Maybe I should be a little more precise. I guess I got a little too excited
about the new board to be clear. Has anyone done a description of the XS as
far as location of buttons and such? I have Bryans tutorial but I don't see
a list of controls in there.
Thanks to all
Oscar

Well the day came. I just got my XS8 board. I have been looking at the
resources on the mo access site and cant find a tutorial for the XS and I
seem to remember someone asking a question about it so I am guessing that it
exist. Can anyone point me in the rite direction as well as any other
resources for the XS? Thanks in advanced
A very excited Oscar

Hi Oscar. Welcome to the list. If you don't know about it, please check out
www.MoAccess.info. That web site has lots of info that will be of use to
you.
The mLAN card makes it possible to hook up the Motif to your computer over a
single Firewire cable. Over this one cable, you can control the Motif
through MIDI. This lets you use the Motif together with software on the
computer like Sonar or QWS for creating music. You can also transfer digital
audio between the computer and Motif, so that you can record the Motif
directly into programs like SOnar. This audio capability also lets you use
the Motif like an audio interface for the computer. You can record the
microphone input of the Motif into Sonar.
It is very complicated, but very exciting.
Bryan

Hi to all, I am new to the list and I guess I would like to introduce
my-self. I have been a performing musician for 20 years now. I recently
started getting in to recording and now I have sonar with ct and am getting
an sx keyboard very soon. I would like to know if when I get my Motif, I
should also get some of the add-ons such as the Mland card or any other
components that you all may suggest. Is there a resource to find out about
the MLand capabilities on the sx8? In other words, what can it do for us?
Thanks for this great resource and
I hope to become an asset to this list
Oscar Corella

Hi.
The ethernet port is only used for accessing files that are saved on a
computer. In order to use mLAN, you need to buy an add on card for the
Motif.

Hello every one!
I am new to the list. I just bought a Motif XS7. I found an Ethernet port on
the back. Is that the Mlan port you're talking about Bryan, or do I have to
get a card to convert the port?
Look forward to exchanging great info on the Mo, Vinny

In a full DAW software package like Sonar, Pro Tools, Cubase, etc, you can
have tracks that are dedicated to MIDI sequence information, and you also
have other tracks that play audio that is synchronized to the MIDI tracks.
So, in Sonar, for example, I can make a 16 track MIDI sequence for the
Motif, and also put a huge number of audio tracks along side those MIDI
tracks with vocals, live instruments, etc.
Actually, it can get a bit more complicated than that. With the mLAN card,
what I actually have in Sonar is quite a bit more. I have 16 MIDI tracks to
play instrument voices on the Motif. I have 8 stereo audio tracks where the
instrument sounds from the Motif are carried into Sonar, so that I can mix
them (apply eq, effects, and other processing that goes beyond what is
already built into the Motif). I use several software synthesizers, and
these are controlled from MIDI tracks, but produce their sound on dedicated
audio tracks. Finally, I have several general purpose audio tracks. Some
audio tracks are routed together into a submix for recording background
vocals, others are preconfigured for special tasks like recording from the
XS's vocoder. Besides just being able to sequence in Sonar, you can use
software synthesizers, record audio, edit all of it, mix all of it, master
all of it, and save a version that is ready for burning on a CD or encoding
to an MP3. QWS is a powerful and snappy sequencer, but a sequencer is just
the first step along the way to a complete production.

Bryan, why would you want a midi sequencer to record audio? Parden the
ignorance.

There is a link on the QWS home page to an e-mail list of QWS users.
James Bowden, the author is on there. Maybe they can help you.

hi
I'm not sure how the dos are supposed ot help I have looked thouirgh
them thoughly. if you go into the note editor it say nothing pressing tab
get you close insert delte edit snap and memo you can get a list of notes
starting c3 and go up and down this ther is a field called start which I
think is in the edit window. The docxs say alt right arrow hsoudl go to the
next note but I can't find anyway to find out what it is teh list just say
c3 c#3 etc. the docs say that ther is a status bar adn that notes a
represented by horizontal lines which isn't very helpful to a screen reader
I cna't get a list of the notes however I try. this doesn't actually seem
very accessible. don't know about sonare I have'nt tried that yet.

The note and event editors are completely accessible, but you haven't looked
at the manual to see how they work. They don't work like you probably
expect. They aren't lists that can be navigated with the arrows like in
Cakewalk/Sonar. There are dedicated keys to move from note to note, event to
event, etc. Once you're on a note or event, there are other hotkeys that are
used to change the note, velocity, duration, etc.
There is a huge amount of F1 help in QWS. Press F1 in the event editor and
see what you get.
QWS can't record audio, but it is the most accessible MIDI sequencer that
has ever been on any computer.
