I loaded some new sounds (Inspire_bnk2RAM.n3.X3A) on my Motif XF and now I can't load my "SONGS.n3.X3S" file anymore. Same message "illegal file" appears each time. Can somebody please help me?
Thank you in advance!

A .X3S file is a Motif XF All Song file. You must use the File TYPE = ALL SONG or SONG. You don't say what File Type you are attempting to use to load this data. Hopefully you used all Presets or Mixing Voices because your data in a .X3S will not contain User Voices.

Dear Bad Mister thank you for your quick reply.
I tried with File Type ALL SONGS when I got the message "Illegal File". I don't know what I am doing wrong right now since I can't find Type ALL SONGS on the LIST anymore, although I have my .X3S file on my USB stick. The same message appears even if I try to load my .X3A or .X3V files.

It may sound fairly obvious, but you have to be in SONG mode to load/save a Song.

It works now. Thanks!
