I recently sold my Motif XS and just bought the White XF 40 year anniversary, I have some voice libraries that I had bought for my XS here on the shop and I want to know if its possible to load them to the XF ?

Yes, XS data is compatible with the XF. Do keep in mind that the XF has unique new Voices in User Bank 1 and the first eight User Drum Voices, so you might want to avoid overwriting them.

Also, if the libraries have samples greater than 128MB in total, your XF will need to have at least one optional flash module in order to load them.

I suppose I would load them into user 2, 3 or 4 so I don’t wipe out User 1 ?

Another question I have is, if there is I way to audition the sounds before loading them an choosing which ones I like and which one I want to load so that way I can combine different sounds from different libraries that are available out there from third parties etc ?  and also with my own samples ?

Yes, Banks 2/3/4 are the ones with duplicates from the Presets.

Although the article is written about the XS Editor, it mostly applies to the XF as well. The XF Editor (like the XS Editor) is a free download.

You can audition your own samples from a USB drive if they’re in the proper WAV or AIFF format:
