Important Notices about the CD-ROM
Data Types
This CD-ROM includes two types of data: application software and sampled audio data. Please refer to pages 4 (Windows) and 9 (Macintosh) for software
installation instructions, and page 14 for the audio contents.
These applications allow you to edit MOTIF data and transfer data between your computer and the MOTIF.
You can import the audio data from an audio CD player (or any CD playing/ripping function on your computer) to the MOTIF via its INPUT jacks. For detailed
information, refer to the MOTIF Owner’s manual.
The application software is contained on track 1 (as recognized on an audio CD player), and the sampled audio data is contained in the subsequent tracks.
Never attempt to play back track 1 (containing the application software) on an audio CD player. Doing so may result in damage to your hearing as well
as to your CD player/audio speakers.
Operating System (OS)
The applications in this CD-ROM are provided in versions for both Windows and Macintosh operating systems. The installation procedure and the applications
themselves differ depending on the operating system that you are using. Please refer to the appropriate installation instructions.

About Open Plug-in Technology
You can start the Voice Editor for MOTIF or the File Utility software as either a stand-alone software or a plug-in application in the Open Plug-in Technology
compatible application.
Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a newly developed software format that allows control over MIDI devices from a music software sequencer. For example, this
allows you to start up and operate various parts of your music system, such as plug-in board editors, and mixing control editors – directly from an OPT-compatible
sequencer, without having to use each separately. This also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music production
system and making all operations more convenient and seamless.
About the OPT Levels
The client application and its compatibility with OPT can be divided into three levels, as shown below.
Level 1 – OPT Panels provides basic support for opening and displaying OPT control panels that can transmit data via the clients’ external MIDI ports.
Typically this will allow basic hardware editor control panels to operate properly.
Level 2 –
OPT Processors provides support for real-time MIDI processors and panel automation. Typically this will allow both real-time and offline MIDI
effects (e.g. Arpeggiators, transposers etc.) to operate properly and supply automation to OPT panels.
Level 3 – OPT Views provides support for edit views and MIDI processors/panels that require direct access to client sequencer storage structures. Typically
this will allow sophisticated MIDI edit views to be supported (e.g. List editors, Auto Accompaniment, Data Checkers etc.).
OPT Level Implementation for the Voice Editor
This chart shows the OPT-compatibility of the Voice Editor for MOTIF.
n Certain operations may not work as expected if there is no corresponding function in the client application (sequencer, etc.). The highest level of implementation for the client application is
indicated in the OPT logo (which appears along with the version information in the application).
OPT Level Implementation for the File Utility
This chart shows the OPT-compatibility of the File Utility.
n
Certain operations may not work as expected if there is no corresponding function in the client application (sequencer, etc.). The highest level of implementation for the client application is
indicated in the OPT logo (which appears along with the version information in the application).

USB MIDI Driver
To operate the MOTIF from your computer via USB, you’ll need to install the
appropriate driver software.
The USB-MIDI driver is software that transfers MIDI data back and forth
between sequence software and the MOTIF via a USB cable.
