Computer sequencers don't work with any keyboard out of the box. There
is always tweaking and configurating. I'm sorry that you're frustrated,
but this is complicated stuff. If you want to learn how it all works,
then you'll need to be patient, reason things out, read manuals, and
experiment.
You can switch local echo off by using the sequencer quick setup
function on the Motif. Press Seq Setup and press F3 to bring up the
quick set page. You can turn the dial to select a quick set template.
Template 1 should be used when you're working with just the Motif.
Template 3 should be used when you're working with the computer. Dial to
the template that you want, press enter to load it, and then press exit
a few times to go back out to song mode.
When you switch to song mode, the reason that you're hearing a guitar is
because you're tuned to one of the built-in demos. Turn the dial until
you hear a piano. That will be a blank song, and that is where you
should set the Motif before using Sonar.
Oh, and when you're in Sonar, you don't use the buttons on the right to
select sounds. If you start pushing buttons on the right, you'll most
likely just call up different songs all together.

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.

Then what does the remote mode do? What's its purpose? I
thought you said that you should have it switched off when working in
Sonar.

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.

I got the midi ports on the xs to be recognized
in sonar, but now whenever I try and record or playback something, I get
no metronome and nothing from the xs. 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?

The MIDI ports for the Motif appear in
Options|MIDI Devices. 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.

Hi. 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?
