midi sync with yamaha motif
im trying to figure out how to use the built in tempo delay effect in my yamaha motif within my pro tools session. basically, the default setting of the delay isnt the same tempo as my song. i tried looking for a tempo setting in the motif but to no avail. i contacted yamaha and they told me to set the motif to midi sync: midi and that everything else was done in pro tools.
what exactly do i need to adjust in PT? |

Everything should be in perfect synch. I do it all the time, including the delay effect you want to use. I just did it last night. Let me know if you still have problems and will try to figure out what's happening.

Re: midi sync with yamaha motif
Hello Donald, wasn't sure how to email you thru here, but I need some help please...I read some of you post on this but still didn't understand and need some step by step please.
I have searched the data base the best I could and didn't find an answer ....I am using a Motif ES6 to seq my songs due to being more comfortable with edits and timing issues, however when I get the song done on the Motif, I want to transport that over to Pro Tools. I have the PT 7.4/ 003 connected via firewire, and what I would like to do is transfer the music created on the Motif seq into PT with separated tracks as it is in the Motif, to separated tracks in PT. I have tried this recording once track at a time into PT and I have lots of timing issues. Im not familiar with using PT as a seq due to not understanding how to use the quantization... So with all that being said (1) Can anyone tell me if there is a way to transfer my music (all trks at onceand separated) to PT without using midi? (2) If not, can anyone explain to me how to use PT as a sequencer and be able to fix my quantize issues? |

Re: midi sync with yamaha motif
1. you need to set your buffer rate to 256 or lower
2. go into preference under midi offset and change the buffer to whatever your playback buffer is 3. make sure you have midi enabled and you should be fine

Re: midi sync with yamaha motif
I appreciate your help Sbag, but that’s not really helping me, I still need some step by step on how to sync via USB, I have installed the drivers and connected the 2 devices, and I don’t know what setting to set up in Pro Tools nor which setting to change in the Motif ES6 to get pro tools to tell the motif when to start and stop. I'm not recording MIDI, I have a sequence in the motif and I need to get to Pro Tool via Audio. Does that make sense?

Re: midi sync with yamaha motif
Keytone, I gave you a link to an older post on this subject in your other post/question; have you read that link that I gave you?

Re: midi sync with yamaha motif
Are you looking to quantize AUDIO? Or MIDI?
If you need to quantize audio, then the only way to do it is with Beat Detective or Elastic Audio. That's just a fact of life/Pro Tools. Quantizing MIDI is a different story, and is covered extensively in the Pro Tools Reference Guide (Chapter 39, Page 798 of the 8.0 guide) My "take" is that you aren't doing it right. You might want to read up on both Beat Detective and Elastic Audio.

Re: midi sync with yamaha motif
Ummmm... it's installed with the software and available from the help menu within the program.
It's also readily and freely available online at the Digidesign website (here's a LINK). Not without spending hours typing, no. There are LOTS of tutorials available for beat detective; YouTube.com Grooveboxmusic.com SoundOnSound.com AudioTutsPlus.com Quote:
I really, really recommend (and I mean no dis-respect here; I'm just trying to help) that you spend some time with the Reference Guide (the "Manual") as it should really be your first source of education about Pro Tools.
