What is the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor?
MOTIF-RACK XS Editor is a convenient tool which lets you edit and save the various parameters of your
MOTIF-RACK XS tone generator. These include Voice and Mixing parameters (edited in the Voice or Multi
mode of the MOTIF-RACK XS) such as Volume, Pan, EG, and Cutoff and other settings. Thanks to its easy-to-
understand graphical interface, you can edit various parameters of the MOTIF-RACK XS right from your
computer—using the mouse to adjust the virtual knobs, sliders, and buttons and entering values from the
computer keyboard. Finally, all the changes you have made can be saved to your computer or transmitted to
the MOTIF-RACK XS instrument.
You can use this MOTIF-RACK XS Editor as a plug-in for the software below
• Studio Manager
•DAW application software compatible with Studio Connections
Studio Manager
Studio Manager V2 is a cross-platform application that enables you to start multiple Editors for controlling
Yamaha hardware products remotely, and to save multiple Editor settings. You can run Studio Manager as a
stand-alone application, or as a plug-in within DAW applications compatible with Studio Connections such
as Cubase 4 or Cubase AI 4.
For more information, refer to the Studio Manager PDF manual.
Studio Connections
Studio Connections is a joint project begun by Steinberg and Yamaha. Music
production systems now increasingly rely on both software and hardware, and there
is a pressing need for closer integration between the two. Studio Connections
provides a comprehensive and seamless music production environment—making the
use of hardware and software both easier and much more efficient. The following
functions are available in Studio Connections.
Recall
With the Recall function, all settings in each Editor can be saved within Studio Manager, and then called up
again when needed. This enables you to recall all the settings of multiple devices from Studio Manager and
control the entire system easily, instantly and automatically.
Recall is especially convenient when used with a DAW application compatible with Studio Connections. This
lets you save the Editor data directly to the project file of the DAW letting you recall all necessary hardware
settings automatically by simply opening the project file.
When executing the Recall function in the Studio Manager, the parameter settings of either device (MOTIF-RACK XS or DAW
software on a computer) are synchronized with the other. You can determine which device (MOTIF-RACK XS or DAW software) is
regarded as the master of the parameter settings by setting the Auto Sync Setting (page 41).
