In anyevent, you have to have MIDI flowing in both directions. A MIDI THRU at some point in the chain seems like a reasonable option. That THRU should probably go from the THRU of the Motif to the IN of the interface. It's been years since I used a THRU port but that seems reasonable until someone corrects me.

Or, you could use a MIDI THRU port on the motiv into the interface, I guess. -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike Christer Sent: Sunday, March 08, 2009 3:25 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: midi setup P'raps, you could use a midi merge? ----- Original Message ----- From: Omar <mailto:omarbinno@xxxxxxxxx> Binno To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, March 08, 2009 8:07 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: midi setup Hmm, that complicates things, because I'm also using an external midi device to send some midi signals into the motif, so the midi in port of the motif is being occupied by this other device. Any suggestions?

I'm going midi out from the motif to the midi in of my audio interface. What should i check and uncheck in the midi devices inputs and outputs in sonar? i'm not getting any sound right now. Thanks.
