    Yamaha has prepared a range of display templates for use with this feature. In order to make use of these templates, you will need to transfer them to your MOTIF XS using the network file-sharing function or a USB flash-memory device. Following the steps outlined below, you can then use these display templates to customize the appearance of MOTIF XS displays.

  • Page 2: Network

    If you employ a broadband router to connect your computer to the Internet, use a vacant ETHERNET connector on the router to connect the MOTIF XS. Bear in mind, however, that this does not connect the MOTIF XS to the Internet, only to other computers and drives on the same network.

  • Page 3: Network Settings On Computer

    Open “My Network Places”, followed by “View workgroup computers”. If your computer’s workgroup is not the same as that entered into the [Domain] field on your MOTIF XS (Network display in the Utility mode), open Microsoft Windows Network and create a domain with that name.
  • Page 4 Enter the user name (i.e., account name) and password that you set in the Network Settings on MOTIF XS section above. Two network folders will be displayed — “theme”, which contains display data for the MOTIF XS being accessed, and “media”, which contains data from the connected USB memory device.

  • Page 5: Mac Os X 10.5 (Leopard) Settings

    Click the [Browse] button. The Network screen will open. From the displayed list of servers, click the one with the MOTIF XS host name. For example, if [Host Name] has been set to “MOTIF_XS-2516f8” on the instrument, click the server named “motif_xs-2516f8”.

For details, see the above Mac OS X section Accessing the MOTIF XS by Entering a Host Name.

    The MOTIF XS displays will have changed to reflect the copied display template. If you were to continue to use the MOTIF XS without rebooting it at this time, some but not all of the display template would be applied. In order to apply the display template in full, therefore, ensure that you turn the instrument off and back on.

  • Page 9: Restoring The Original Displays

    CAUTION This action will permanently delete your customized MOTIF XS displays. If you would like to keep a copy of this design data for use at a later date, therefore, copy the “Image” folder onto your computer as a backup.
