The total MOTIF memory capacity determines the number of songs/patterns (phrases) that can be recorded. For example, if the memory contains songs/patterns (phrases) that use up a large amount of memory, the memory may become full even though the available pattern or song numbers are not all used. pages 275, 276 • In the Pattern Record mode, does the specified track to which the Phrase is assigned have preset data? Recording cannot be done to a track that contains preset data. page 221 Can't record samples. • Have you exceeded the maximum allowable number of samples (key banks)? • Is there enough free sample memory? • Is the Sampling Source setting appropriate? • Is the Trigger mode set appropriately? page 60 page 276 page 236 page 237 Can't save data to the Memory card or the SCSI disk. • Is the Memory card or SCSI disk being used write protected? (Write-protect should be set to off for saving data.) • Is the Memory card or SCSI disk being used properly formatted? pages 289, 290 page 265 MIDI bulk data transmission/reception won't work properly. • Is the Receive Bulk parameter set to "protect" in the Utility mode? page 258 Plug-in board does not work. • Is the lamp of the corresponding slot number to which the Plug-in board has been installed lit? page 87 • Has the Vocal Harmony Plug-in board been installed to slot 2 or 3 ? (The VH board should be installed to slot 1.) page 282 • Has the Multi-part Plug-in board been installed to slot 1 or 2 ?
