Hi JenniferRodriquez, Welcome to the forum. The ‘To Host’ USB connection on a Motif XS is for MIDI data only and does not carry audio. The main L/R analog outputs on your Motif need to be connected to suitable amplification in order for you to hear it, even when in use with a computer based sequencer such as Logic. I’m assuming you’ve already done this, but I thought I’d mention it anyway. You also need to be using an External MIDI Track in Logic for the Motif voices (not an instrument track). When working with a program like Logic, most people will put their Motif in Song or Pattern Mode, which will enable you to use up to 16 different voices simultaneously. |
