Good Morning everyone (Flan the Greenhorn here):

First off, if anyone happens to be in the path of Irine (or has friends and family in those effected areas) I am praying for the protection of every soul.

Now, on to the CRUX:

I using BIAB 2011 with a cool little jazz demo thing going...trying to make it my own.

I am adept at choosing higher banks via BB to my Yamaha Motif XS.

I am finding that (within the Motif) when I choose to "edit" a Motif voice (in this case it happens to be the distortion level of a guitar patch I like) all is well "while the song is playing"...even in LOOP mode it's OK.

(This is done on BB's THRU channel/track by the way.)

However, when the song is stopped and PLAY is pushed again, this voice edit reverts back to its original setting (a lower value of distortion in this case)...aarrg. Good thing lots of time was not invested here.

Some things I have tried thus far as to weed out the MIDI gremlins:
-Saved +
-Made sure nothing was "frozen" (just in case...may have no affect w/midi...not sure yet)
-Saved Motif mixer settings, and saved what is called a "mix voice" setting (this can be done within a Motif song in SONG mode; fyi).

Granted, I am NOT playing live, so later when I want to go to the DAW, I can just dial it back in.

BUT...if I WERE playing live...am I missing something?

From what I CAN tell, BB can obviously tell my Motif to set/reset some basic parameters like REV/CHO/PAN/VOL and of course patach changes etc...as they are set/saved in the current BB song.

Hmmm...well, maybe there's a MIDI filter setting on the Motif that can be set to ignore some BB things in this regard.

Scratching my head.

Thanks all...and I apologize for the long post.

Regards,
Eric
