Did you set also in Utility mode type of IEEE 1394? If you have mLAN16e2 board in XF, than you should set it to mLAN. Otherwise, if you have FW16 board, than you should set this parameter to FW.

Just to resolve some possible misconceptions…
I presume you’re referring to the IEEE1394 Driver setting. That setting is found in an XS (if it was updated), but not the XF. The mLAN16E2 interface was standard in the XS8, and optional in the XS6/XS7. To use the Yamaha Steinberg FW (YSFW) driver (rather than the mLAN driver), the mLAN16E2 would be updated to firmware version 1.07. The IEEE1394 Driver setting is needed in the XS to select either mLAN (for an mLAN16E2 that wasn’t updated, with the computer running the old mLAN driver), or FW (for an updated mLAN16E2, or an FW16E, with the computer running the YSFW driver).
Â
An mLAN16E2 can only be used in an XF if its firmware is updated to version 1.08 (at which point it no longer functions as an mLAN interface), and the YSFW driver is used. There is no “mLAN” setting in an XF.
Â
The setting to use FW as MIDI interface on an XF is…

1) Be sure to STORE the [UTILITY] > [CONTROL] > [MIDI] > MIDI In/Out = FW setting. 2) Does the FW port show up under Mac System Information? If not, there’s likely a problem with either the Mac or the Thunderbolt-to-FW adapter. 3) If yes to #2, does the Yamaha Steinberg FW icon show up in Mac System Preferences (Other)? If yes, open it. What is shown when the “General” tab is clicked? If a MOTIF XF7 tab exists, what is shown when it’s clicked? |

thanks for your reply 5pinDIN.
it shows the sample rate, word clock and clock source.
The problem is , it stays connected only for short period of time. then it disconnects itself.
thanks |

OK for the “General” tab, but what is on the WORD CLOCK line, and is there a “MOTIF XF7” tab? |

I figured out the issue, my logic was assigning control surfaces automatically every time I connected the FW. so many of same control surfaces was created. so I disabled all of them, everything works like a charm now.
