Hello, I’m midiing an external device into the motif es. My problem is that The device is using the midi in port of the es, and I will need that to use it while recording in sonar. I’ll also need the external midi device running while I’m recording in sonar. How can I do this simultaneously if I need the midi in port of the motif for both sonar and the other device I’m midiing into the Motif? I know I can’t keep the ES in USB mode while also using its midi capability. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

You should use MIDI Thru option and set this in Sonar and activate in Yamaha-USB driver control panel.

Okay, I’ll give a detailed explanation of my setup and what I’m doing. Currently, I’m connecting the Motif es via USB to the computer to record into sonar. I have a scale converter which detunes specified notes via midi for ethnic music, hence, quarter notes. So what would be the best solution to use this device while recording into sonar at the same time. How would I specify a midi device like the one I just mentioned in any control panel? Thanks. |
