As you've seen in previous sections, the MOTIF ES can be controlled from a computer. In this section, we'll see how it can do the opposite Ñ control the operation of music/audio software on the computer. This powerful feature lets you control two different software programs by using knobs, sliders and buttons on the panel of the MOTIF ES, rather than your computer's mouse and keyboard. The MOTIF ES can be used to control DAW (digital audio workstation) software, such as Cubase SX and SONAR, as well as the Multi Part Editor program (contained on the included CD-ROM). The Remote Control function emulates popular hardware controllers such as the Yamaha 01X, letting you use the panel buttons/controllers on the MOTIF ES for controlling your music/audio software. As shown in the example below, the MOTIF ES uses two of the four available USB ports to control two different software programs, while the two remaining ports handle MIDI sequence data.
Press the REMOTE [ON/OFF] button (the lamp flashes) to enter the Remote Control mode. Press this button again to exit from the Remote Control mode. Mode A- Cubase, Port 4....Panel operations on the MOTIF ES control sequencer (Cubase SX) functions on the computer via MIDI port 4. Mode B- General, Port 3....Panel operations on the MOTIF ES control mixing software (Multi Part Editor) functions on the computer via MIDI port 3. The "General" mode setting lets you control Yamaha software. Change the software (port) to be controlled. The MIDI data played back by the Cubase SX is transferred to the MOTIF ES via the MIDI ports 1 and 2. The functions of eight knobs/faders on the emulated hardware controllers (such as the Yamaha 01X) are assigned to the four Knobs/Sliders on the MOTIF ES. Pressing the [SF5] button changes which group's functions (1 to 4 or 5 to 8) are assigned to the four Knobs/Sliders. The eight knobs on the emulated hardware controllers (such as the Yamaha 01X) can also be used as switches. However, since the four Knobs on the MOTIF ES do not have switch capability, the [PRE1] to [PRE4] buttons are used instead. While the eight knobs on the emulated devices have "endless" rotary control, the four Knobs on the MOTIF ES stop at certain points. For some parameters this may mean that the value may not reach to the minimum and maximum points. If this occurs, you can use the data dial to adjust the value as desired. The data dial is active for the parameter corresponding to the Knob last turned. Among other things, the Remote Control mode lets you start/stop the playback of the DAW software on the computer by using the SEQ TRANSPORT buttons and control the song position on the DAW software by using the data dial, [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons. For more information about the functions assigned to the panel buttons in the Remote Control mode, see page 151. Various functions are assigned to the [F1] to [F6] and [SF1] to [SF5] buttons depending on the DAW software to be controlled. The assigned functions are shown at the bottom of the display. For details, see page 151 and the separate Data List.

By using the optional mLAN16E interface and an IEEE 1394 cable connection, you can record multitrack audio from the MOTIF ES to an mLAN-compatible DAW (digital audio workstation) program on your computer. This lets you transfer the audio data of multi-part Songs on the MOTIF ES to the DAW application for further editing and storage on your computer's hard disk drive. In the example instructions below, Song playback and/or your keyboard performance in the Song mode can be recorded to the computer, on separate tracks of the DAW application.
Audio signal of the MOTIF ES sound. Setup for connecting the computer to the MOTIF ES via mLAN. Setup on the MOTIF ES. 1. Install the optional mLAN16E to the MOTIF ES (page 288). 2. After turning the power on, set the MIDI IN/OUT parameter to "mLAN" ([UTILITY] -> [F5] MIDI -> [SF4] OTHER). 3. Press the [SONG] button to enter the Song mode and select the desired Song for playback, or the particular Mixing settings you want to use. 4. Set the mLAN MonitorSw parameter to "on" ([UTILITY] -> [F2] I/O -> [SF2] OUTPUT). When this parameter is set to on, the audio signal output via mLAN to the computer is also output to the external audio equipment via the main OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks. This allows you to monitor the sound going to the computer with a set of headphones. 5. Determine the Output connector or channel of audio signal for each part. Make the desired OutputSel parameter settings ([SONG] -> [MIXING] -> [EDIT] -> Part selection -> [F2] OUTPUT -> [SF3] SELECT). For example, set the OutputSel parameter for Part 1 to "as 1 and 2," Part 2 to "as 3 and 4," and Part 3 to "as 5 and 6." These settings (as 1 and 2, as 3 and 4, etc.) indicate the hardware output jacks on the optional AIEB2, when the device has been installed. When the mLAN16E is installed, these indicate the different audio channels within the single mLAN connection. Setup on the computer. 1. Connect the computer to the MOTIF ES using an IEEE1394 cable. 2. Install all necessary software to the computer, including the mLAN driver. Refer to the relevant documentation for the mLAN16E. 3. Install an mLAN-compatible audio sequencer or DAW application to the computer. Refer to the separate Installation Guide for information on how to install mLAN-compatible Yamaha applications. 4. Set the audio related parameters on the DAW software. Refer to the relevant documentation for the particular software. Executing the Hard Disk Recording. After completing the setup described above, try out to record your keyboard performance to the hard disk of the computer by using the DAW software. For details about how to execute this, refer to the re
