I have just loaded Cubase, and the mLAN functionality, into my PC and linked via Firewire to my XS8. I am able to record, but when I hit play, I do not hear any sound. The track screen in Cubase shows that midi data was recorded, and that a signal is being played back, but I can’t hear anything (and yes, my amp is turned on).

Re: XS 8 Cubase Playback Problem
Not hearing anything could simply be a setting… or making sure your are using the correct SEQ SETUP.

Re: XS 8 Cubase Playback Problem
That is correct. You want to use QUICK SEQ SETUP #3. It should turn off the sound of the Motif XS. One of the six critical setup critera controlled by the Quick Sequencer Setup function is LOCAL CONTROL… when working with an external sequencer (like Cubase) it is common to work with the Local Control set to OFF.

Re: XS 8 Cubase Playback Problem
Sorry, the answer will always be a bit incomplete if the information provided does not contain specific details… Let’s see if we can answer some of your questions.
You don’t have to change the active/inactive setting - that is just a status report letting you know what ports are active and inactive. What you want to setup is the IN ALL INPUTS column and that you want to select “MOTIF XS” - it will be identified by name if and only if you have installed the above mentioned Extension v1.4.1… If you have not you want to select “mLAN MIDI IN”
IN is input, OUT is an OUTPUT… It is absolutely logical that the OUTS do not have anything in the Input column - think about it /forums/images/icons/smile.gif alt=
Only when you have things setup properly will the software “know” where to look for INPUT signal… and later where to send OUTPUT signal.
??? Not sure what you mean… to active the setup simply press [ENTER] to execute. |

Your MIDI PORT SETUP should look something like this:

Re: XS 8 Cubase Playback Problem Do you have a stereo audio track in your Cubase project along with all of your MIDI tracks? And is it routed to wherever you want sound to come out? |

Re: XS 8 Cubase Playback Problem
Are you not certain that you have recorded? How can you not be sure? If you have been able to record audio into Cubase using your Motif XS8 and mLAN interface, you should be able to playback the audio using the mLAN and your Motif. You simply need to setup the proper OUTPUT AUDIO Device with Cubase. If you are using the ASIO mLAN to record, the OUTPUT is set as follows:
Wrong on two counts… “Devices > Device Manager” does not really exist. There is “Devices > MIDI Device Manager” (which has nothing to do with your audio as it is concerned with MIDI settings)
Go to DEVICES > VST CONNECTIONS > then select the OUTPUT Tab.. this is where you can select your AUDIO (output) DEVICE, and assign it to its available ports.
