"Inspiration in a Flash" data
You will find the Inspiration in a Flash data divided into three files that will each load (individually) into the RAM of the XF. This will allow auditioning of the data to choose what will best meet your musical needs so you may then start creating your custom library that will eventually reside on your (included) FL512M flash memory board.
Video demonstrations of all 6 Yamaha apps for iPad/iPhone
As you are probably aware of now, Yamaha has introduced no less than 6 iPad/iPhone apps for the Motif (and other Yamaha synths as well). The demos of these Yamaha apps will show you first-hand which apps might be most useful for your particular needs.
