" Loading specific Performances from the Memory Card or a SCSI device connected to the MOTIF Owner's Manual on page 263 In the previous version, you could only load and save all 128 MOTIF Performances as a group. In the new version, the MOTIF lets you load a specific Performance from a file (which has been saved as "All" to internal memory). n If the Performance you are loading has been assigned a user voice, the resulting sound may not be as expected. [. . . ] If this occurs, make sure that the appropriate user voice is also loaded. "Performance" becomes available as the file type to be loaded. This type lets you load a specific Performance to the internal memory of the MOTIF.

Sequencer Remote Control function -- template additions/changes Owner's Manual on pages 65, 119, and 256 Support for the Yamaha SQ01 sequencer and the SONAR software program has been added to the remote control functions of the MOTIF. The available templates for the Sequencer Remote Control in the Utility mode have been changed as follows. "SQ01" is added. "Cakewalk" is changed to "SONAR. " SQ01 When the template is set to "SQ01" the following functions can be controlled by the MOTIF. These control the track selected via the NUMBER [1] - [16] buttons. If the GM check box and the desired parts are marked, executing the Initialize will set the voice banks of the corresponding parts to the GM bank. This feature is convenient when you want to play a GM song that does not contain a "GM On" message. Preset Plug-in Voices for PLG150-DR and PLG150-PC Owner's Manual on pages 35 and 43 The new version provides preset Plug-in Voices for the PLG150-DR and PLG150-PC, the Plug-in boards dedicated for drum/percussion sounds. Once these boards are installed, you can play the various drum and percussion sounds as if they were part of the MOTIF -- and even use them with the dynamic rhythm-related Arpeggio settings. Receive Channel settings of the Plug-in parts in the Song/Pattern mode Owner's Manual on page 210 On this new version, the default values of the Receive Channel of the Single Plug-in Board in the Song/Pattern Mixing Edit mode (Part Edit mode) are 1, 2, and 3 for the Plug-in Slot 1, 2, and 3. This lets you play the Plug-in voice simply after entering the Song/Pattern mode and any of the NUMBER [1] - [3] buttons (the slot number to which the Plug-in board has been installed). Keep in mind that the voice of the internal part will also sound, so you should set the appropriate Receive Channel settings to off as desired.
