No, I'm afraid not. Generally, midi can have up to 128 sounds per bank. You can choose a different bank in QWS or whatever sequencer you're using, just like the way you would conventionally call up sounds on the motif's front pannel. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Benjamin Blatter" <b.blatter@xxxxxxxxxx>

Really? Let me explain what I'm thinking:
MIDI has only 128 sounds. But when you record Audio sounds, par example through the MLan connection, you can use every voice of the whole motif, I guess about 1000? And also the arpeggiator and of course the effects which makes the sounds of the XS so real.

Hi,
If i understand you correctly, I think you're under the impression that you don't have the ability to play all the patches in the motif when using QWS. This is only because you can't easily access them without the instrument definition or actually knowing the bank/patch numbers. Using sonar is not going to give you access to more sounds on the motif. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Benjamin Blatter" <b.blatter@xxxxxxxxxx>

Never mind, in this case I should concentrate more on sonar and audio connection. I realised that you can't play the greath waveforms of the motif XS, when using the MIDI sounds.
How do you move in Sonar through your recorded sounds? Is it simple to delete mistakes?

Ooops. I didn't catch that you wanted to use the Motif with QWS. This
version only works with Sonar.

There isn't an instrument definition list for QWS. If one is made, you
might have to be the one to make it. There aren't many QWS users when
compared to something like Sonar, and there are a smaller number of
those QWS users that have a Motif XS. If you make instrument
definitions, though, I'll be glad to post them.

Ow, I'm so stupid. I'm a little bit more then blind ;-) Thank you.

I'm a beginner in this stuff and maybewrong. But I think, this list
isn't usable yet. I can't import it in QWS. I opened it and saw that a
few things are missing, like bank numbers.

Does this list work in sonar?

Hey, come on. How can you not know where the instrument definitions are
located? They're in the Resources section on MoAccess.info, and I only
talk about them two or three times a week <smile>.

Unfortunately jaws and cubase don't work too good, sonar is the only
most accessible package you'll find...  I did try googling the sx ins
file and couldn't find anything, so the other alternative is to use the
data list for the sx and look at bank numbers and voice numbers and
stuff and send them to sonar that way, by inserting a patch change even
or something...I'm surprised, I'd imagine someone would have made one by
now...

HTH, D!J!X!

Hi!
No, I don't have the instrument definitions for the XS. I think, it
isn't available yet. Par example on motifator.com you can find these
lists for any Motifs, but not for the XS.

I guess, I have to wait. Anyway, I also want to record audio tracks. I
haven't sonar. But with my motif XS I got Cubase AI. Is this program
also good for Jaws?

Hello, do you have the sx's instrument definitions for sonar?  If so,
import
it using the options>instruments>port number/channel>define>import.

Then

you can use  the track properties to navigate to the specific bank,
and select the specific instrument.  They should be labeled; at least
on the es file they are labeled, as pre1-6, user1-3, plg1-3, pre
drums, user drums, etc etc. If you haven't gotten the sx ins file,
search for it on google (I'm not sure if it's even available yet; I
would imagine so) or if you have it and haven't imported, let me know
if you need help with it.

HTH, D!J!X!

Hi!
You're so greath! That was the problem! Thank you very much!

Do you know, which Program or bank Number are in MIDI used to create
Drums?
Par example, I want to add Drums to a song.
I know that mostly Drums are on kanal 10. But which program?

Are you in song or pattern mode in the motif sx?  You have to be in
multitimberal  mode, which are song or pattern, in order to hear more



than



1
instrument/voice out of the motif...

Subject: [MoAccess] Motif XS, MIDI Problem

Hi Everyone!

Finally I got my Motif XS 8! I waited since July ...

My Problem: I installed the USB Driver for MIDI Connection. But the
MIDI-In doesn't work probperly. I can always only hear one
instrument.
My biggest wish: I would like to open MIDI-Files with the Quick
Windows Sequencer  QWS, modify them and create own songs.

I already activated the USB to Host in the Motif XS. Is there
something else I should do?

Kind regards
Benjamin
