Made some cool Patterns in the Motif XS’s Pattern Sequencer. Then I saved them to a USB memory stick FILE>DEVICE(select the USB drive) >TYPE:SMF (select the pattern) >SAVE. Then I plugged the USB stick into the mac with Logic open, I selected a NEW EMPTY PROJECT, selected 1 NEW EXTERNAL MIDI TRACK, chose the MOTIF Channel 1 from the Media Library, then went to the Track Pull-down and chose 7 more EXTERNAL MIDI tracks (because the Pattern I’m transferring has a total of 8 midi tracks). Logic Automatically assigned the next 7 tracks as the Motif’s Midi channels 2-8. Now here’s the cool part. I return to the desktop, locate the SMF on the USB drive and drag & drop it right onto measure 1 track 1. No IMPORTING necessary. It automatically puts all 8 tracks in the right place - Logic tracks 1-8. I know this is a no-brainer to some, but since there is no Motif XS/Logic combination manual, I thought documenting it could help some newbies. Cheers! |

alwaysuptil1,
It’s a particularly good way to import drum patterns into an existing song… |
