Yamaha MOTIF XS7 Manuel D’Utilisation

n If desired, save the edited and stored Voices to a USB 

storage device connected to the USB TO DEVICE 

connector or a computer connected to the network to 

which the MOTIF XS is also connected. Keep in mind that

device; however, we still recommend that you save or 

archive all important data to an external device. Refer to
