highest quality and capable of transferring signal
at 24-bit resolution with up to 96kHz sample
rates. And when you think about the cost of the
mLAN16E and a single firewire versus 24 high
quality analog cables (that still couldn’t function in
this manner), the expansion kit has already paid
dividends!!!
On the MIDI view: connect 4 PORTS from the
mLAN16E to the computer and 4 PORTS from the
computer back to the mLAN16E.
The 4 Ports for MIDI
connection are as
follows:
Port 1 – main Motif
ES communication
Port 2 – for PLG150
boards (optional)… or
external MIDI devices.
The Port and MIDI
channels can be
assigned as necessary
in your software.
Port 3 – General
Remote (Multi-Part
Editor for Motif ES)
Port 4 – Remote
Control for Digital
Audio Workstation
software.
On the Word Clock
view: (shown
below) make the
computer the MASTER and connect the Word
Clock out of the computer to Word Clock in of the
mLAN16E. To do this click anywhere in the
computer node – it will be outlined in black
indicating it is selected. Click on the SINGLE
MASTER icon in the toolbar.
The Patchbay is
a living,
breathing thing.
You can and will
refer to it often
as the task you
have at hand
dictates.
Eventually you
will create your
own setup
TEMPLATES that
you can recall for different tasks. This will happen
as you develop your own work methods.
The Motif ES should be set as follows:
• Press UTILITY
• Press F5 MIDI
• Press SF2 SWITCH
• Set the Local Ctrl = OFF*
• Press SF4 OTHER
• Set MIDI IN/OUT = mLAN
• Press F4 CTL ASN
• Press SF4 REMOTE
• Set Mode A = <-Your DAW here-> = Port 4 -
should be used to control sequencer software (set
as appropriate for your Digital Audio Workstation
software). On Windows XP that would be SONAR
3.1.1 or Cubase
SX/SL/Nuendo or GENERAL if you
are using SQ01v2
• Set Mode B = <GENERAL> = Port 3 (the Motif ES’s
Port 3 will be used to remote control the Motif ES
via the “Multi Part Editor for Motif ES”)
• Press ENTER to make these settings
• Press STORE to lock-in settings (Flash ROM)
*In this setup with Local Control OFF you would typically
route signal back to the selected tone generator via
track assignment in your sequencing software.
