Okay. How do I get to the local mode setting, and I notice that every time I switch to song mode, a guitar voice comes up as the default instrument. Of course I am able to sort of select a number of voices through the keypad on the right, but there isn't as wide of a choice list as I have when I am in voice mode. Darn it all I just wish Sonar would . well . just work with this synthesizer straight out of the box! As yall can see I'm a bit frustrated.

What's its purpose? I thought you said that you should have it switched off when working in Sonar. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bryan Smart To: MoAccess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 7:53 AM Subject: Re: [MoAccess] Sonar not recognizing xs It doesn't sound like the Motif is in the song mode. Push the song button. You don't need to do anything with a remote setting in Utility mode. The remote button turns on and off the control surface mode, which has no affect on recording MIDI tracks.

As an example, when I try and change the patches to prepare the track for recording, the patches on the xs show up fine in Sonar, but whenever I arrow up and down, Sonar doesn't tell the xs to switch patches to match the patch selection. I might arrow to a trumpet patch but I still get a grand piano when I play the xs while I'm in the patch selection box. I downloaded sonar real producer 6, and I'm creating midi-only tracks, no audio. If I recall, the manual says something about turning off remote mode on the midi page under the utility menu? I haven't done that yet. However, doesn't the remote on/off button do the same thing?

You must place checkmarks next to all of the Yamaha ports in order for them to show up as input and output choices on individual tracks. If the ports don't show up in MIDI Devices, then you didn't install the Motif USB drivers, or you didn't install the drivers for the MIDI interface where the Motif is attached.

I downloaded a trial of sonar 6 producer or something like that, haven't used sonar in a long while. For some reason, the xs is not showing up as a midi controler for inputs and outputs. What should I do?
