Hello, I am using a sequencer on a laptop to play MIDI files via my Motif ES, I can access all the different voices on the ES by sending standard control codes. Is it possible to select a performance using control codes from the sequencer rather than a standard voice?, thanks |

The answer depends on what you mean by “standard control codes” (I presume you’re referring to Bank Select and Program Change messages), and what the sequencer program is capable of.
The ES Data List states on page 67:
What that means is if the ES is in Voice mode, Program Change messages can select Voices. If it’s in Performance mode, Program Change messages can select Performances. However, if you want your sequencer to change the mode the ES is in, that can only be done using SysEx Parameter/Mode Change messages.
Mode Change message for Motif ES:
Example:

Hi, I don’t want to change the mode, the keyboard has to be in “Song” mode to allow the playing of midi files, I just want to be able to play a performance on midi channel 1 instead of a single voice. |

Thanks for clarifying what you want to do.
You could copy a Performance to a Song.
