| OT - Yamaha Motif?!?!?! [message #84056] |

I just got a Motif 6 and I can't figure out how to make function as a multi-timbral
MIDI sound source w/ an external sequencer (Digital Performer). Does anyone
have experience w/ the Motif or maybe know of a user group? The manual is
inconclusive. Google hasn't found anythiing useful yet.
HELP!
Thanks!

Do you know of any third party manuals for the Motif? I have an older one,
I think. It's a Motif 6. I downloaded the Yamaha manual and, as you said,
it's pretty opaque.

Dunno, I'd try the forums at motifator. That's probably your best bet.
