When you use the motif via midi through sonar, you lose the insertion fx that 
you have on the first 8 tracks of a project. If you use it through USB, you can 
get those fx and it sounds alot nicer. I'm not sure if that would fix the 
problem you're currently having, but just thought i'd pass that bit of info 
along.

  There's no real reason, except this is the set up I've had for a while.  I 
only use the connection to create sequences in Sonar using the XS, and to 
record sequences from sonar into the XS using the record all tracks function.  
I only change my set up once every 5 or so years.  Once I'm confortable with a 
set up, I don't like to change it, even if it's, potentially, for the better.  
For example, I still use a Layla20 sound card.  It records at a lower 
resolution than many more modern cards, like the Layla24, and a more recent 
Echoaudio card called Audiofire.  However, this set up works fine for me, and I 
don't spend have of my studio time fixing connection problems.  I do have a p4 
computer, not a comodor64!  However, I don't have a dual or quad core computer 
cause, once again, mine works fine.

  I'm just curious: why are you connecting your motif via Midi rather than USB?

    Why doesn't my XS listen to the Sonar volume setting on midi channel 1?  I
    have my XS connected to my computer via midi through my Layla sound card.
    In song mode, the volume on channel 1 is always at the highest level (127).
    It won't change.  The volume for all of the other channels change as I
    adjust them in Sonar.  I use Sonar 2.2.  Yes, that's right, 2.2.  It works
    fine for me.  I have dealt with this in the past by simply setting the
    keyboard not to receive control data, and creating templates on the keyboard
    with the settings I want.  However, I'm curious to know why this is
    happening.  I remember it also happening with my Yamaha S80.  I dealt with
    the problem the same way.  I don't think it happens with the Karma, but I
    don't remember because, with the Karma, I always disabled control data
    without even checking if this was a problem.  Thanks.

    Jose.
