This question covers a lot of ground.

You should start with the basics.

So your going to only have one chord plugged in between the mo and the computer, the usb cable.

I assume you have the keyboard setup with some sort of amplifier or headphones to hear it.

You first need to install a midi driver on your computer, you can get that here:
http://www.global.yamaha.com/download/usb_midi/

So once that is installed you should have it available when you run cubase. Start a new empty project, create a midi track by right clicking in the track area and select new midi track. Then in the inspector to the left you can set the input of the track to the first mo or usb yamaha midi port. Set channel to 1 then try to record the mo.
If it’s working you should see the midi meter move on the track and some notes should record. Rewind, set the output to the mo, and playback what you recorded.

Hi guys! I’m a new member and i aslo trying to connect my MO6 with Cubase SX3. I have a lot of problems so very soon i’ll ask here

Hi i’m still here....i’m looking how to make work togheter the keyboard PATTERN mode and the Cubase sequencer...how can i “export” all i made in the mo sequencer (in particolar chain pattern) in Cubase? is it possible?

thak you

First, there is no script for the Mo6/8 in cubase so stop looking. The motif ES script is not the same for the Mo6/8.

bummer right....... wrong!!!

“STUDIO CONNECTIONS” software is the answer. To get it go here -

It work like a VST or “OPT” plug in or standalone.You get full accsess to the keyboard.

“Studio Connections” is a joint project lead by Steinberg and Yamaha the aim of Studio Connections is quite simply to offer a more convenient environment that will make using hardware and software easier. The first Phase of Studio Connections was Studio Connections “Recall”, Audio Integration is Phase II.

Audio Integration allows you to use a Studio Manager Component (software editors) as a VST instrument or a VST effect by using the “External Instrument” function which is new to CubaseSX3.1/Nuendo3.1.

By selecting a hardware synthesizer or an effect Processor on the software, you can use it just like software plug-in.

Output of the hardware synthesizer is set up on the Audio mixer in realtime, and you can not only apply the audio effect but use unique audio functions such as mix down or freeze.

Well I hope this answers any questions. Thanks
