Can someone explain how I can use my XS8 as a controller in LogicPro X?
Tried everything. I Love the Key Bed on the XS so I want to control my VST’s in Logic.
I would appreciate any ones input.

Are you using USB for midi or FW?
Either way ensure Motif Interface Midi In/Out is set to USB/FW - press Utility button, F5 for Control tab then SF2 for Midi tab
There is a scene on setting up the Motif with Logic Pro in the Keyfax Music Production With Motif video.

It would typically be advantageous to use FireWire, since the XS8 comes standard with the mLAN16E2 interface built in.

A dowloadable version of the video jimbowal referred to is available (as are others) here: http://www.keyfax.com/index.php/instruction/downloadable-video.html
