Hi MO friends,

I wonder, when I connect my MOTIFES8 to an XS Rack with mLAN board (using midi from ES8 to XS Rack) do I get full acess to the new mLAN generation, so I can benefit the full integration of the Cubase 4.5 features. Sorry for my english, but this is a difficult materie. I can use the ES8 as midi controller, controlling the XS rack and then can connect the XS rack via mLAN to a MR816CSX and perhaps the N12 mixer.

Instead of trading in my ES8 for an XS8. 

Friends, incl. Bad Mister, is that not the most efficient/economical way to go for me? tos switch over to the new generation of mLAN etc. etc. etc.

Re: Is the XS rack the gateway to the new generation

i suppose you would have almost all the features as the XS workstation with that setup. You would have the sequencing/sampling covered with the ES workstation, and you would have the sound engine of the XS. you would NOT have the extra sliders/knobs and fancy LCD screen of the XS workstation… and im not familiar with the inputs/outputs of the workstations, so there might be pros and cons in that regard. 

note: the rack xs does NOT come with mLAN16E2 installed… you might already know this

Gutwrench,

I am almost sure that you can order the mLAN16E2 board as an option for the XS rack. Nevertheless I will check it out on the internet.

Thanks for your comments

actually im not sure this is compatable with the rack XS.

does anyone know the answer to that? is mLAN16E2 available for rack XS?  it is not shown on the yamahasynth.com site, just mLAN16E is shown

Gutwrench,

I have downloaded the manual of the XS rack and its 100 percent sure you can buy the mLAN16E2 board as an option for the XS rack.
