You have to connect the Motif to the computer with a USB cable so that the editors can talk to the Motif. To connect the Motif, just like any other piece of computer gear, you need the drivers. So, you need the drivers from those disks, or from www.yamahasynth.com, but you don't need anything else from those CDs.

So does this mean I don't have to worry about installing any of the softward that came with the keyboard itself? ----- Original Message ----- From: Bryan Smart <mailto:bryansmart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: MoAccess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 9:07 AM Subject: Re: [MoAccess] Question about editor software. The editors don't remote control the keyboard. The editors allow you to: Create your own instrument voices, or modify the built-in ones. Build a library of voices that you've made on your own, or downloaded from the Internet, and load/save them to/from the Motif. Create your own performances (splits and layers) Create your own master setups (quick lists of voices/performances/songs/patterns that you can call up when playing live). Modify mix settings when working with songs or patterns, so that you can change how the mix sounds in detail. The scripts improve Jaws performance with the editors, and are $15. For the moment, you e-mail me your Jaws serial number and Paypal me $15 if you want the scripts. I send you the scripts and an unlock code. You need to buy the editors directly from John Melas' site.

Does this software allow you to control the keyboard via the computer? For example, if I wanted to record a brand new pattern into the XS, could I use the computer sofware and save it into the XS rather than try and learn all the screens on the keyboard itself? How much are the JAWS scripts for the Motif XS editors?
