Open Existing File
When the
Open ... option from
the File menu or the
button on the Toolbar is selected, the following dialog
will appear, allowing a file to be selected.
motif.factory checks to ensure that the selected file is a valid
Motif format file, and an error dialog will appear if the file is not
valid.
The following file types can be loaded:
-
Motif SYSEX Files
-
Motif ES All Files (W7A)
-
Motif ES Voice Editor Files (W7E)
-
Motif ES Arpeggio Files (W7G)
-
Motif ES Pattern Files (W7P)
-
Motif ES Song Files (W7S)
-
Motif ES Voice Files (W7V)
-
Motif ES Wave Files (W7W)
-
Motif ES Rack Voice Editor Files (W9E)
-
Motif S90 ES Voice Editor Files (S7E)
If a file selected for opening is already open, motif.factory will ask
if you want to replace the file that is in memory.
Loading Sample Files
motif.factory will also try and load a corresponding Sample (W8x) file
if one is present in the same directory as the file you are loading.
If, for example, if you load a W7A file and there is a corresponding
W8A file, then the data from both files is loaded and combined. They
are split into seperate files when the data is saved. What this means
is that if you copy waves to a new file, then the sample data for the
waves(if present and loaded) is also copied.
This facility can be controlled by the setting of the
Sample Load Options drop down in
the Misc Preferences tab in
the Preferences Dialog.
If this option is set to
Confirm, then the following dialog is displayed:
If the
Sample Load Options setting is set to
Yes, then the samples are automatically loaded, and
if the
Sample Load Options is set to
No, then the samples are not loaded.
If you select
No, then the samples are not loaded into
motif.factory.
If motif.factory is loading a sample file and the corresponding sample
file does not exist, then the following error message is displayed:
Importing S90 ES Voice Editor Files
If you open an S90 Voice Editor File (S7E), then a W7E file containing
the S90 ES voices is created. Please note that the S90 ES voices have
some additional parameters over and above Motif ES voices, which are
ignored
