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.
                
                Jose.
