Hello everybody,
Anybody knows how to remote select a Motif Rack XS "multi" from PA2x?
I know I have to send MSB: 63 + LSB: 68 + multi # (1-127).
But how?

Hi!
You can send 63.68.PC on the same midi track number you have set in the motif rack as receiving midi-channel, when the track-control on the Pa2XPro
with the same midi-track set to external.
For the Yamaha Motif rack the get the program-change you want, you have to give it a PC = Multi-number - 1.

Thanks for reply Tom
What I want is to use PA2 as controler only and Motif Rack as generator for all 8 tracks of a style.
Of course I've put all 8 tracks on external,everything is working but I want to memorize Motif "multi" on PA2,either as style or performance,or song..etc
I mean,if I select a style,performance or song (one of them,doesn't matter which one) to be selected automaticaly the multi from Motif.
Is this possible,or not?

Hi!
You only need to have one track sending the program-change command to Motif rack. I am using track 3 on my Pa2XPro (Up3, it is often muted in the style).
Tracks set to external will not play on the Pa2XPro.
If you save the setup in a STS and save the style in songbook it will automatically select the multi with the style when you select that song.

Hi Tom,
Sorry but I think I am too stupid because I don't understand anything.

Ok,I found the solution
I don't know why but is working only on midi channel 1 (upper 1)
You have to send on this track 63.68.0-127 ,then save it as performance.

Hi Tom,
Thank you very much for your help,I already solved the problem.
The difference is I prefer to save in performance because of faster acces.
Now I understand why It was working only on channel 1.Because I was in "multi page" (and utility from multi is different than utility from voice)
Well,MIDI is not for everyone,I am happy there are people like you to help,Big Thanks again,
Regards
