How can I take what I’ve recorded in the Motif XS and dump it all in pro tools 8 at the same time (instead of recording each individual track one at a time)? Is there a certain piece of equipment I need to do this, and if so could someone explain to me how to do it?

Man thanx! or Woman!

The MLan16e2 expansion board is what I had to achieve the same purpose, when I had my XS.  I, personally, was never able to get it to work for me, but so many others have found success with it.  So, maybe the problem as with MY lack of understanding - or implementing something...lol.

At any rate, I have heard that the above mentioned expansion board has been discontinued, but seem to remember hearing that the FW16e board (for the XF line) can also be utilized in the XS.  I will certainly be trying that option again, and wish you luck with your aims.

Thanx for the shot of info. I’ll look into learning more about the FW16e board. Maybe I’ll be able to find it useful.

Thanx again!

You will not be able to use the mLAN16E2 and its 16 simultaneous audio bus outputs with Pro Tools 8.

It took until the ninth version of Pro Tools for it to finally be able to use an ASIO driver… What this means is that with Pro Tool 9, you can now use any audio interface you desire with Pro Tools software. Previous to version 9, you had to use a DigiDesign audio interface (or MAudio). The big announcement about Pro Tool 9 means that you can finally connect the audio device of your choice to Pro Tools…

The Motif XS uses a driver that handles both MIDI and audio via a single Firewire connection between your synth and computer. If you only have Pro Tools 8 do not even bother with attempting to transfer audio via firewire.

You would have to have version 9 if you want to use Pro Tools.

Sorry about the misinformation I imparted to you.  I hadn’t even paid any attention to your DAW and, quite honestly, know knowing about Pro Tools anyway.  But I am glad that Bad_Mister gave you what you needed to know.

Good luck.
