Hello:
Thanks for sending the instructions. Since I have not created anything on the
Motif, I guess I shouldn't worry about backing up any data. I assume nothing
is going to happen to the original sounds that come with the Motif right?
Well, thank you very much once again.
Have a great day.

Below are the procedures to be taken, as documented by Yamaha itself, including
important notes.
----------------
Updating Procedure
--<Caution>--
- If you are updating to V1.55 from V1.50 or an earlier version, all User data
(User Voices, User Performances, Songs and so on) will be initialized by this
updater.
-----------------
You can save all user data to a USB storage device or to a computer connected
to the same network by selecting "all (file extension is .XOA)" as the saved
file type and executing the save in the File mode. For details, see page 276 of
the Owner's Manual.
Required Items
- One USB memory device of over 256MB capacity formatted on the MOTIF XS
1. After downloading, copy the uncompressed [8E54OS_.PGM] file to a USB memory
device that has been formatted on the MOTIF XS. No other files should be
present on the USB memory device.
2. Power off the MOTIF XS.
3. Connect the USB memory device copied in step 1 into the MOTIF XS. Power on
the MOTIF XS while holding down the cursor [UP] button and [UTILITY] buttons
until the "MOTIF XS" logo appears on screen.
4. The MOTIF XS OS updater will begin with the message "Searching for the
firmware updater," indicating "......%".
When the message "Finish. Please turn off " appears, turn off the MOTIF XS and
remove the USB memory device.
NOTE:
The update process takes about fifteen minutes. DO NOT power off or remove the
USB device from the MOTIF XS during this time. If the electrical supply is
accidently interrupted while running the updater (by pulling out the AC cord,
etc.), the unit may become inoperable. If this happens, run the updater again.
If the unit does not function after doing this, please contact your nearest
Yamaha service center.
5. If you are updating to V1.55 from V1.50 or an earlier version, make sure to
execute the Initial Factory Setting by pressing [UTILITY] -> [JOB] -> [ENTER].
After the Initial Factory Setting is completed, load the data you backed up
before this procedure to the MOTIF XS, if necessary.
6. Press the [UTILITY], [Cursor Up] and [F1] buttons simultaneously to check
the firmware version to confirm that the unit has been successfully updated.
This concludes the update process.
A note from me: The Motif XS logo appears after 5 secs or so, and just to
reiterate, the update process begins immediately. Just remember, for the update
to start, you should press the power with cursor up and the utility buttons
simultaneously.
Hope this helps.
Peace,
Edu Camargo.
