Audio/MIDI Port names of the Driver supporting the Extensions for Steinberg DAW.

For MOTIF XS

■ Auto settings of Remote Device

With Extensions for Steinberg DAW installed, the MOTIF XS connected to a computer via an IEEE1394 cable will be registered as the Remote Device of Cubase. Also, the detailed settings such as MIDI Ports will be set automatically. You can confirm these points by selecting [Devices] → [Device Setup] to call up the Device Setup dialog box.

For details about function assignments, refer to the Owner's Manual and Data List 2 of the MOTIF XS.

The MOTIF-RACKXS cannot be set as a Remote Device.

The Remote Device name shown in Cubase and the MIDI Port

NOTE

•Even if the MIDI Port is changed, it will be reset to the above one when Cubase is restarted.

•The Remote Control function is available also when the MOTIF XS is connected to a computer via a USB cable. In this case, click [+] from the Device Setup window to call up the Device List, and then select “Yamaha MOTIF XS.” You will also need to set the MIDI Ports manually in this case.

In the initial setting, “All MIDI Inputs” may be applied to the MOTIF XS Remote port. This means that MIDI messages generated by operating Remote Controls such as Transport Control on the MOTIF XS panel may be recorded to a track of a Cubase Project. You will need to remove the “All MIDI Inputs” from “MOTIF XS Remote” via the following instructions so that MIDI messages unnecessary for Song creation are not recorded to a track of a Cubase Project.

1.Select [Devices] → [Device Setup] to call up the Device Setup dialog box.

2.Select “MIDI Port Setup” from the Device column.

3.Remove the checkmark from the “All Inputs” column in the “mLAN MIDI In/MOTIF XS remote” row.

4.Click [OK] to close the Device Setup dialog box

NOTE

•This setting will be maintained the next time you start up Cubase.

•Please refer to the Cubase Operation Guide for more information on setting up Cubase parameters.

■Project templates with Input/ Output Bus settings

With Extensions for Steinberg DAW installed, convenient Project templates for the MOTIF XS and MOTIF-RACKXS will be installed to Cubase. Each of these templates includes the appropriate settings for the Input/Output buses of the VST Connection, meaning that you can startmulti-channelrecording or AD input recording smoothly by selecting one of the templates to create a new Project, without having to set Audio Ports and Buses manually.

NOTE

•Set the AD Output of the MOTIF XS series to “m13&14” by using the Editor or instrument so that the setup of the Project Template is equivalent to the setup of the MOTIF XS.

•Selecting a different Project Template will overwrite the current settings of the Input/Output buses.

■ Song import from MOTIF XS6/7/8

With Extensions for Steinberg DAW installed, Song data recorded to the tracks of the MOTIF XS6/7/8 can be imported to a Project in Cubase on your computer. Keep in mind that audio data included in the song as well as MIDI events can be imported while the Mixing setup cannot be imported. Song data of the MOTIF-RACKXS can not be imported.

Follow the instructions below:

1 In the File mode of the MOTIF XS, save all user data created on the MOTIF XS (with the File Type set to “All”) to the USB storage device connected to the USB TO DEVICE connector. Next, remove the USB storage device from the MOTIF XS, and then insert it to the USB connector of the computer.

The file with the extension “.X0A” will be saved to the USB

storage device.

If the MOTIF XS and your computer are connected to the same Ethernet network, you can save the data (the file with the extension “.X0A”) to the hard disk drive of your computer.

2 On your computer, select [File]→ [Import]→

[MOTIF XS Song..].

The “Import MOTIF XS Song” dialog box appears.

3 From the “Import MOTIF XS Song” dialog box, select the file saved in step 1 above, and then click [Open].

The “Select directory” dialog box appears.

4 From the “Select directory” dialog box, select the destination folder to which the project file of Cubase is to be saved, then click [OK].

The “Import Options” dialog box appears.

5 From the “Import Options” dialog box, select the song and track(s) to be imported, then click [OK].

Select the song to be imported from the pull-downmenu at the top of this dialog box, then select the specific tracks of the selected song. If you want to import the entire song, click [Select All Tracks]. After selecting a song and tracks, click [OK] to execute the actual Import operation. After completing the Import operation, each track data of the selected song will be imported to each track in the project file of Cubase.

