Editing a Performance

Owner’s Manual
Quick Guide — Advanced Course
After the Performance has been stored, a “Completed” message
appears and operation returns to the Performance Play display.
Keep in mind that the Store operation may take a short time to complete,
during which an “Executing..” or “Please keep power on” message may be
shown. Never attempt to turn off the power while data is being written to
Flash ROM while such a message is displayed. Turning the power off in this
state results in loss of all user data and may cause the system to freeze (due
to corruption of data in the Flash ROM). This may also result in the MOTIF ES
being unable to properly start up the next time the power is turned on.
If you select another Performance without storing, the currently edited
Performance will be lost. Make sure to store the edited Performance before
selecting another Performance.
Saving the edited Performances to a
SmartMedia/USB storage device
Whether you are saving data to SmartMedia or a USB storage
device, the procedure is the same. Insert a SmartMedia card
(to the CARD slot) or connect the USB device and follow the
instructions below.
Refer to “Basic settings for using SmartMedia or a USB
storage device” on page 30.
Move the cursor to TYPE, then select a file type by using the
data dial, [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons. When Type is set
to “All,” execute the Save operation to save all the created
data, including the Performances as well as the Voices
assigned to them, as a single file (extension: W7A).
Move the cursor to the file name input location, then input a
file name. For detailed instructions on naming, refer to page
53 in the Basic Operation section.
If you are about to overwrite an existing file, the display
prompts you for confirmation. Press the [INC/YES] button to
execute the Save operation to overwrite the existing file, or
press the [DEC/NO] button to cancel it.
While the data is being saved, make sure to follow these precautions:
•Never remove or eject the media from the device (SmartMedia or USB
storage).
•Never unplug or disconnect any of the devices.
•Never turn off the power of the MOTIF ES or the relevant devices.
■ Loading the Performance data from the
SmartMedia/USB storage device
In the previous section, we saved Performance data as an
“All” file (extension: W7A) to a SmartMedia card or USB
storage device. Here, we’ll recall that Performance data and
load it to the instrument with the Load operation.
Refer to “Basic settings for using SmartMedia or a USB
storage device” on page 30.
