Audio signal reception (*4)
In addition to the FW IN L/R inputs, the FW IN Main Out
Monitor L/R and FW IN Assignable Out Monitor L/R are
available as FW audio input channels on the MOTIF XF.
These channels can be used for monitoring the sound when
using the DAW software on the computer. The audio signal
received via the FW IN Main Out Monitor L/R will be output
via the OUTPUT L/R jacks while the audio signal received via
the FW IN Assignable Out Monitor L/R will be output via the
ASSIGNABLE OUTPUT L/R jacks.
Setting the audio output channel on the computer
determines which channel is used. As for audio signals
received via the IEEE1394 connector, parameters such as
volume and output channel can be applied as the FW audio
input part of the MOTIF XF. The display of these parameter
settings differs depending on the mode, as listed below.

Song playback from a DAW using
the MOTIF XF as a tone generator
The instructions below show how to use this instrument as a
MIDI tone generator. In this case, actual MIDI sequence data
is transmitted from a DAW or sequencer on the computer,
allowing you to avoid using software synths and save
processing power on your computer.
Setting up the MOTIF XF
1
Press the [SONG] or [PATTERN] button to enter the
Song mode or Pattern mode.
2
Select the Song or Pattern to be edited.
3
Press the [MIXING] button to call up the Mixing
display.

Set up the Mixing for parts 1 – 16 as necessary.
From the Mixing display, you can select the Voice and set
various parameters such as pan, volume, balance between
the chorus/reverb and dry sound, insertion effect on/off and
arpeggio on/off.
Setting up the DAW on the computer
1
Set the MIDI output port of the tracks for playing
the MOTIF XF.
When connecting via USB, set this to "Yamaha MOTIF
XF6(7, 8)-1" or "Yamaha MOTIF XF Port1." When connecting
via IEEE1394, set this to "MOTIF XF6(7, 8) Main."
NOTE
When using Cubase as DAW, you can create an original
Mixing setup of the MOTIF XF from the MOTIF XF Editor VST
on your computer. The created Mixing setup can be saved
as a Cubase Project file for future recall.
2
Enter the MIDI data to each track of the DAW on the
computer.
The tone generator settings of the part corresponding to the
MIDI track will be set in the Mixing mode on the MOTIF XF.
NOTE
By using the MOTIF XF Editor VST, you can create your own
original Mixing setup of the MOTIF XF from your computer. The
created Mixing setup can be saved as a file for convenient future
recall.
Recording your performance on
the MOTIF XF to the DAW
The instructions below show how to use the MOTIF XF as a
Master Keyboard. The note events you play on the MOTIF XF
are transmitted and recorded to a track of a DAW/sequencer
software on your computer, then returned back to the tone
generator block of the MOTIF XF—allowing you to record
your performance and properly hear it at the same time..
