Vikas, thank you for your extremely kind words. I consider satisfying my own curiosity as just the first step. Sharing what I know might or might not help others, but it certainly doesn’t diminish me. I believe that the value of knowledge is multiplied by the number of people who possess it.

Since people here purchased the Motif XF in the USA and took it to other countries, I would like to ask you about your airplane shipping experiences. Any advices? warnings? Will an XF8 be taken by an airline in a TSA case with no issues? Thanks in advance. |

This makes sense. This type of musical instrument is being played by artists not just in one country. They are like laptops. They have the ability to accept voltages from Any Country. |

My advise: Save your motif configuration (ALL including all waveforms in Flash boards as well) into a USB Flash drive and dropbox and Rent similar keyboard from destination counry. Then restore everything into new drvice! Once I had very bad experience even though I marked my box “Fragile” and also paid extra luggage but at destination airport, this box was lying on floor near belts. |

thanks, I am planning on using a rugged hard shell TSA flight case and I will be staying overseas for a long while so I need my keyboard with me. |

I asked again to USA Customer service last week and they informed me that I can use UK power supply (230 Volts) for Motif XF purchased from USA and don’t need Step down transformer!!! (Completely opposite to what they said to me in 2011!!)

See previous post. Also, from a previous post in this thread by 5pinDIN: It seems that the FAQ is accurate, and that a US XF will run on a wide range of input power - at least based on my own XF6. That doesn’t mean I’m going to compensate anyone who plugs their US-bought XF into 220/240V AC and it fails. I accept no responsibility for your actions. Decide for yourself. I seriously doubt if the XF WH has different specs than other XF’s. Did you get a “US” XF through Amazon? |
