Hello all
I am new to the forum and I know just enough to be dangerous.
I don’t even know if im posting this in the proper place?
If I did’nt please let me know and I will repost it.
I write and try to produce I’m diving in deeper trying to get a better understanding.
I’m not completely ignorant I’d say I’m at 35-40 % as far as knowledge goes.
I have tons of soft synths and vst’s plug in’s rtas etc etc and i know how to use them.
I have been using a Axiom 49 to trigger them but it looks like the xf will do it all if set up properly.
Ive been reading all the different post about sonar and the Yamaha xf series.
I have Sonar 8.5 producer.
I have been able to record with the XF using midi ins and out cables buy Ive read its better to use the usb cable.
When i pull the song back up in Sonar it looses the patches I used to record with?
So my question is whats the easiest way to configure my daw with the Motif XF6 to get the most out of it?
Thank you for any and all help, Jeremy

Sonar can host the Motif XF VST Editor. Using the editor will reload the proper voices to the XF every time you open a Sonar project. You need the USB connection to use the editor, it’s superior to using a separate MIDI interface anyway.

You can download the editor and the USB MIDI driver here. Pick the version that matches your Windows version.

That link is mangled - try this.

I would highly suggest upgrading your Cakewalk software (Sonar Platinum).. 8.5 is very old.  You are missing many many new features, including compatability features.  ; )

Thank you all for the replies and suggestions
I will try all the above.
Is there a place on the forum for selling gear?
I have a nice ES 6 I’m going to sell?
Thanks again,Jeremy
