Is it possible to have Motif XF’s faders control Reface DX touch fader parameters?

My guess part of the answer may lie in Motif’s Master mode. I glanced at reference manual but couldn’t figure it out.

(I searched here a bit. And know I should search more before asking, but I’d like to get more Motif XF on the Motif XF forum.)

Well, it’s really only half about the XF, but… :-)

In Master mode, each of the XF’s Knobs and Control Sliders can be set to a CC# 1~95.

See the Control Change table on page 8 of the reface CS/DX/CP/YC Data List (http://download.yamaha.com/file/65276) for what can be controlled via CC#. Many of the parameters listed are beyond CC95. A MIDI event processor or a MIDI utility could be used to remap CC numbers from the XF to ones required by the reface, or to SysEx messages (see the MIDI PARAMETER CHANGE TABLEs) if necessary.

Bamm! Motifator support. Thank you.

You’re welcome! We try.  :-)

That was an interesting “connection” for me. I downloaded Midi Solutions’ Event Processor’s text edit “programmer” that demystified what I almost deemed as not possible in my wheelhouse.

Re-mapping CC’s seems easy. And, I like that, after setup, it can be sans computer. Mapping a CC to a Sys Ex event seems possible, once I learn how to properly interpret Yamaha’s MIDI Parameter Change Table to the Sys Ex Event that the Midi Solutions Program tool wants to see.
