Troubleshooting

The driver cannot be installed.

Check the USB cable connection.
Disconnect the USB cable, then connect it again.
• [Windows] Is the USB function enabled on your computer?
When you connect the MOTIF to the computer for the first time, if the
"Add New Hardware Wizard" does not appear, the USB function on the
computer may be disabled. Perform the following steps.
1 Double-click "System" in the Control Panel to open the System
Properties window.
2 Double-click the "Device Manager" tab and make sure that no "!" or
"x" marks appear at "Universal serial bus controller" or "USB Root
Hub." If you see an "!" or "x" mark, the USB controller is disabled.
For more information, refer to the owner's manual of your computer.

"Unknown device" by following the steps below.
1 Double-click "System" in the Control Panel to open the System
Properties window.
2 Double-click the "Device Manager" tab. With the "View devices by
type" check box checked, look for "Other devices."

for "Unknown device." If one appears, select it and click the
[Remove] button.

again.

the actually used cable (USB or MIDI).
