Is it possible to assign the pitch bend wheel in Motif XS 7 to control [removed]Midi CC11)?  Or if not the pitch bend wheel, then the ribbon controllor?  Or any other way?

What I want to acheieve is to have 2 controllors availble to contrl CC1 modulation (modwhell) and another to control CC11.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum, NADH2.

There are so many possibilities that it would be difficult to give a short reply. However, there’s a support article covering the topic very well. See http://www.motifator.com/index.php/support/view/motif_xs_working_with_and_understanding_physical_controllers

Thank you for the replies. 

I think I did not explain myself well the first time.  I am using my Motif XS both as a stand-alone synth, but also as a Midi controllor together with DAW Sonar X3.

So, for example, I am playing the keys on the XS, and its playing a soft synth inside of Sonar.  I want to be able to turn a wheel/knob/fader on the XS to control CC11 Expression of the soft synth.

Is this possible?

The simplest way to do this is to add an expression pedal, but you can assign the ribbon, the two assignable knobs to any CC you want. That would be a better choice than the bend wheel.

Using information from the article I previously provided a link to, you should be able to do what you want. You might also consider a Master Mode Zone (Understanding Master Mode). The rest depends on Sonar X3.

Thanks for the help again.  I managed to assign CC11 Expression to one of the Assign knobs.

Is it not possible to assign one of the 8 sliders to CC messages?

No, the sliders are not assignable.
