Is there a User Performance List (MSB =x, LSB=x) available?
If not, then how is possible for the MOTIF accept performance-bank changes while in Performance mode?
thanks,

You must be in Performance for the MSB/LSB and Program Change to work.
(Changing Modes is a Parameter Change message (Sysex)).
MSB 63, LSB 64 = User 1
MSB 63, LSB 65 = User 2
MSB 63, LSB 66 = User 3
Program Change 0-127

The reason I’m focusing in on the MSB/LSB information is that trying to figure out why the MOTIF will not automatically change from VOICE-mode to Performance-mode or visa-versa via midi program change.
Currently, I have to manually press the VOICE button or Press the PERFORMANCE button. I’d rather have this done automatically when the MOTIF receives a MIDI program change message.
Hey Bad Mister, is this possible?

You cannot change modes with a message that is within the mode... you need a message that is a stage above that mode... It will not let you pull the rug out from under your own feet, so to speak.
Sort of like placing a START command on a MIDI Track - will not work... it most come from a place that is not within the sequence.
The message you are looking for is called a MODE CHANGE message which is in a category of MIDI messages known as PARAMETER CHANGE messages... and is written in SYSEX. So a Program Change can change Programs within the mode that is currently selected; only a MODE CHANGE message can change Modes. Hope that helps.
The MODE change messages for the Motif XS are as follows:
F0 43 10 7F 03 0A 00 01 dd F7
where 'dd' is the data byte
00 = voice mode
01 = performance mode
02 = Pattern mode
03 = Song mode
04 = Master mode
Changing to VOICE mode therefore would be: F0 43 10 7F 03 0A 00 01 00 F7
Changing to PERFORMANCE mode would be: F0 43 10 7F 03 0A 00 01 01 F7
Page 58 of the Data List Booklet #1
Hope that helps.

Hey Bad Mister,
So, could you give me an example of what device that I would use to enter that long string of code that would send Mode Changes to an Motif and/or S80? I have a Yamaha MEP-4 if that would help??
Thanks (again).

A MIDI sequencer in which you can manually enter MIDI events. But the easiest way is to touch the front panel button dedicated for that purpose.
