Version History

New features:

Solved problems:

- Fixed a problem in which some Voice parameters might not be applied to the tone generator correctly in the Song, Pattern or Performance mode when the Arpeggio Type was changed for a Voice with ARP = "on."
- Fixed a problem in which the information on the display and the status of the tone generator would be different with each other when Factory Set was executed without "All" being checkmarked while the instrument and the MOTIF XF editor were online.
- Fixed a problem in which the "05: Create Continuous Data" job would be applied with the before-edited value of the Data Range, even though you edited the value with a USB ASCII keyboard.
- Fixed a problem in which exectuting Set/Clear of the Favorite via [ENTER]+[CATEGOTY SEARCH] while the instrument and the MOTIF XF editor were online would not affect the editor.
- Fixed a problem in which the MOTIF XF editor might remain locked even though the instrument was exited from the Other Job "05: Delete Same Name Waveforms" display of the Sampling mode.
Other minor problems have been corrected.

About Device Firmware:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it’s best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