How the MOTIF XS song is to be imported

About the imported file and project

•Keep in mind that only the “All” type (file extension: X0A) can be imported to a Cubase project.

•The sample rate of the project created via the Song Import will be set to 44.1 kHz, meaning that the Sample Voice created on the MOTIF XS via a sample rate other than 44.1 kHz will not play via the correct pitch in the Cubase project. If you want to import a song with a Sample Voice, make sure to set the sample rate to 44.1 kHz before performing the Sampling operation.

About MIDI Tracks

•The MIDI tracks in the MOTIF XS song will be imported to a project as MIDI tracks. Each track of the project will be assigned the same MIDI Transmit Channel as that on the original MOTIF XS song.

•The track using Voices that contains User Waveforms obtained in the Voice/Performance mode via the Sampling function is imported as a MIDI track. In other words, the track which does not use a Sample Voice will be imported as a MIDI track.

•The Mixing setup of the MOTIF XS song will not be imported, resulting that the Volume and Pan of each MIDI track are set to “Off” when the song is imported.

About Audio Tracks

•The Audio track (including the Program Change which specifies the Sample Voice) in the MOTIF XS song will be imported to a project as the Audio track.

•The Mixing setup will not be imported, resulting that all the Volume values are set to 0 dB, all the Pan values are set to “C” and all the EQ shapes are reset to flat in the Audio track when the song is imported.

•Among all the Samples comprising a Waveform assigned to a Sample Voice used by the MOTIF XS song, only the Samples of the Key Bank including the note number recorded to the track will be imported to a Project when the box of “Import all Media Files” is not checked. If you want to import all the Samples, check the box “Import all Media Files.”

Others

•The Song Import function supports only the data recorded to each track of the MOTIF XS song. Note that the Mixing setup will not be imported to a Cubase project. If you want to apply the Mixing setup to the MOTIF XS, use the MOTIF XS Editor within Cubase. Start Studio Manager, followed by the MOTIF XS Editor within Cubase. Next, open the “All” type file (extension: .X0A), select the song same as that selected when executing the Song Import, and then execute the Sync function.

•The Song Import function does not support Pattern data and Arpeggio data.

•Song data imported to a Project cannot be exported back to the MOTIF XS.

Troubleshooting

■Cannot control Cubase from the MOTIF XS panel

•Make sure that the MOTIF XS is properly connected to the computer via an IEEE1394 cable.

•Confirm the version of Cubase installed to your computer. Versions older than 4 such as Cubase SX3 does not support the Remote Control function of the MOTIF XS .

•Confirm whether or not “Yamaha MOTIF XS” is registered as a Remote Device and “MOTIF XS Remote” has been

selected as the MIDI In/Out Port from the Device Setup window called via [Devices] → [Device Setup].

(Only for Macintosh users)

•When an external MIDI device is added to the device

“mLAN Network” in the Audio MIDI Setup window (called up by selecting [Application] → [Utilities]), the MIDI input/

output port for the remote device may not be set automatically in Cubase. In this case, remove all the external devices in the Audio MIDI Setup window, or manually set the MIDI input/output port for the remote device to the appropriate one in the Device Setup window in Cubase.

■Cannot find the Project Templates

•Confirm whether or not Extensions for Steinberg DAW has been installed properly.

•If you install Extensions for Steinberg DAW before installing Cubase, the Project Template files will be installed to the following path. Copy these files from the following path to the path where Cubase has been installed.

Windows:

C:Program FilesSteinbergCubase 4templates C:Program FilesSteinbergCubase Studio 4templates C:Program FilesSteinbergCubase AI4templates

Mac:

/Applications/Cubase 4.app/Contents/templates/ /Applications/Cubase Studio 4.app/Contents/templates/ /Applications/Cubase AI4.app/Contents/templates/

■Cannot import a MOTIF XS song

•Make sure to use Cubase of version 4.0.2 or higher.

•If you cannot select a song from the “Import Options” dialog box or you find the imported song does not have any data, the file of “All” type may be saved without storing the recorded song on the MOTIF XS. Make sure to store the recorded song on the MOTIF XS before performing the Save operation.
