These load by default to user 3. Set type to voice, highlight the file, press enter, press user 3. You should see the contents of that file. Select your voice, set target destination and load. Stone |

Andy Dufresne, while the machine is perfectly capable on it’s own to LOAD individual VOICES...and stoneb3 has provided assistance to you there...as you get deeper into multiple Libraries and the huge selection of VOICES available, you might want to look into the John Melas Total Librarian for ease in constructing, editing, LOADING, and organizing your favorite VOICES and BANKS of VOICES. For the modest Dollars (Euros) that this software tool costs, many of us have found it to be completely useful (even indispensable) for these purposes, and it is available for the MOX at the link provided. |

Again, to see the individual Voices use the folders: [USER 1], [USER 2], [USER 3], and [USER DR] that appear in the screen in the right side Directory… Here’s how:
From VOICE mode
The list of Voices in that bank will be shown. If the VOICES you want are in, say, USER 3, then you would highlight the [USER 3] Folder and press [ENTER] to view the 128 individual Voices in the File’s USER 3. Scroll down the list to find a Voice you wish to Load. After entering a folder you exit from it back a level by pressing the [EXIT] button… This will return you to viewing the four Folder/Banks. Now you can select a different Folder/Bank and select another Voice. Move the Cursor highlight to the LEFT and set the internal target location - the MOX will show you what data is currently occupying the target location… So you know what you are getting ready to overwrite in your internal USER bank. When the screen is properly setup you can see the selected Voice on the right side, the target destination on the left. When you have located where you would like to put this Voice, press [SF1] EXEC to execute the Load. |

cmayhle: Thanks a lot for that software recommendation as well as the link! I will definitely be looking into that in the near future.

Try loading an 80’s set as an all file, give it a distinct name, save it, then see if you can access the data of the newly saved file when the type is set to voice. Stone |

The VintageKeys library is properly prepared - and I guess therefore loads properly. I am not familiar with the 80’s Pop/Rock Soundset… sorry, can’t imagine what they might have done. Was it originally a .X4A file or did someone change the extension? |

Bad files. Not behaving properly. Contact Playkeyz. |

When you LOAD an “ALL FILE to my USER 3 bank”, you must keep in mind that you are not only LOADING to USER BANK 3, you are also LOADING all of the other BANKS with their place-holder VOICES, which are usually the Factory VOICES by default. In order to truly LOAD only what is in USER BANK 3, you must select 1BankVoice as your FILE type when you do the LOAD...instead of ALL as the FILE type...as you are doing now. This allows you to select BANK 3 of the SOURCE file, and LOAD it alone to the DESTINATION BANK you choose on the machine (User BANK 3 if that is where you want it to go). Otherwise, you will be overwriting all of the BANKS. |

Good choice. The Motif’s are fine instruments and well suited for live play. Not to mention a first class support forum. Just a small bump in the road, please let us know of your results. |

Glad you got this sorted. But it does not explain the issue. Fact remains, that you should be able to load individual Voices from either an ALL data file (.X4A), or from an ALL VOICE file (.X4V). How you were not able toils still a mystery to me… And I don’t like unresolved mysteries. Perhaps some shortcut was taken in the preparation or duplication of the data, but I can’t figure out what that might have been or how you wind up with an ALL data file without its individual bank folders occupied… As far as I know, that’s impossible using the MOX. At any rate, once you have things loaded properly, please make your own ALL data file backup and lose he one the purchased. |
