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.
