n In addition to the file types above, Yamaha A5000/A4000/A3000/SU700 files and AKAI S1000/S3000 files can be loaded to the MOTIF ES.
n When files of the Yamaha A series samplers (A5000/4000/3000) are loaded, an “S” mark by the file name indicates the file contains only sample data and a
“P” mark indicates program data (voice related parameters and so on). When entering the File mode from the Voice/Performance mode, the “P” marked file
can be loaded and the following two types can be selected instead of Waveform or Key Bank.
• Type 1: Only one sample is imported to a certain waveform. This type utilizes the various settings of the MOTIF ES, and the parameters corresponding to
the four elements are also loaded. Extra samples are not loaded.
• Type 2: Several samples are imported to a certain waveform. Parameters corresponding to the four elements are not loaded to the MOTIF ES. Extra
samples are not loaded.
