Hi
Im trying to record 8 tracks simultaneously from my motif XS6, after reading some posts in the forum im kinda getting the feeling that Cubase le5 can’t do this…am I right?
If so…which version of Cubase should I upgrade to in order to do this?
Thanks!
Hi and welcome.
Cubase LE can do this.
Open Devices > VST Connections > Inputs. Add busses (8x mono, or 4x stereo, or what is your configuration). Make sure, every bus has it’s own Audio Port selected. If not, change the settings manually.
Add 8 Audio mono or 4 Audio stereo tracks. Make shure, every single track has different Input selected. Enable Arm Record on all Audio tracks. Record.
Hi
Thnx for reply…will try that when I get home…
Shouldn’t cubase see the motif xs as n audio driver for it to work properly or no?
I’m not that techy… Sorry
Thanks for your help
Cheers
Hi,
I see, this is Motif XS. I think, this Motif doesn’t work as an Audio Device (sound card). I think you would need expansion card for Motif.
Do you have another Audio Device (sound card)?
Hi
I have a zoom R16…but I kinda got the impression from reading
On the forum that it could be done with cubase le5. So that’s why I
Was enquiring…
Thanks
Hi,
Read this forum, please. Bad_Mister (Moderator) wrote:

"The Motif XF does not use the “Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver” at all. Not at all. The only synthesizer that currently uses that driver is the MOX6/MOX8 - that driver is used for MIDI and AUDIO (the MOX is dual Stereo USB outputs via that drvier). It is multiple ports of MIDI and 2 stereo Audio outputs.
The Motif XF does not use that driver at all, and does not do any audio via USB, period. Rather the Motif XF uses the “Yamaha USB-MIDI Driver” which is MIDI ONLY.
The “Yamaha Steinberg Firewire Driver” is used for the Motif XF, this driver gives the XF multiple ports of MIDI and AUDIO (16 audio outputs, 6 audio returns)
Current situation:
Basically if you see both Yamaha and Steinberg in the name of the driver it is an ASIO (Audio Streaming Input Output) driver… ASIO was invented by Steinberg.
If you see a driver with just Yamaha, as in the Yamaha USB-MIDI Driver it is a MIDI only driver, and works for the majority of Yamaha MIDI synthesizers and keyboards (all of them except the new MOX6/MOX8 which requires a MIDI/AUDIO ASIO driver)"
oh wow !
Thanks for the info…
On to the next set-up then…appreciate the help!
cheers
