Messagei can't help you much because i have never used that keyboard, but if you already checked instrument defs and track output, and midi channel, and track midi input, and the input echo is on ,then check your audio connections, sometimes i have gone crazy looking for solutions inside the computer and then i find that my keyboard had the power off or that my mixer channel was all the way down or something like that .----- it can happen to everyone eventually. i hope it helps, good luck Original Message ----- From: Omar Binno To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007 9:09 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: midi setup I'm not using midi, I'm using the USB connection.

The Motif banks and patches are appearing.

If you try to access a bank that doesn't exist, you probably won't hear anything.

I did all the usual stuff; ins def files, outputs, inputs, etc. I'm not getting any sound however. When I went to delete the ins def files for my roland xv5080 which I'm not longer using with sonar, a message came up that said "these instruments are still being used by one or more ports, do you still want to delete them?" I clicked on okay, but I'm still getting no sound from the motif. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Omar Binno
