I’m using the motif rack XS editor inside the studio manager with Cubase AI 4, but when I open the program and try to make it go “online” I get a “time-out” error.
I don’t know if this information helps, but I was using an mbox2 and I had some problems while trying to make it go “online” for some time, but after some struggle I managed to do it, but now I’m using an audiophile card, and things are a little bit more complicated Any kind of help would be gratly appreciated thx |

We will make the following assumptions (since you did not provide the details):
_ You are using a WINDOWS XP computer
_ We are also going to assume you have some kind of MIDI keyboard controller connected to the 5-pin MIDI IN jack on the back of the Motif-Rack XS (although you don’t say)…
When you launch Cubase AI4.5.2 go to DEVICES > STUDIO MANAGER and when you launch the Motif-Rack XS Editor:
MIDI Keyboard In = Yamaha Motif-R XS-3
PORT 1 = Yamaha Motif-R XS-1
Once the SETUP is configured bring the Editor ONLINE. Let us know |

Thx, that part was confusing me because I was using a different setup with the mbox.

Yey! but now I have another problem, midi data is being trasfered, but when I play the keyboard it doesn’t make any sound, but when I click at the keyboard in the software it works.
MIDI Keyboard In = Delta AP midi
PORT 1 = Yamaha Motif-R XS-1
what should I do to get the sound when I play my kb controller? thx in advance |

in Cubase , for Voice mode, all voices go by default on Midi Chanel 1. so for midi channel 1 you have to select Midi Out the Motif XS Rack 1. In Multi, you have to select Midi In - your midi keyboard and Midi Out - the motif, for every Midi Channel you are using. |

If you are using your keyboard controller plugged into your soundcard, you must ensure that the host program (Cubase) can see your controller’s MIDI IN
Go to DEVICES > DEVICE SETUP… > MIDI > MIDI PORT SETUP
Then in order to play the Motif-Rack XS from your controller:
Your controller is now mapped to play to play the Motif-Rack XS |

I guess I wasn’t thinking straight, just forgot to create the track, what a newbie mistake!
