Well, I solved my problem, but there's still an academic question out there.
I moved the piano in track 1 of Sonar to another track, 13, and assigned it
to midi channel 1.  It now responds to the volume control.  So, the problem
is not on midi channel 1, but rather on Sonar's track 1.  At this point it's
academic, I will just not use track 1, but I do still wonder why this is.

Cable from computer to keyboard. Must first download Yamaha Universal
MIDI driver from YamahaSynth.com, but is easy setup.

mLAN does the same thing over a Firewire cable, but also provides 11
stereo (or 22 mono) channels of digital I/O for routing audio in to, or
out of, DAW apps like Sonar.

So, to use the USB connection instead of midi, I can just connect a
cable
from the computer to the keyboard, or do I need the optional lan
adaptor?

With USB, you are abler to do more than just midi, you can also use the
remote functions and coming soon, even more. I think there are 3 ports
that
the USB uses... I forget what they all do though. I know that a is midi,
one
is remote, and I forget what that other is at the moment. Maybe Smart
can
chime in here and back me up?

I was wrong then about the insertion fx. I do remember though that it
was
discussed on here a while ago how USB connection has advantages over
MIDI.
Yes, no?

        Really? I'm not sure how this can be. MIDI doesn't have anything
to
do with if the Motif uses its insert effects processors or not, as far
as I
know.

        When you use the motif via midi through sonar, you lose the
insertion fx that you have on the first 8 tracks of a project. If you
use it
through USB, you can get those fx and it sounds alot nicer. I'm not sure
if
that would fix the problem you're currently having, but just thought i'd
pass that bit of info along.

                There's no real reason, except this is the set up I've
had
for a while.  I only use the connection to create sequences in Sonar
using
the XS, and to record sequences from sonar into the XS using the record
all
tracks function.  I only change my set up once every 5 or so years.
Once
I'm confortable with a set up, I don't like to change it, even if it's,
potentially, for the better.  For example, I still use a Layla20 sound
card.
It records at a lower resolution than many more modern cards, like the
Layla24, and a more recent Echoaudio card called Audiofire.  However,
this
set up works fine for me, and I don't spend have of my studio time
fixing
connection problems.  I do have a p4 computer, not a comodor64!
However, I
don't have a dual or quad core computer cause, once again, mine works
fine.

                I'm just curious: why are you connecting your motif via
Midi
rather than USB?

                        Why doesn't my XS listen to the Sonar volume
setting
on midi channel 1?  I
                        have my XS connected to my computer via midi
through
my Layla sound card.
                        In song mode, the volume on channel 1 is always
at
the highest level (127).
                        It won't change.  The volume for all of the
other
channels change as I
                        adjust them in Sonar.  I use Sonar 2.2.  Yes,
that's
right, 2.2.  It works
                        fine for me.  I have dealt with this in the past
by
simply setting the
                        keyboard not to receive control data, and
creating
templates on the keyboard
                        with the settings I want.  However, I'm curious
to
know why this is
                        happening.  I remember it also happening with my
Yamaha S80.  I dealt with
                        the problem the same way.  I don't think it
happens
with the Karma, but I
                        don't remember because, with the Karma, I always
disabled control data
                        without even checking if this was a problem.
Thanks.
