What is the Multi Part Editor?

Multi Part Editor is a convenient way to edit and save the Multi parameters of your MOTIF-RACK

ES. Thanks to its the easy-to-understand graphical interface, you can edit virtually all of the Multi

parameters of the MOTIF-RACK ES 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 Multis can be saved to your computer.

The Multi Part Editor can also be used in connection with devices such as the Yamaha 01X Digital Mixing

Studio or MOTIF ES Music Production Sythesizer, allowing you to operate the Multi Part Editor using real

hardware controls.

You can use this Multi Part Editor as a plug-in for the software below.

About Studio Manager

Studio Manager is a cross-platform application that enables you to start multiple Editors for

controlling YAMAHA hardware products remotely, and to save multiple Editor settings.

For more information, refer to the separate Installation Guide or the Studio Manager PDF manual.

What is Total Recall?

You can save and recall each Editor’s settings in Studio Manager. This enables you to recall all the

settings of multiple devices from Studio Manager and control the entire system using simple

operations. This capability is called the “Total Recall” function.

Also, if you are saving the setup ﬁles or trying to synchronize multiple devices, you can recall all

the settings for multiple devices using Studio Manager. Alternatively, you can recall the settings

only for a certain device using the Editor of the corresponding device.

For more information, refer to the Studio Manager PDF manual.

When checking [From Hardware] from the [Synchronize] menu

be recalled.

Right-click the MOTIF-RACK ES Multi Part Editor icon in the Studio Manager window. Select “Con-

ﬁgure Total Recall,” then select the data to be recalled. The data that can be selected differs

depending on the Editor.

The following data types can be selected in the MOTIF-RACK ES Multi Part Editor.

• All.............................................. Multi, Normal User 1-3, and Drum User Voice data

• Multi .......................................... Multi data

• Normal User 1 Voice ................. Normal User 1 Voice data

• Normal User 2 Voice ................. Normal User 2 Voice data

• Normal User 3 Voice ................. Normal User 3 Voice data

•Drum User Voice....................... Drum User Voice data

(You can select multiple data simultaneously from the Multi, Normal User 1-3, and Drum User

Voices.)

Multi Part Editor Files

Every Multi in the MOTIF-RACK ES can be made up of voices selected from the collection of User

Voices stored in the MOTIF-RACK ES. When a voice is modiﬁed, each Multi that utilizes that voice

will be modiﬁed as well and as a result, your Multis may not sound the way they did when you ﬁrst

made them. This is why Multi Part Editor ﬁles contain not only Multi data (pan, volume, effects and

mixer settings, etc.) but User Voice data as well, ensuring that the voices which were used when

the Multi was made can be saved and recalled.

For example, let’s say you want to play a Multi, but you’ve edited or even overwritten some of the

voices it uses. In this case, if you saved the Multi using Multi Part Editor, you can simply send the

User Voice data from Multi Part Editor back to the MOTIF-RACK ES (page 32). The Multi will

sound just as it did when you saved it.

When transmitting the User Voice data of the Multi Part Editor to the MOTIF-RACK ES, the User Voice data

saved in the MOTIF-RACK ES will be lost.

Each ﬁle contains Multi data and the User

Voice data used by the Multi.

All Multis share the same collection of

User Voices.

About Open Plug-in Technology

Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a new software format that enables you to control MIDI devices

from a music DAW application software. For example, this allows you to start up and operate

various parts of your music system, such as plug-in board editors, and mixing control editors -

directly from an OPT-compatible sequencer, without having to use each separately. OPT also

makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music production

system and making all operations more convenient and seamless.

In addition to the original OPT, there is also Open Plug-in Technology Version 2 (OPT 2), designed

for use with the Total Recall software. Studio Manager is a host application that supports OPT 2.

About the OPT Levels and Overview

The host application and its compatibility with OPT is divided into three levels, as shown below.

Level 1

OPT Panels provides basic support for opening and displaying OPT control panels

that can transmit data via the client’s external MIDI ports. Typically this will allow

basic hardware editor control panels to operate properly.

Level 2

OPT Processors provides support for real-time MIDI processors and panel automa-

tion.

Typically this will allow both real-time and ofﬂine MIDI effects to operate properly and

supply automation to OPT panels.

Level 3

OPT Views provides support for edit views and MIDI processors/panels that require

direct access to client program storage structures. Typically this will allow sophisti-

cated MIDI edit views to be supported.

OPT-compatible plug-in software is connected directly

to an OPT-compatible host application.

Starting the Multi Part Editor

After installing the Multi Part Editor and making the required connections, follow the instructions

below to start the Multi Part Editor.

●

Starting Multi Part Editor from Studio Manager

1. Start Studio Manager as a plug-in within DAW software compatible with Total Recall, or as a

stand-alone application.

2. Start Multi Part Editor from Studio Manager.

For more information, refer to the installation guide and Studio Manager PDF manual.

●

Starting the Multi Part Editor in the sequencer software compatible with OPT as a plug-

in software.

The Multi Part Editor can be used as a plug-in software in any host application compatible with

Open Plug-in Technology (OPT). Refer to the owner’s manual of the host application

(sequencer, etc.) for details on using plug-in software.

For OPT-compatible software, the Multi Part Editor settings will be saved along with the song ﬁle.

1. Start the host application.

2. Select “MOTIF-RACK ES Multi Part Editor” in the host application’s “Plug-in” menu.

All operations of the MOTIF-RACK ES Multi Part Editor can be utilized when running as a plug-

in within Level 2 (Processors) and Level 3 (Views) host applications. Bulk data reception and

remote control are not supported when running within Level 1 (Panels) host applications.

