Hello, Motif XS8 question (sorry rack users): I am trying to connect my XS8 (updated to OS 1.60) to my computer (Win 7-64) via the mLan. I downloaded the latest driver ( http://download.yamaha.com/search/detail/?site=usa.yamaha.com&language=en&category_id1=16277&category_id2=16381&product_id=106377&asset_file_language=EN&asset_id=21027)
I followed the install instructions.
First time ‘round, after running setup.exe., I had the Firewire cable connected to the #1 mLan port on the XS8, and when I powered it up, the computer did not see it, so nothing happened. Under ‘Confirming the Installation’, I checked the Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers, and I had only the Yamaha Steinberg FW Bus. Second try, I turned the XS8 off, restarted the computer, moved the cable to Firewire output #2 on the Motif, turned the XS8 back on - this time the computer recognized the XS8 and said it had successfully installed new hardware. Checking the Device Manager, now I have Yamaha mLAN16E2 as well - but still not the WDM Audio or WDM MIDI controllers listed. Finally, under Changing the Settings After Installation, I click on the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver icon in the system tray, and the Driver control Panel opens - but I have only the General and About tabs - no Motif tab, even though the Motif is still powered on. Any advice on what I might have done wrong and/or what I can do to make it riwww.motifator.compreciated. Thanks. |

UPDATE In the clarity of the next morning, I have uninstalled the FW driver, re-installed it, re-power-up the Motif - same result. Thinking it might have to do with the MIDI and Audio routing in the Motif, I uninstalled the FW driver again, went into the utility on the Motif and set MIDI IN/OUT to mLAN and the Audio I/O to “with PC”, re=installed teh driver, re-powered-up the Motif - - - same result. * FW driver installation completes with the message that the driver was successfully installed. * When I power up the Motif, the computer ‘dings’ that something has been connected. * In Control Panel > Hardware > Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers, there are listed Yamaha mLAN16E2, and Yamaha Steinberg FW Bus - but NOT the WDM MIDI or WDM Audio * Still in Control Panel > Hardware > Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers, if I double click on the Yamaha mLAN16E2,it says “no drivers are installed for this device”!! * the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver icon is present in the system tray, but the control panel it opens has only the General and about tabs - no Motif tab * The Motif is not listed in the “Safely Remove Hardware” dialog Thanks. |
