Yamaha V1.10 MOTIF XS6/MOTIF XS7/MOTIF XS8 New Functions in MOTIF XS V1.50/V1. - Page 5

New Functions in MOTIF XS Version 1.10 Yamaha has upgraded the MOTIF XS firmware to Version 1.10, adding a number of new functions. This supplement to the Owner's Manual describes these changes. ■ Support for USB ASCII keyboards You can now connect an ASCII keyboard to the instrument via its USB TO DEVICE connector. This allows you to type in Voice names, Song names, file names, and other alphanumeric text, to enter values for parameters that would normally require the numeric-keypad function, and to operate the instrument using function keys and shortcut keys.

Using this parameter, you can set the driver to be used when connecting your computer's IEEE1394 connector to the instrument's mLAN connector (available for MOTIF XS6/7 only when the optional mLAN16E2 has been installed). Settings: mLAN, FW mLAN Select "mLAN" when using the AI Driver or the mLAN Tools/mLAN Driver. Specifically, this setting is used when only connecting a single MOTIF XS to your computer or when connecting with mLAN-compatible devices via mLAN. FW Select "FW" when using the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver. Specifically, this setting is used when also connecting devices such as the Steinberg MR816 CSX or MR816 X to your computer. n For details regarding MOTIF XS usage restrictions in a Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver environment, visit our web site at: http://www.yamahasynth.com/download/motif_xs.html CAUTION Changes to this parameter are applied only after storing the Utility settings (page 259 of Owner's Manual) and restarting the MOTIF XS. If an attempt is made to restart immediately after changing the parameter, the message "Please keep power on" will be displayed for approximately 30 seconds. In order to ensure that the MOTIF XS operates normally after restart, it is extremely important that the power is not turned off while this message is being displayed. ■ Change to a Quick Setup preset Page 271 of Owner's Manual With this new firmware version, the Quick Setup function's "Recording to computer" preset for the Performance/Song/Pattern mode has been modified slightly, with the "MIDI Sync" setting changing from "internal" to "auto." When this Quick Setup preset is selected, therefore, the instrument will be synchronized to a MIDI clock being received from an external MIDI device, or if no external MIDI clock is being received, the instrument's internal clock will be automatically selected.
