Quick Start Guide
12. Saving and Exporting the recorded song to external PC (File Utility)
Reference (page 262)
Now that you’ve created your masterpiece, you’ll want to save it. You can save song data to a Memory card or SCSI
device in the File mode (page 261).
However, for safekeeping and organizational/archival purposes, you may want to store your MOTIF data to a
computer. You may also want to use your computer to do further editing and recording to your MOTIF-created
songs. The File Utility software (contained on the included CD-ROM) lets you do that and more — allowing you to
transfer files back and forth between a computer and the MOTIF via a standard USB cable connection.
Here’s a practical example. Let’s say you want to add a long section of audio data to your song, such as a lead vocal or
an extended guitar solo. Since recording that to the MOTIF may not be entirely practical or possible, you may want
to transfer your song to a computer, then record and edit the new audio tracks on the computer. First, you should
save the song data in Standard MIDI File (SMF) format to Memory card or a connected SCSI device, then transfer the
MIDI file to the computer with the File Utility software. Once you’ve imported the MIDI file to sequencer software
on your computer, match the MIDI send and receive channels (computer-to-MOTIF) so that each track of the
sequencer song data plays the appropriate part on the MOTIF. Finally, play back the song and record the desired
audio parts (vocals, solos, etc.) using your audio/MIDI sequencer.
n For details about the File Utility software, refer to the electronic documentation contained in the included CD-ROM.
