The Motif stock sounds are easy to use as long as those preprogrammed internal sounds are used as is. While there are many resources on learning the basic functions of the Motif, I have created my own documentation for specific tasks because I found some processes counter-intuitive. This is in no small part due to the Yamaha nomenclature, the structure of its internal User RAM, and the organization of the information-loaded LCD on the ES8.

STOCK DX7 PATCHES SERIES
I have enjoyed exploring and deciphering Yamaha documentation over the years. I naively thought that since the DX7 was arguably one of the most successful run of synthesizers (at around 160,000 units sold between 19), the documentation of doing a data dump to the Motif series of workstations would be clearly detailed and plentiful. I was wrong on both counts therefore, I’m documenting my experience for myself as much as anyone else still utilizing this technology. We play a number of 80’-era songs. I am compelled to share some thoughts on this process with my fellow keyboardists. After having utilized my Yamaha Motif ES8 since 2006, I acquired the Yamaha PLG150-DX expansion board from a fellow E-bay member for the additional polyphony a couple years ago. I planned to initiate a System Exclusive dump of 64 patches from my trusty Yamaha DX7 from the mid-1980s and finally completed the protocol. I have several vintage synths. As their original owner, they have been long-retired from the road, so I wanted to explore how I can add some of my classic FM synthesis patches to the sound of The Class Action Band.
