Yes. This works on the ES.

Is that also possible with the es, or only the xs?

        The other is that, while connected as a USB device, you can use
the
        third virtual MIDI port for the real MIDI in/out on the back of
your
        Motif. So, basically, you can use the Motif's MIDI port for
connecting
        another MIDI device. If you're on a gig, you could connect the
Motif to
        your laptop over USB, then connect another module to the Motif's
MIDI
        out, or connect another keyboard to the Motif's MIDI in. Then,
in Sonar,
        you'd have Yamaha MIDI port 1 (the Motif), and Yamaha MIDI port
3 (your
        extra MIDI module or keyboard).

        With USB, you are abler to do more than just midi, you can also
use the
        remote functions and coming soon, even more. I think there are 3
ports
        that
        the USB uses... I forget what they all do though. I know that a
is midi,
        one
        is remote, and I forget what that other is at the moment. Maybe
Smart
        can
        chime in here and back me up?

        I was wrong then about the insertion fx. I do remember though
that it
        was
        discussed on here a while ago how USB connection has advantages
over
        MIDI.
        Yes, no?

        Really? I'm not sure how this can be. MIDI doesn't have anything
        to
        do with if the Motif uses its insert effects processors or not,
as far
        as I
        know.

        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.
