I don't think that you'll like it, but its still around.
Google for "ping dxi".

Hey Gord, is this metronome still around? I'd upgrade to a newer
version, but money is an issue here...and of course the school who
bought the copy won't upgrade it either so i'm screwed...

There was an audio metronome called ping that was developed by one of
the guys on the sonar beta team, norman something or other. Back then,
I did actually correspond with him and he did get most of the controls
working within a standard windows dialog box. But yes, you are
certainly encouraged to upgrade to a newer version of Sonar.

Ooops. Then, you should keep using the MIDI metronome.
There are some plug ins that will produce an audio metronome for
you, but they pretty much all suck. Back when I was on Sonar 4, and was
trying to create a softsynth -only setup, I tried out several of those
audio metronome plug ins, but they all had issues. They wouldn't produce
a count-in, some would produce glitchy clicking, others were
inaccessible. The audio metronome in newer versions of Sonar fixed that
completely. Best to use MIDI until you upgrade Sonar.
BTW: Its too bad I didn't know that you were stuck on Sonar 3.
In August, Cakewalk was running an upgrade special for customers of
earlier versions of Sonar. You could upgrade any version of Sonar to
Sonar 6 for just $79.

What if I'm still using sonar 3, which i really am, so there's
no audio metronom, wouldn't that be the only choice? Or is there some
kind of plugin that I can use to do that? it's lots of work, give up a
channel, give up a track, etc etc...
Thanks, D!J!X!

Rod, you don't want all ports enabled. This could possibly be
your problem.
Motif port 1 is used for the keyboard, controllers, and for
allowing Sonar to play sounds on the Motif. This is the port that you'd
get if you hooked up the Motif to the computer using a MIDI interface
and the basic MIDI in/out jacks on the back of the Motif.
Port 2 is used by the Motif when its working in control surface
mode.
Port 3 allows you to access another MIDI keyboard or module that
is connected to the MIDI in and out jacks on the back of the Motif. So,
in addition to being able to use the Motif as a MIDI device when it is
connected to the computer over either USB or mLAN, you can also use the
Motif as a single port MIDI interface for another device.
On the Motif classic and ES, I think that ports 4, 5, and 6 let
you have direct access to the PLG cards. In this way, it is like each of
the PLG cards are their own separate MIDI module.
In Sonar, you should only enable the ports that you need. For
example, you'd never need input from anything other than ports 1 and 2.
If you don't have PLG cards, and don't chain MIDI devices off of the
Motif, then only enable ports 1 and 2 for output.
Also, you should always use an audio metronome. Using a MIDI
metronome is the old school way of working. It requires that you give up
one of your 16 MIDI channels to serve as the metronome. That isn't a
good idea.

Rod, to my knowledge, no. You should be able to just send. On
all channels in a port. Maybe try reinstalling the driver, or do a reset
on the motif?

Damon:
Thanks for the info. I have done all that, though. I am quite
shock as to why only one port is working when I have done the same for
all of the other ports. That's why I hate configuring these things after
a fresh install.
May I possibly have to mess with some menus to tell the keyboard
to send on all ports? Anyone know how to do that please if this may be
the case?

OK, did you select the motif as in and out? You have to
assign the midi instrument definition to the midi port, too. Also, make
sure your midi channels are correct and put the motif into song or
pattern mode.

Subject: [MoAccess] Motif ES USB not working
Hello guys:
I have downloaded the USB driver for the motif es,
installed it, but I am getting no sound. I have also followed the
instructions to activate the USB on the Motif es, but to no avail.
The Midi activity is being shown on my taskbar.
I have also installed and configured my Instrument
definition for the Motif es.
I noticed that in the midi devices dialog box, there is
only one option to select the motif es8. As for input, it appears that
it only goes to motif 1-4. Could it be that I am not receiving input
sound? I was under the assumption that by selecting the motif es only,
as the only option given, it would work for both input and output.
Please help; I desperately want to get this fix!
Thanks.
