Hi Grant. I don't own a Motif ES anymore, but the ES is supposed to be able to load standard type 1 MIDI files into its linear sequencer (song mode). You can also save your own Motif songs as SMF type 0 files. You should go into song mode, find an empty song, press file, press F3 [load], set the type to song, and press the right arrow to move to the files list. Now, you'll be in the file list, and the MIDI files on your storage device will appear. You might need sighted assistance to select the specific file to load. You need to check out the ES reference to know the order that the file type control's settings are in. Setting type to song is something like the 14th or 18th option. Hopefully, you'll get a response from one of the current ES owners. If not, though, what I've told you should get you moving in the right direction.

Is it possible to take a MIDI file (.mid) that someone else has created and somehow load it in to the Motif and or mix editor to assign patches other than GM midi patches? I am hoping to use some MIDI files to create .wav samples using voices from the Motif that can then be triggered in performance mode in real time. The midi files have more information than I want to use as samples and I am thinking that I should be able to get each midi track seperatly and mute what I do not need.
