Did you assign each port to the right instruments? For example; go to the midi port that the motif is connected to, either your midi interface, or the usb port; when you are there, for every port/channel combo there is, you have to press tab and set it to motif ess all, do that for all 16 channels on the port that your motif is connected to. Then try again...

I have installed the instrument definition program but I can only get the gm patches. If any one can help I will be a happy man. I thank you very much.
