   Hello:
Thanks for the help. I was not able to get the OS update file from the motifator website. Luckly, I found it on the yamahasynth.com website. I am not able to download anything from the motifator site. Is this happening to anybody else? Well, thanks to your help, I was able to update my motif without any problems.

You also have to hold down that special key sequence I don't remember what it is. Then go take a nap, you wouldn't want to interrupt it while it is still updating. I gave mine 30 minutes. It was probably overkill but I was not willing to take any chances. Like has been said, be sure to save all data first, as well as restore that data afterwards even if you haven't made modifications--the update does make things behave a bit oddly during the interim.

After that, you'll be able to use your kbd and other usb devices (even with an unpowered hub) if you were previously not able to do that. (mine came shipped with old old firmware)

Hi:
Does the size of the USB drive matter? Can I use an 8 gig one that I have? What is the procedure? Do I just transfer the file from the computer into the USB drive and then put it into the XS? Does the XS recognize the file by itself? Do I need to do this with the unit off and then turn it on for the update to take place?

Thanks for your help.

If a pen drive, for example, is formatted as fat32, which is the file system used by XS, any device will do, even not formatted on the equipment. The big requirement of the document is that no files/folders should be present other than the update file. I've always worked this way and never had errors when updating the system. Perhaps other colleagues might have other suggestions, but this is what I think that works 100% guaranteed.

Hth.

Peace,

Edu Camargo.
