Hi,
I updated the firmware recently. I don’t know if that is relevant info or not.
Suddenly I have no sound .
Tried to record a few notes in Song mode to see if that worked and the location bar goes to the count of 4 and then returns to start and nothing gets recorded. I can however hear the 2 example songs that get loaded with the Motif so I know it’s not the earphones or the phones connection. I am not technically savvy at all and I am lost as to what to check. I have never had this issue before. So grateful for your input. Cheers, Skybo |

Skybo,
1. Hit the UTILITY button.
See if that works. If LOCAL CONTROL is set to OFF, the notes you play are not sent to the internal tone generator (the XS) (i.e. no sound when you play the keys or play back a song or pattern). They are only sent out via MIDI through the USB, Firewire and MIDI ports. |

Thank you soooooo much Graviton Blue.
Words cannot convey the level of my gratitude enough to you ! For future reference, I am curious, why and how it would flip to the to OFF position Do you know ?
Again, tipping my hat to you.

One possibility is that you used the sequencer Quick Setup - see pages 270-271 of the XS Owner’s Manual. Quick Setup number 2 or 3 will turn off Local Control. If you later want to use the XS alone, selecting Quick Setup 1 will reconfigure things. |
