What type of File did you save?
The Motif ES is not like Yamaha “PS” or PSR keyboards. |

Hi BadMister, (1)The same files that I saved on a USB 2GB which loads/saves correctly. W7V, W8V,W7A, W8A, W7P, W8P & W7S, W8S. The 8GB USB did load, etc., fine untill now ?

No. The Motif ES has one arpeggiator.
As to your USB drive, use the 2GB drive. It works.

So the 2GB should only be used correct ? also only one arpeggiator means cannot have 2 instruments like bass & chord guitar doing rhythm right ?

Do i have to install upgrades on the MOTIF ES after i do a factory reset on it ? Please advise.
It is always good to have the latest firmware version in your keyboard in order to be compatible with the new software versions. You should check your firmware version by powering up the unit while holding down the [REC] and [STORE] buttons simultaneously. The latest firmware is 1.08. If you have some previous version, you should at first obtain SmartMedia card or adapter for xD cards since second is much cheaper these days.
Now I wanna play the LEFT HAND on my MOTIF ES for accompaniment from One Man Band Software.
Connection with One Man Band software is only done via MIDI interface, using USB cable connected to computer. In the software you set your MIDI interface to Yamaha Motif ES 1 (or similar name). Your audio driver is not necessary, since you will hear your playing and accompaniment through ES outputs or headphones. You could also set split point for your left hand (default is C3). Software is simple and have a detail instruction, so don’t be afraid if you are new. Alex |

No. A factory reset does not affect the operating system firmware. |

Appreciate your responses, Guru & 5pindin. Now Guru you say the updated firmware is 1.08. My motif es reads 1.05. Can i upload it thru a USB rather than a smart card OR Sd ? ALSO, (1) where do i find the 1.08 upgrade to download ? (2) On the OMB software can i just connect it from say like a tablet/ipad to the USB to HOST on the MOTIF ES ?

The firmware update and other downloads are available here. Once you’re at the download site, clicking on the link to the 1.08 OS update will provide additional information. |

You could update your firmware ONLY using SmartMedia card.
