Motif Es 7 to work as a midi controller In Pro Tools
Mac-10.6.4
Pro Tools 8.0.4 Reason 5 Yamaha Motif ES 7 I’m trying to use my Yamaha Motif es7 as a controller(it worked before and I honestly dont know what I'm leaving out)but I recently had to reset my whole mac os to the factory settings & I have done everything for it to work as a controller so it can be able to send midi but when I press record on pro tools to record something from reason 5,I get no midi,when I try to record the internal sounds I get sound,no midi. I have been trying to figure this out for about the past 2 days I really need help I am very much appreciative for any help anybody gives me. |

Well, the easiest way would be to hook the Motif up by usb to your mac (you would use "to host" on the back of the motif). Then go into audiomidi setup (under "utilities") and click "rescan midi devices". It will then recognize your Motif from now on. And it will work in Protools, or Garageband, or any standalone synth you have on the Mac.

2 questions:
Does the motif show up in AudioMidi setup and if so how does it show up? Are your problems specifically with using Reason and ProTools at the same time, or can't you even use it to simply record Midi into ProTools? |

Sorry for not specifying, I use pro tools in rewire. I can't record midi what so ever. 1 way I figure its a midi problem is because I can't record midi & also when I go into reason & search for my keyboard by pressing a key it does not work nothing shows up. |

Since it shows up in AMS, that's all it needs. You just need to figure out which ports you are connecting within ProTools. The easiest way to work is to just leave your MIDI inputs in ProTools set to "All". The other thing is that Reason can specify a "master keyboard" or something like that. If I remember correctly, you need to turn that off. When you are using Reason rewired with ProTools, you are sending MIDI through ProTools to Reason. So you don't want to confuse things by trying to send MIDI directly into Reason. (At least that's how I understand it) You should also be recording the MIDI in ProTools also.. |
