Simply by installing Extension and connecting the MOTIF XS series (B-30AR/7/8 and MOTIF-RACK XS) to your computer via an IEEE1394 cable, you can take advantage of various features which enable you to link the Steinberg DAW such as Cubase with the MOTIF XS series. This manual covers situations when connecting the MOTIF XS series to a computer to which Cubase 5/Cubase 4/Cubase Studio 5/Cubase Studio 4/Cubase Essential 4/Cubase AI 4 and Extension have already been installed. Keep in mind that you will need a USB storage device or you will need to connect the MOTIF XS to a computer via ETHERNET when using the Song Import feature. NOTE · The optional mLAN16E2 should be installed to the B-30AR, MOTIF XS7 or MOTIF-RACK XS when using the features (except for "Song Import") enabled by installing Extension. This manual assumes that the mLAN16E2 has been already installed to the B-30AR, MOTIF XS7 or MOTIF-RACK XS. Next, remove the USB storage device from the MOTIF XS, and then insert it to the USB connector of the computer. The file with the extension ". X0A" will be saved to the USB storage device. If the MOTIF XS and your computer are connected to the same Ethernet network, you can save the data (the file with the extension ". X0A") to the hard disk drive of your computer. On your computer, select [File] [Import] [MOTIF XS Song. . . ]. The "Import MOTIF XS Song" dialog box appears. 2 Select the song to be imported from the pull-down menu at the top of this dialog box, then select the specific tracks of the selected song. If you want to import the entire song, click [Select All Tracks]. After selecting a song and tracks, click [OK] to execute the actual Import operation. After completing the Import operation, each track data of the selected song will be imported to each track in the project file of Cubase. 3 From the "Import MOTIF XS Song" dialog box, select the file saved in step 1 above, and then click [Open]. The "Select directory" dialog box appears. From the "Select directory" dialog box, select the destination folder to which the project file of Cubase is to be saved, then click [OK]. The "Import Options" dialog box appears. 4 MOTIF XS Extension/MOTIF-RACK XS Extension Owner's Manual 5 How the MOTIF XS song is to be imported About the imported file and project · Keep in mind that only the "All" type (file extension: X0A) can be imported to a Cubase project. [. . . ] · The sample rate of the project created via the Song Import will be set to 44. 1 kHz, meaning that the Sample Voice created on the MOTIF XS via a sample rate other than 44. 1 kHz will not play via the correct pitch in the Cubase project. If you want to import a song with a Sample Voice, make sure to set the sample rate to 44. 1 kHz before performing the Sampling operation. Troubleshooting Cannot control Cubase from the MOTIF XS panel · Make sure that the MOTIF XS is properly connected to the computer via an IEEE1394 cable. · Confirm the version of Cubase installed to your computer. Versions older than 4 such as Cubase SX3 does not support the Remote Control function of the MOTIF XS . [. . . ]
