Hello,

I have a problem and I hope someone can help me here.

I have been using my Motif XF8 for several years now. Its two 1024MB flash boards are packed with lots of additional samples and sounds, all of which I have in use.

Recently I bought a used XF6 that is supposed to be my backup synth in case the XF8 should ever malfunction. As a proper backup the XF6 should also include all the sounds and samples that are on the two flash boards inside the XF8.
In other words - the newer XF6 should be indentical to my older XF8. And I want to have them both working identically at the same time without removing the flash boards each time I change the keyboard.

Please correct me if I am wrong here:

If I want to have both synthesizers ready to be used at the same time and to be identical, then I would need another two 1024MB flash boards for the XF6 with the same samples in the same memory order as loaded on the XF8 right?
Otherwise all the voices and performances that refer to the flash board samples would not find their sample files properly when I want to recover the XF8 on the XF6.

My question would be now: What is the easiest way to copy all the files from the two XF8 flash boards to the two new empty XF6 flash boards?

Is it possible to remove a board in the XF8, to install one of the empty boards next to it and to simply transfer the files? I hope so, because any other way would surely take me several days of work…

Thanks for your answers,

Oliver
