Hello, I’m so glad to see that forum alive.. :) After some years of studio production daily work, my motif xs has to play again on stage. So I tried to connect it to a MacBook Pro Retina mid 2015, with OsSierra 10.12.5. I tried to install the latest Yamaha-Steinberg usb driver (1.9.10) and then and before of that the latest Yamaha usb-driver (1.3.2), but I can’t make it works. Any softwares recognize my motif xs. So I started wondering what’s the right driver and if it works with my OS. Should I check for newest drivers in motif XF pages? Thanks so much..!! All the Best, |

You appear to have an XS8, based on your avatar picture. It can do MIDI over USB, or MIDI and audio over FireWire (mLAN). The Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver is for models that do MIDI and audio over USB, such as the MOX, MOXF, and MX, not the XS. If you want to use the FireWire interface, you’ll need the correct Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver for you computer’s OS. It will also require that the correct firmware (v 1.07) is installed for the mLAN16E2, and that “mLAN” is selected for MIDI In/Out in Utility mode - see below.

If you want to connect your XS to your computer via USB, then the Yamaha USB-MIDI Driver version 1.3.2 should work. Make sure that your XS is set to communicate over USB…
See (4)MIDI In/Out on pages 267-268 of the XS Owner’s Manual. |

Yamaha says that the USB-MIDI Driver for Mac version 1.3.2 is compatible with Sierra OS (10.12). It should work. See http://download.yamaha.com/file/57068

You’re welcome.
EDIT: You posted while I wrote the above. I’m glad you got things working.
