Patch – The sound
selected in this
screen shot is the
drum kit Dr: Hyper
STD.
The red arrow
indicates the Sonar
“AUTO THRU”
function. We are
operating with the
Local Control Off
on the Motif ES.
Therefore the
THRU function of
the software will
select what we
hear. So when we
transmit from the Motif ES keyboard the MIDI
data goes directly to the mLAN MIDI out arrives
here and if the THRU is activated on a track in
Sonar it will echo back and sound in the Motif ES.
Click this icon to set it to ECHO ON when you wish
to hear your MIDI tone module.
I cannot cover all the functions of Sonar but this
should be sufficient for you to get recording and
playing back MIDI tracks. For additional
information please consult the Sonar
documentation.
SONAR – Setup an AUDIO
Track
Recording Audio data into Sonar is handled as
usual. If you are new to Sonar please consult the
manual for Sonar. Nothing has changed in how
you record Audio data to Sonar other then you
now are using mLAN Ins and Outs. Above is a
close-up of the data on a typical Audio track.
I – or Input is set to “Left ASIO mLAN – mLAN01” (you
can select from a long list of possibilities).
The first time you see this selection process you may
scratch your head – but it is logical. As we saw earlier
Sonar refers to the inputs in stereo pairs (Left/Right)
and therefore deals with the odd/even pairings. The
ODD number is always the left channel and the EVEN
number channel is always the right channel.
Left ASIO mLAN
mLAN 01 is the first
of 16 possible
mLAN inputs…
Select this if the
signal is mono.
Right ASIO mLAN
mLAN 01 is the
second of 16
possible inputs…
Select if the signal
is mono. If your
signal is a stereo
input it will use
both of these – and
you would select
“Stereo ASIO mLAN
mLAN 01”.
Therefore here is how it applies to the Motif ES…
Motif ES output:
Left ASIO mLAN – mLAN 01 = as1
Right ASIO mLAN – mLAN 01 = as2
Stereo ASIO mLAN – mLAN 01 = as1&2
Left ASIO mLAN – mLAN 03 = as3
Right ASIO mLAN – mLAN 03 = as4
Stereo ASIO mLAN – mLAN 03 = as3&4
Left ASIO mLAN – mLAN 05 = as5
Right ASIO mLAN – mLAN 05 = as6
Stereo ASIO mLAN – mLAN 05 = as5&6
Left ASIO mLAN – mLAN 07 = as7
Right ASIO mLAN – mLAN 07 = as8
Stereo ASIO mLAN – mLAN 07 = as7&8
Left ASIO mLAN – mLAN 09 = as9
Right ASIO mLAN – mLAN 09 = as10
Stereo ASIO mLAN – mLAN 09 = as9&10
Left ASIO mLAN – mLAN 11 = as11
Right ASIO mLAN – mLAN 11 = as12
Stereo ASIO mLAN – mLAN 11 = as11&12
Left ASIO mLAN – mLAN 13 = as13
Right ASIO mLAN – mLAN 13 = as14
Stereo ASIO mLAN – mLAN 13 = as13&14
Left ASIO mLAN – mLAN 15 = not applicable
Right ASIO mLAN – mLAN 15 = not applicable
Stereo ASIO mLAN – mLAN 15 = L&R main system
O – or Output is set to MASTER. The Master can be
assigned to any of the stereo mLAN inputs of the
mLAN16E. For example, if you go to the MASTER Track
view:
Here you see
the Master
OUTPUT is set to
“ASIO mLAN
mLAN 07” and
since it is stereo
this will return
to
the Motif ES
to mLAN4
:
mLAN16E Ins SONAR mLAN Outs
mLAN1 = ASIO mLAN mLAN 01&02
mLAN2 = ASIO mLAN mLAN 03&04
mLAN3 = ASIO mLAN mLAN 05&06
mLAN4 = ASIO mLAN mLAN 07&08
