I know this is probably something simple but I’m stumped on whether or not this is possible.
In short, I want to stack the two boards, run bass on the motif and keys on the Roland with BOTH sounds coming from the motif. Please say this is possible… |

Yes you can - here is what you need to know.
The Motif needs to be in a mode where you can
the Multi-part modes on the Motif are SONG MIXING and PATTERN MIXING modes - in these modes the Motif is 16 PART multi-timbral. PART 1 defaults to MIDI channel 1, PART 2 to MIDI channel 2 and so on
Press SONG (or PATTERN) and select a blank location

I had the same question last week. Bad_Mister gave me this answer: This is a basic MIDI transmit and receive question. Here is whatyou need to know:When you are in VOICE mode or PERFORMANCE you are transmitting on a singleMIDI channel from the XS keyboard… and more importantly - if you were toconnect an external device to control the XS via MIDI, the VOICE orPERFORMANCE would be addressed on a single MIDI channel. Make sense? When you are in SONG/PATTERN mode you are still transmitting fromthe XS keyboard on a single MIDI channel at a time, but each of the 16 PARTSof the MIXING setup can be set to receive any MIDI channel youdesire. By default they are set PART 1 = CH 1, PART 2 = CH 2, PART 3 = CH 3,and so on But you are free to place each PART on any MIDI channel you desire. So say you placed PARTS 1, 2, 3 and 4 on MIDI receive channel 1. Knowing that if you transmit on MIDI channel 1, you know that all four ofthese PARTS would respond together.

. I know that this is months late (I just found this site) but here’s a thought. I midi my yamaha xs6 to my roland g7. I play the g7 and import sounds form the xs6 to it. i tell the roland to go find the sounds i want in the xs6 and bring them back to the roland. I do everything in Performance mode in the Yamaha. In channel 1 of the roland, I tell the roland to find the yamaha (63), the user bank of the yamaha (User 1 = 9, User 2 = 10, User 3 = 11) where the sound is located, and then the individual location of the sound in the User Bank (1-128). This way I can get the great piano sounds of the Yamaha into the Roland. Also the Yamaha gives me 4 voices per performance site and the roland give me 8 = 12 voices per song! A thought… yahhamm |
