Is it possible to store the performance information and all the sounds on a Motif XS to a USB device and open it on a Motif XF? Do I need to convert the file or is it possible to open directly? |

Welcome to the forum. In order to provide accurate information, let’s first clarify which model(s) you’re writing about. It isn’t clear because a Motif XF “All” file has a .X3A file extension, while that for the MOXF is .X6A (in your topic). So, is the model you want to move the XS data to a Motif XF, or is it an MOXF? |

I have the exact same question......I’m going from MOX to USB to MOXF.
Many of my saved USER PERFORMANCE patches did not transfer with same or similar Voices. ( Some did however).
Any suggestions to convert the files from the .x4A in the MOX (which is in a folder NEWDIR1).
Thank you! |

Your question might be somewhat related, but it doesn’t appear to be identical to the OP’s. In fact, it’s not clear what that question was, since ringaren never posted again.

This isn’t an XS issue, but let’s see if we can determine what’s going on… The MOXF has backward file compatibility with the MOX. If the .X4A ("All") file was properly saved, and correctly loaded to the MOXF, what you’ve described shouldn’t have happened - unless your MOXF has a very early version of the OS installed.
Let’s first verify which OS is installed. From the OS installation Readme:
1. Press the [UTILITY] button, and then press the [JOB] button.
The most recent MOXF OS is version 1.10 - which version is installed on your MOXF? If your MOXF’s OS isn’t current, you should update it.
Next, I’d like to verify that your .X4A file actually contains your User data. I wrote a program that will help with that, but it only runs under Windows. I checked, but your member profile doesn’t indicate which computer platform you’re using. Please complete that information in the profile. Assuming you have Windows, please see http://www.motifator.com/index.php/forum/viewthread/472111/
Get back to us on the above, and we’ll see if anything more is needed to get your data loaded into the MOXF. |

Updating the operating system worked beautifully. I was able to recover almost all my MOX data and transfer it to the MOXF. A couple of saved User Performance patches were off by one click of cursor
Thanks to 5pinDIN and all who assisted with the problem. Update your OS, people. It’s essential. and don’t forget......BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!!! |