Certain operations may not work as expected if there is no corresponding function in the host

application. The highest level of implementation for the host application is indicated by the OPT logo

which appears along with the version information in the application.

About the OPT 2 Overview

OPT 2 is a plug-in format that enhances OPT Level 1 (Panels)

and adds some convenient functions for use with Total Recall.

In addition to doing Total Recall functions using the Studio

Manager as a host application, you can use Total Recall in a

DAW application (provided it is compatible with Total Recall),

via the Studio Manager.

Plug-in software compatible with

OPT 2 is indirectly connected to

the DAW application compatible

with Total Recall, via the Studio

Manager.

An Example of the Multi Part

Editor in Use

There is no single way to use the many components of the Multi Part Editor. Your editing needs

and preferences may differ; however, the following example gives you a simple step-by-step guide

in how to use the Multi Part Editor. The Part Mixer window is the ﬁrst window to open, so that’s

where the explanation begins.

Before using the Multi Part Editor, you need to set the mode of the MOTIF-RACK ES to the Multi mode.

1. Click “Setup” under “Setup” in the menu bar to open the Setup dialog.

Conﬁgure the parameters in this window to enable communication between Multi Part Edi-

tor and MOTIF-RACK ES. For further information, see page 31.

When using DAW software that is incompatible with OPT or Total Recall:

When starting the Studio Manager as a stand-alone application and using it simultaneously with

sequencer software, open the MIDI-USB Driver dialog and merge (join) the MIDI ports of the sequencer

software with the MIDI ports of the Multi Part Editor (page 9).

2. Transfer the desired User Voices from the MOTIF-RACK ES (page 33) or open a Voice Edi-

tor ﬁle (page 17) with the Multi Part Editor.

Once User Voices are updated in the Multi Part Editor, they can be used the next time Multi Part Editor

is started. If new voices are created or edited with the MOTIF-RACK ES or Voice Editor, the user voices

must again be updated by transferring them from the MOTIF-RACK ES or opening a Voice Editor ﬁle.

If you don’t intend to use User Voices in the Multi, you can skip this step.

3. Transfer the desired Multi from the MOTIF-RACK ES into the Multi Part Editor. For more

information, see “Receive Multi Bulk” on page 19.

If you intend to use a default Multi, you can skip this step. In this case, transmit the Multi (page 18) in

order to synchronize the data in the Multi Part Editor and MOTIF-RACK ES.

(1) Select the Multi data you want to send to the Multi Part Editor on the MOTIF-RACK ES.

(2) Select “Receive Multi Bulk” under “Setup” in the menu bar.

4. Select a voice for each part.

(1) Click on the voice name or bank name for each part to display the “Voice List”.

(2) Select the voice you want to assign to the part.

5. Set parameters for each part in the Part Mixer window.

Click the [DETAIL] button for each part and for the Common Section to make further set-

tings.

6. Save your edited data by clicking the [Save] button in the toolbar.

You can save a Multi for each of your songs. When you want to play a song, open the Multi

Part Editor ﬁle (*.M3E) corresponding to the song. It will automatically be transmitted to the

MOTIF-RACK ES. No further settings are necessary.

Additionally, when running Multi Part Editor as a plug-in under a OPT-compatible host appli-

cation such as SQ01, you can save your Multi Part Editor data as part of the host applica-

tion’s song data.

• When starting the Multi Part Editor from the Studio Manager, you can save the Multi Part Editor

data into the Session ﬁle of Studio Manager.

• When using DAW (digital audio workstation) software compatible with Total Recall and the Studio

Manager together, the Multi Part Editor data will be saved into the Project ﬁle (Song ﬁle) of the

DAW.

Notice when starting the Studio Man-

ager as a stand-alone application

When starting the Studio Manager as a stand-alone application, you’ll also need to have the

sequencer running simultaneously so that you can check the Part or Voice sounds edited in the

Multi Part Editor or Voice Editor by using an external keyboard.

As shown in the example below, set the MIDI through function (echo setting) of the sequencer to

direct the MIDI messages from an external keyboard to the MOTIF-RACK ES.

Merging the MIDI inputs/outputs when

using DAW software that is incompati-

ble with OPT or Total Recall

When starting the Studio Manager as a stand-alone application and using it simultaneously with

sequencer software, open the MIDI-USB Driver dialog and merge (join) the MIDI ports of the

sequencer software with the MIDI ports of the Multi Part Editor.

(1) Display the “YAMAHA USB-MIDI Driver” dialog.

Windows XP

From the [Start] menu, select [Control Panels]

→

[MIDI-USB Driver].

Mac OS X

From the Apple menu, select [System Preferences]

→

[YAMAHA USB-MIDI].

The MIDI-USB Driver icon will not be displayed if MOTIF-RACK ES is not properly connected to the com-

puter via USB, or if MOTIF-RACK ES is not turned on.

The “0” displayed in the port name (0-1, 0-2, etc.) indicates the number of the MIDI device connected to

the computer via USB. Match this number to the “Device Name” in the “YAMAHA USB-MIDI Driver” dia-

log.

(2) In the “YAMAHA USB-MIDI Driver” dialog, merge the output ports.

• OUT

Change the settings to connect the two output ports which are used by the sequencer

and Multi Part Editor to MOTIF-RACK ES input port 1.

For example, change the settings as shown in the illustrations below when using the

output port 1 and output port 2 in the Studio Manager (Multi Part Editor) and

sequencer.

(3) Click [OK] to close the dialog.
