Ok, I just got my Motif Rack es last night and was as thrilled as can be. Everything worked great...until I installed the usb driver and studio editor. Last night I was able to just plug the Motif Rack Es into my mixer and get busy. Everything came out great. The problem now is unless I have that studio editor running...I can’t hear a thing. I have to have it running on my computer in order to hear my motif now. If I close the program. I can’t hear anything. What in the world did I do wrong? I have spent the whole day trying to get this thing to work again, rather than working on music.

Here’s the relevant part of my set up:

M-audio firewire 410
Windows vista 64
Motif Rack Es
Yamaha MM6

I have the Midi in from the Motif Rack Es going to Midi out to the Firewire 410.

The firewire 410 is plugged into my mixer. I have two 1/4 cables from the Motif Rack Es OUT to channel 8 input on my mixer. All of this worked great last night until I installed the drivers. I’d also like to trigger Motif Rack es sounds with my Korg Pad Kontrol as well but that’s for another day.

Thanks

check whether or not local control is on or off

Should it be set to on?

Thanks

One more thing. Where is local control located. Is it under utility.

I unplugged the usb cable, unclicked the midi thu on my firewire 410 soundcard and as far as the Korg kontrol Pad. It’s hooked up through USB. As long as you match up the midi “channel” in Sonar 8’s midi track with the same track in multi mode of the Motif Rack es. You should be fine.

Just thought I’d share the solution.
