guys, I’ve been using motif XS with cubase for a while, now i changed to Mac and logic pro and was wondering if there is a quick guide or instructions on how to set up Motif with logic pro? I am interested in both USB and MLan connections, thanks |

Hi Charli, There is a lot of info pertinent to Logic and the whole Motif family in this forum. What steps have you already taken to get things going? Have you installed the drivers yet? |

Hi, I have the Motif XF and want to connect to MacBook Pro with Logic Pro X on Yosemite. I connect both via USB and on the Motif i select USB for Midi and install the Yamaha driver on the Mac.
The new MacBooks don’t have FireWire, but I think it works with Thunderbolt. If I connect the Motif via FireWire is it better than USB? Thank you, greets. |

The USB connection is MIDI only. The FW connection with the FW16e is MIDI and audio. The MIDI operation is the same either way. |

Thanks Meatball I follow the steps from Motif8mine to connect the Motif via USB to Logic and it works in new Midis, but i have old Midis i want to change the Instruments to Motifs internal sounds but it don’t works. If i start the Midifile on Logic the sound comes from Mac und the Motif don’t receive any Data. How can i play the Midifile on Logic and hear the Sounds from the Motif in this ready Midifiles? Motix XF with Logic Pro X on Yosemite via USB Motif is setup DAW Type Logic, and Midi in/out ist setup to USB. In the Quick Setup on SEQ Setup i have the number 3, but i try with all 4 and no reaction. On AMS i create an new Device with the name of my Motif and connect the Port1 out into the left in of the new Device. How i say, if i open a new Project in Logic he ask me what i want to do and if i put External midi with my Motif, it works, but not on the other ready Midifiles. Is there a way to find in Logic the Motif Sounds or must i search MSB and LSB and Programm number to change the Sounds? Please help, need to do this until Weekend. Thanks. |

Ok, i found my mistake, I didn’t know I must change for each channel the internal Logic sound to external midi. But now I resolve this.
