Hi ive started making beats with the motif xs, using a MPC to sequence everything. I have been trying to change the volume and reverb of a synth lead when making a beat but nothing happens when turning on the knobs, i read in the manual that u have to use a sound in the user bank to change anything. Tried in Voice and multi section but nothing happends.

Re: Knobs dont work...
There is really nothing special you have to do to activate the Knobs… however, recognize that operating the Knobs may have little or no effect on some Voices.

Also i noticed that when i record something and try to fix the volume, the volume goes up back to where it was, to the highest volume 127, when i press play on the MPC.

Re: Knobs dont work...
Organ sounds (like organ in the real world) do not respond to velocity. Organs are always fixed in response to velocity… it matter not how hard you hit the keys on an organ; Organists use a voume pedal to control the output level.

Re: Knobs dont work...
No… I suggest that if you cannot adjust the volume using the knobs, that you disconnect your MIDI configuration to your MPC (I cannot tell if you have this configured correctly or not) but if your knobs are not adjusting the volume or the Cutoff and Resonance of the filter you need to determine that, first - separate from your MPC configuration.

In Utility, go thru all the modes and make sure that all instances of ‘Local control” are set to ON. If you have connectivity to your computer, you can save each of your multi’s as individual files. Choose file > save as for each. If you do this, then perform the factory reset as Bad Mister noted before.

Re: Knobs dont work...
Basic MIDI stuff probably… a MIDI tone engine will only do what it is told. So obviously there is a message in your track data that is telling it to return to the original Volume.

Re: Knobs dont work...
I talked to some guys in another forum and they wrote about assigning cc07 in the motif. I Looked through the manual and searched through my motif rack but didnt find anything.

Re: Knobs dont work...
Control Change 007 is not something you need to assign. If you send it from your controller or from your sequencer it will control the volume of the receiving PART. It is a MIDI channel message. This means that if you send cc007 on MIDI channel 12, the PART of your Motif Rack XS MULTI set to receive on MIDI channel 12 will respond.
