The CLOUD is different from the other four apps, in that you must set the MIDI IN/OUT = network (with the other 4 apps) the CLOUD does not need the MIDI setting.
Once you have made the MIDI setting. MIDI IN/OUT = network
When you open one of the APPs say “PERFORMANCE”
The MIDI IN (upper right) will turn green when MIDI data is detected. |

Hi Bad_Mister,
Midi In/Out network Store reboot.
The settings are all correct, in each app:
When I press TRANSMIT, the OUT light blinks RED

Have you assigned any static IP address for the wireless LAN interface?

There is something to be said for consistency. In this case, the CLOUD AUDIO RECORDER for MOTIF XF works - so you have audio communication over the wireless network. None of the other APPs (all of which depend on MIDI) give the same result.
You are getting MIDI OUT from the iPAD
We know this because you report the OUT light flashes RED as the iPAD Transmits to the XF, and you report no green light showing for the MIDI IN. (when working the green is almost constant as the XF is always sending MIDI messages. As to why you are not getting MIDI IN to the iPAD is the issue.
We will state some (fairly obvious) conditions that must be met:
You must be in the appropriate mode to communicate with the App…
As an experiment - in your current condition - call up the MULTI app, and see if you can press PLAY in the app and have it start the Motif XF sequencer. Let us know. |

Before going ahead with the Factory Set operation, could you please post a screenshot of the [UTILITY] > [F5] (Control) > [SF2] (MIDI) screen? |

Hi, i work without problem with the DHCP set “on”, the file server must also be set “on”. If you want, see the Moessieurs tips webpage about using editors with ipad and wifi connection, it’s in french but it can help you : http://papanix.free.fr/Moessieurs/wifi_ipad_xf.html You have also the Moessieurs video, the second video from the top of the page, also in french but you can see the XF and the ipad to understand : |

Hi papaphoenix,
As for: DHCP set “onâ€, the file server must also be set “onâ€.
I’m going to try all from scratch this afternoon, and see if I can’t get this figured out.

Make sure that you set the M-XF at appropriate Mode (Voice/performance etc..) other wise you may still get TimeOut Error. This has happened to me quite a few times. I wish Yamaha implemented MIDI with Bluetooth via USB, so that we could utilize Ethernet Port for other things while using iPad with BT. That way there will be less complexity with networking issues. Good Luck! |

Hi rasikaw,
I did a Factory Set (not sure why) after lunch, reset all my particulars, including Screen Color. Put my Auto Load info back, and went through all the steps defined, to try and get these apps to cooperate with my Motif XF. Thanks for your continued support… Chas |
