What you can do by using Cubase 4
together with the MOTIF XS
IMPORTANT
To use the following features and operations, you’ll first need to
install the AI driver and Extensions for Steinberg DAW.
When using a hardware synthesizer such as the MOTIF XS
with computer software, a variety of settings—such as
audio connection, driver setup and port setup—must be
made. Those complicated settings will be made
automatically for you as soon as you connect the MOTIF XS
to a computer via an IEEE1394 cable.
The Device Setup window of the Cubase indicates the
Audio Port or MIDI Port including the model name such as
“MOTIF XS Main L” and “MOTIF XS MIDI IN,” making it
easy to confirm the current connection or change the
connection. For details, see the illustration below.
When creating a new project file within Cubase, you can
select the template for multi-channel audio recording using
the MOTIF XS. By selecting a template, you can easily
perform the recording in Cubase without having to make
complicated or detailed settings.
