What is the Voice Editor?
With the Voice Editor for MOTIF6/MOTIF7/MOTIF8 (hereafter referred to as Voice Editor), you can
edit your MOTIF6/MOTIF7/MOTIF8’s voices and effects via your computer. Thanks to the easy-to-
understand graphical interface, you can edit virtually all of the voice parameters of MOTIF6/
MOTIF7/MOTIF8 right from your computer — using the mouse to adjust the virtual knobs, sliders,
and buttons and entering values from the computer keyboard. Finally, all the changes you have
made to your voices can be saved to your computer. If you have saved your edits to a memory
card (SmartMedia) in the computer, you can insert the memory card into your MOTIF6/MOTIF7/
MOTIF8 and its contents can be read directly when the Load file type is set to “Voice Editor.”

representing a Memory in the tone generation block. Each tab lists all the names, numbers and
categories of voices in the selected Memory. Double-clicking on a voice name in the Library
window opens the Edit window for a voice, letting you edit the voice.

You can save your settings as a Library file (*.W2E).

Tabs
Click any of these to view the voice list for the corresponding Memory Bank.

Voice list
This area shows all the voices in the selected Memory as a scrollable list. The name, number
and Category of each voice are shown. You can rearrange the voices by dragging-and-
dropping their voice numbers to a new location. You can rename a voice in Windows by
selecting the voice name, then clicking on it again to enter a new name. On the Macintosh,
you click on the voice name while holding down [control], choose “Edit Voice Name” from the

or right border lines of the window, then dragging the line until the window is as big or small as you
like.

You can view just the names of all voices in the Memory without their “Number” and
“Category” information. To do this, right-click on any part of the voice list and choose “List.”
