Hi Everyone,

I'm noticing some strange keyboard (external) behavior as it pertains to the faders (via the GUI) on the keybard itself.

Allow me to explain by example:

I've created a song in BB and recorded a MIDI part via the THRU input using my Yamaha Motif (no VST/DXI).

THRU is prescribed (in Channel settings) to be channel 5.

BB slaps this data (by default) to the MELODY track (no big).

Melody track is set to channel 4.

An interesting "thing" takes place when I drag/drop the Melody track to my DAW.

When I move any Motif sliders (there's 8 on the face), the Motif's GUI shows that...no matter which Motif channel slider I move...only the channel 5 slider moves in its GUI.

This is while the Motif is in a Multi-timbral mode (SONG mode for ex) with the MIXING window front and center---showing all 16 tracks etc.

Now, at the moment, this is not a hindrance, as I've chosen to stick with the one MIDI part for the song.

However, I can see this being a problem if I wanted to lay down other Motif generated MIDI parts on other channels within my DAW...as no other fader movements on any other channel is being recognized by the Motif.

EEEK!

There is definitely something going on here that I need to hammer out.

In contrast...just to let you know, I have of course recorded numerous tunes with my DAW just using the Motif, and the behavior of the faders/ch is normal; ie, chan 1, fader 1, all werky, werky...thru 16.

Definitely a strange isloation phenomenom to say the least.

Anyone out there experienced this?

This whole "home studio" thing can be a REAL mind bender sometimes.

I don't seem to have too many synapses left as it is...LOL

Thanks all,
Eric
