Special Notices
MOTIF XS Editor VST Installation Guide 3
MOTIF XS Editor VST is a convenient tool which lets you edit and save the various parameters of your MOTIF XS
synthesizer. These include Common/Part Mixing parameters (edited in the Song or Pattern mode of the MOTIF XS)
such as Volume, Pan, EG, and Cutoff, as well as parameters of a Voices assigned to each Part (edited in the Voice
mode of the MOTIF XS). Thanks to the easy-to-understand graphical interface, you can edit various parameters of
the MOTIF XS 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 can be saved to your
computer or transmitted to the MOTIF XS instrument.
The MOTIF XS Editor VST, based on the “VST3 technology” by Steinberg, works as a VST3 plug-in with Cubase
series 4.5 or later (DAW application). The MOTIF XS Editor VST also works as the same way as other VST
instrument software, allowing you to save the edited settings of the MOTIF XS, or use them for another project. In
addition, you can handle the MOTIF XS Voices in the Media Bay window in Cubase when using the MOTIF XS
Editor VST with Cubase 4.5 or later, allowing you to search for, listen, and play the MOTIF XS Voices within Media
Bay in Cubase. The MOTIF XS Editor VST provides a comprehensive and seamless music production environment
– making the use of hardware and software both easier and much more efficient.
The actual installation steps and the use of the software itself differs depending on the operating system that you
are using. Please refer to the appropriate installation instructions.
1 Verify that your system (DAW application) meets the operating requirements of each software program.

For subsequent operations, refer to the PDF manual accessed from the [HELP] menu in the respective software
program.
Precautions when using the USB TO HOST connector
When connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST connector, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so
risks freezing the computer and corrupting or even losing the data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, turn the power
to the instrument off or restart the computer.
• Before connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST connector, exit from any power-saving mode
(such as suspended, sleep, standby) of the computer.
• Before turning on the power to the instrument, connect the computer to the USB TO HOST connector.
• Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument on/off or plugging/unplugging the USB
cable to/from the USB TO HOST connector.
- Quit any open applications.
- Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing
notes on the keyboard or playing back a song.)
• While a USB device is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or more between
these operations: (1) when turning the power of the instrument off then on again, or (2) when alternately
connecting/disconnecting the USB cable.

MOTIF XS Editor VST Installation Guide 5
To use the MOTIF XS Editor VST as a VST3 plug-in of the DAW application, you’ll need to install the following
software programs. Follow the appropriate instructions below corresponding to the software you’re using.
Driver Installation
To operate your Yamaha hardware from your computer via a USB cable or an IEEE1394 cable, you’ll need to install
the USB-MIDI driver software, AI Driver, mLAN Driver/mLAN Tools, or Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver software. The
USB-MIDI driver is necessary when using a USB connection to transfer MIDI data back and forth between your
computer’s DAW application and the MOTIF XS6/7/8.
The AI Driver, mLAN Driver/mLAN Tools, or Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver is necessary when using an IEEE1394
connection to transfer Audio/MIDI data back and forth between your computer’s DAW application and the MOTIF
XS (MOTIF XS6/7 with optional mLAN16E2 installed, or MOTIF XS8).
n MOTIF XS Editor VST cannot be used over a MIDI connection.
n Make sure to properly install an audio device when connecting the MOTIF XS instrument to the computer via USB cable. For more
details, refer to the section “Audio Connection to the Computer” (page 6).
