It's been a while since I've done it, but press utility, f5, sf4, up arrow and left arrow a few times to make sure you are at top left of screen, and that's the first setting, so press the yes/increase button to set the MIDI to USB. As soon as you change it, if you presss the keys, the motif will start sending out of the USB port. So if it's already selected in your daw and your daw is open with a MIDI track listening, the keys you press should come back to you through your DAW; this is a quick way to test. If you want to save the setting for future uses (so they're not lost after power off), press the store ke. I can't remember for sure, but think you might have to press enter or the inc/yes key.

I want to change from using an outboard interface to the USB to host ports from the Motif to my computer. My outboard interface is not working as designed with a new computer. I need to see if a straight plug in via USB will give me the same results. I am totally blind, so I will need the names of the buttons pushed and the number of times to arrow to get the USB selection. Many Thanks, Grant
