Motif XF Rack & Soundfonts

[Gerard]

Hi all, it has been a while since I posted.
It might be better to state what I am trying to do to make it easier to understand my problem.
I want to use the Motif rack for General Midi sounds and other select sounds of my choosing from the different banks.
I also want to use some soundfonts I have.

I have a USB connection from Motif into computer.
I have UM-One from midi out to Motif Rack.

Setting 1:
If I set
MIDI 1 to Yamaha Motif XS -1
MIDI 2 to Varranger synthesizer
all the GM sounds from the Motif play but none of the soundfonts in SAMPLES directory play.

Setting 2:
If I set
MIDI 1 to Varranger synthesizer
MIDI 2 to  Yamaha Motif XS - 1 or UM-ONE
none of the Motif sounds work.

I hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance.

On every track, you can right click and decide to SEND TO MIDI OUT 1   or   SEND TO MIDI OUT 2

[Gerard]

I just did some experimenting and found I have to call up each of my soundfonts, set each to MIDI OUT 2 and then save the sound.
That seems like a lot of work....

If the varranger synthetiser is in the out1 you have the name of soundfonts at right.
If it's in the out 2 you can select the mode Motif fx and the patchs of the expander are in the right.

[Gerard]

If  varranger synthetiser is in the out1, then it uses the  varranger synthetiser sound fonts for the GM style parts.
If varranger synthetiser is in the out2, and mode is set to Motif, I still have to SEND TO MIDI OUT 2

[Lylo]

Motif out1 with mode Motif
Vasynth out2 with mode gm or xg or ts.

After you select out1 or out2 on each track.

[Gerard]

The only sounds going to MIDI OUT 2 are my soundfonts.
I have to call up each of my soundfonts, set each to MIDI OUT 2 and then save the sound.

Yes, this is a normal procedure. When you are finshed
editing of Style, than go to Save > Song, and this Style
will be always come with all sounds from Midi 1; 2 and 3
like you edited it. Amazing !!!
