Hello,

This is my first post, and I’m kind of a newbie with motif and cubase.
I own a motif 8 and cubase 5, installed on windows xp. I connect them via a Usb cable, and want to use midi for recording. I succesfuly connected them, and i can record one track. that’s as far as i got.
my metronome is the same sound as i use in that track and as soon as I want to coninue to the next track and change the sound of that one, the sound of the track recorded before changes along with it. the metronome does the same.
I tried a lot of things, and nothing is working. Can somebody tell me witch settings i have to change, or what I’m doing wrong?

excuse me for my english, I’m dutch and 16 years old.

Thanks,

Freek

Welcome to the forums, and your English is fine (far, far better than my Dutch)…

You want to place your Motif in SONG or PATTERN mode, as these are the modes where you can select different sounds for each MIDI channel.

Press [SONG]
Call up a blank SONG location
Press [MIXING]
MIXING is where you can select up to 16 different sounds - one for each of the 16 PARTS, each will be on a different MIDI channel and therefore able to communicate with Cubase on separate tracks.

Press [EDIT]
Use the Track buttons [1]-[16] to select a PART
Press [F1] VOICE
Press [SF1] VOICE
Here you can select a Voice for this PART

When working with an external sequencer like Cubase you want to work with LOCAL CONTROL = OFF
Press [UTILITY]
Press [F5] MIDI
Press [SF2] SWITCH
Set LOCAL CONTROL = OFF
what this does is disconnect the Motif keyboard from the Motif tone generator. MIDI information travels out to Cubase, where you setup a MIDI track.

The MIDI track receives the keyboard data, and routes it back to the Motif on the MIDI channel as set for the currently selected track. As you select a track in Cubase - you will be in touch with the PART that is assigned to the MIDI channel of that track.
