If it aint broke, don't fix it.

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.
