Using Display Templates
Version 1.50 of the MOTIF XS firmware saw the introduction of a new feature for customizing the design of
displays using display templates. Yamaha has prepared a range of display templates for use with this
feature. In order to make use of these templates, you will need to transfer them to your MOTIF XS using the
network file-sharing function or a USB flash-memory device. Following the steps outlined below, you can
then use these display templates to customize the appearance of MOTIF XS displays.
