Just curious. Is the M-Xf connected to wired network?

Hi rasikaw,
No, my Motif XF8 is not connected to anything. It is stand alone, aside from my DTX-Multi 12 which is connected with a simple Midi cable.

I’m going to go over all settings again and see if there was something I’m missing.
There has to be a step or something simple I’m failing to recognize.

Thanks for the optimism and support.

Chas...I’d “store” configuration after disconnecting MIDI cable to DTX and reboot M-XF again. Just trying to isolate the issue by making sure WiFi MIDI is the only physical connectivity method.

Hi rasikaw,
Hmmm, that’s not something I would have considered a few short days ago, but after my several attemps with not too successful goals, I’m willing to give that a try as well…

I’m not sure if my Factory Set has altered any of those previous settings, but it certainly can’t hurt to try it.

Let’s hope that this corrects the bad behaviour, at the very least, removing one more parameter that could possibly be giving my apps these negative results.

Eh, thanks for this overlooked hookup which could possibly be the culprit.

I’ll give it a whirl, and see what happens…

Check back in awhile, for news!!

No, it changed nothing… I’m still getting the negative errors.

I unplugged the DTX-Multi 12, rewrote all the app instructions to the Motif XF, pressed Store, powered down, powered up, set the iPad to Motif Wi-Fi network, and still nothing. The OUT red light blinks once when I press TRANSMIT in Voice Editor, Time Out error when the RECEIVE is pressed.

I’m not going to give up this easy. Life’s full of challenges and we manage somehow. So to me, this is simply just another mystery that needs further study and thought.
I know there is a fix to this somewhere!! HELP!!

Chas

After the Factory Set, please check your Motif XF Host Name… it appears that it has changed during this thread and I wonder if you were accessing some one else’s Motif XF UTILITY mode settings… or it was just a TYPO. Remember when loading an ALL data file that YOU did not create to load “all without system”.

Hi Bad_Mister,
I’ll certainly look into this, but it’s likely a simple TYPO. Thanks for this heads up though.
I realize that my ongoing issues are likely my mistakes, so I’m hopeful.

Were you referring to these?
That “-port1” is in the app settings, not the Motif:
APP
Wireless Midi Port Motif_XF-695a63-port1
Motif XF
Host Name Motif_XF-6d5a63

I think that it could be useful to analyze iPad app logs.

To Yamaha Guys:
Is there any OEM way of collecting logs from those iPad apps? That would be helpful.
Let someone analyze logs and trace whats going on!

Hi rasikaw,
I don’t use ITunes, so I don’t sync my iPad with my computer.
I have separate Internet connections for iPad and desk top computer.

Chas

I’m having a similar problem.  I’m using:

iPad “3”
Yamaha Performance Editor App
Yamaha i-MX1
Motif XS

Absolutely nothing happens as far as editing multis on the XS. 

When I press the “Receive” button on the iPad/App, it gives me a timeout error.  Also, as mentioned in someone’s previous post, the green light is always on, indicating a problem, I assume.

I am able to send data to the XS and play notes from a MIDI monitor app.  I’ve also tried using the iPad camera adapter through USB, as recommend by Yamaha support, and got the same results.  Transmitting notes is fine, actually changing a Multi, impossible.

I’ve done a factory reset on the XS.  I’m sending data on MIDI channel 1.  What other settings do I have to change?

Hi toddquatier!
I’m still having ongoing issues with my iPad apps and connecting to my Motif XF8.
Atleast you have a green light, mine never did light up. All I’ve seen is the red light blink a couple of blips and that was all, other than the Time Out error. The Motif XF Wi-Fi network is found and although the Cloud Recorder works flawlessly, those other apps do not!!

I hope that a fix or solution might be found soon. That was a huge chunk of change this iPad cost me. Not to have the apps working from day one, has been quite a large letdown. This is putting it mildly and politely.

Glad it’s not just me, but it’s still a kick in the head.  The XS really needs a remote editing app.

No problem. How did it go?

Hello everybody,
Mission Control, we have lift off!!  Richie 1027 was able to point out the missing link for me today.
He very kindly made me a short video which he posted on YouTube for me to view.

I wanted to say thanks to everyone who participated in the endevour to try and help me get these Yamaha iPad apps to set up and work, and now I have all of them playing their parts.

In the video, Rich demonstrated all the necessary steps to have the wireless connectivity.
Even though I was seeing each app registering with the Motif Wi-Fi connection, I failed to realize that I had to tap it to check mark them. So when I heard Rich mention this, the lights all came on. Yes even those little green ones.

I knew it had to be something very simple, which was being overlooked, as everything else was connecting.

Anyway, “That was easy...”!!
Thank you Rich.

Chas

Congrats on your success Chas!
And an A+ to Richie for the extra effort.

Very Cool,
Stone
