Well, ideally, your music should start as midi sequences as they'd be easier to edit. You can then track your sequence down to audio using MLan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Benjamin Blatter" <b.blatter@xxxxxxxxxx>

But I want to record in the audio sequencer of Sonar. This hasn't anything todo with MIDI, has it?----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Kchao" <thisischris89@xxxxxxxxx>To: <MoAccess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 10:49 PM Subject: Re: [MoAccess] Motif XS, MIDI ProblemNo, 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>To: <MoAccess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 4:55 PM Subject: Re: [MoAccess] Motif XS, MIDI ProblemReally? 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.----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Kchao" <thisischris89@xxxxxxxxx>To: <MoAccess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 9:14 PM Subject: Re: [MoAccess] Motif XS, MIDI ProblemHi, 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 whenusing QWS. This is only because you can't easily access them without theinstrument 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>To: <MoAccess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 3:55 PM Subject: Re: [MoAccess] Motif XS, MIDI ProblemNever 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?

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.

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?

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

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?

If so, import it using the options>instruments>port number/channel>define>import.Thenyou 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.

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
