Is it possible to record (MIDI Only) on Cubase AI6, simultaneously two Motifs (XF and XS) each playing in Pattern Mode 4 tracks and synchronized with one another; that is Cubase AI would be the Master and the Motifs the slaves; from Cubase I could start, stop, rewind, record, FFW, mute etc. any or all tracks of either Motif’s sequencer.
If anyone knows how to do it please let me know I would greatly appreciate it as I don’t.

You should try this:
Cubase can send MTC to any MIDI port. Use this section to specify the MIDI ports to which
MTC is routed. Devices that can lock to MTC will chase Cubase’s timecode position.
Both Motifs should be connected to computer via USB and both MIDI devices should be activated in Cubase “Device setup > MIDI Port Setup”.
Than in Cubase select “Transport > Project Synchronization Setup”. Choose “MIDI Clock Destinations”.
You should see there both Motifs’ MIDI drivers and select both.
Also check option “MIDI Clock Follows Project Position” to ensure that the MIDI clock device follows Cubase when looping, locating, or jumping while playing.
Now you should in MIDI tracks activate recording button for both keyboards or you could try with one MIDI track set to “All MIDI Inputs”.
Hope that’s this could help you.
