Restoring the factory-programmed settings of the MOTIF-RACK ES
The MOTIF-RACK ES has a Factory Set function for restoring your MOTIF-RACK ES’s memory to the factory default settings.
This lets you restore the synthesizer’s default User Voices, Performances and Multis, as well as its System and other settings.
Keep in mind that once you edit any settings, the corresponding factory defaults will be overwritten and lost. You can use the
Factory Set job to restore these settings if needed.
For details about the Factory Set function, see page 49.
When you restore the factory default settings, all the current settings for the all the Performances, Multis and User Voices will be overwritten with
the factory defaults. Make sure you are not overwriting any important data. You should back up any important data to your computer beforehand
using the Bulk Dump function (page 48).
