What is the Voice Editor?

With the Voice Editor for MOTIF6/MOTIF7/MOTIF8 (hereafter referred to as Voice Editor), you can

edit your MOTIF6/MOTIF7/MOTIF8’s voices and effects via your computer. Thanks to the easy-to-

understand graphical interface, you can edit virtually all of the voice parameters of MOTIF6/

MOTIF7/MOTIF8 right from your computer — using the mouse to adjust the virtual knobs, sliders,

and buttons and entering values from the computer keyboard. Finally, all the changes you have

made to your voices can be saved to your computer. If you have saved your edits to a memory

card (SmartMedia) in the computer, you can insert the memory card into your MOTIF6/MOTIF7/

MOTIF8 and its contents can be read directly when the Load ﬁle type is set to “Voice Editor.”

Windows Macintosh

Library Window

When you start Voice Editor, you will ﬁrst see the Library window, which consists of tabs, each

representing a Memory in the tone generation block. Each tab lists all the names, numbers and

categories of voices in the selected Memory. Double-clicking on a voice name in the Library

window opens the Edit window for a voice, letting you edit the voice.

You can save your settings as a Library ﬁle (*.W2E).

Toolbar

This area contains the buttons controlling the Voice Editor (page 8).

Tabs

Click any of these to view the voice list for the corresponding Memory Bank.

Voice list

This area shows all the voices in the selected Memory as a scrollable list. The name, number

and Category of each voice are shown. You can rearrange the voices by dragging-and-

dropping their voice numbers to a new location. You can rename a voice in Windows by

selecting the voice name, then clicking on it again to enter a new name. On the Macintosh,

you click on the voice name while holding down [control], choose “Edit Voice Name” from the

pull-down menu, and enter the new name in the dialog.

To select a continuous block of voices, click the number of the ﬁrst voice, hold down the [Shift] key,

then click the last number.

Voice names can consist of up to 10 characters.

Split Bar (Windows only)

If you place the mouse pointer over the line (Split Bar) that divides the Track Parameter

Section from the Block Section, the pointer will change shape into the split tool. With this tool,

you can drag the Split Bar back and forth and change the widths of the two sections.

You can change the size of any of the windows by placing the mouse pointer on the top, bottom, left,

or right border lines of the window, then dragging the line until the window is as big or small as you

like.

Viewing Just the Voice Names (Windows only)

You can view just the names of all voices in the Memory without their “Number” and

“Category” information. To do this, right-click on any part of the voice list and choose “List.”

This may be useful when choosing voices quickly, since you will have less scrolling to do.

To switch back to the full Voice Name/Number/Category list, right-click on any part of the voice list and

choose “Details.”

Library Window Toolbar

“Open” button

Click this to open the “Open” dialog and select a Library ﬁle to open.

“.W3E” ﬁle is necessary for loading the Library ﬁle from a memory card to the MOTIF.

n If you save a ﬁle to a Macintosh computer, the extension “.W2E” is not added automatically. Before loading

such ﬁles to the MOTIF, you’ll need to manually add the extension “.W2E” to the ﬁle names.
