Omar, Kevin is right! The built-in sequencer in the motif only allows for 16 track at channels 1 through 16 respectively. You might want to think about combining tracks 17 - 30 onto track 10 (chn 10) or split all of your drum parts between track 11 (chn 11) and track 10 (chn 10) the motif es will let you do that.

The tracks play fine through sonar, but when i load the file into the motif and play it from there, they will not play. These are tracks 17-30. --- nicaise@xxxxxxx wrote: > Hi, > > A number of things could be happening--- Let's start with the most > obvious: Did you check to see that these tracks do actually have data > on them?
