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.

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 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan Smart" <bryansmart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <MoAccess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2007 10:20 PM Subject: Re: [MoAccess] qws 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.

Parden the ignorance.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan Smart" <bryansmart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <MoAccess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2007 7:01 AM Subject: Re: [MoAccess] qws 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.
