If an attempt is made to restart immediately after changing the parameter, the message "Please keep power on" will be displayed for approximately 30 seconds.

Change to a Quick Setup preset Page 271 of Owner's Manual With this new firmware version, the Quick Setup function's "Recording to computer" preset for the Performance/Song/Pattern mode has been modified slightly, with the "MIDI Sync" setting changing from "internal" to "auto.

Saving of a user name for network computers Page 87 of Owner's Manual With the previous firmware version, a user name and password had to be entered whenever accessing a networked computer in the File mode. Now, however, you can save your user name as a parameter on the MOTIF XS.

New copy function for Punch In and Punch Out Page 187 of Owner's Manual When Record Type is set to "punch" in the Song mode's Record Setup display, you can now copy the measures set using Locations 1 and 2 (page 178) in this mode's Track View display to the Punch In and Punch Out positions, respectively.
