Support for CMC series controllers
The MOTIF XF can now be connected to the Steinberg CMC-PD
or CMC-FD, letting you record rhythm patterns to the MOTIF XF
by playing the CMC-PD or edit the Mixing parameters from the
CMC-FD.
Connection of CMC-PD or CMC-FD to MOTIF
XF
Plug the USB cable supplied with the CMC-PD or CMC-FD into
the USB TO DEVICE terminal of the MOTIF XF and the USB TO
HOST terminal of the CMC-PD or CMC-FD.
NOTE
The CMC-PD or CMC-FD is bus-powered by the MOTIF XF
through the USB cable.
Playing the MOTIF XF from the CMC-PD
After connecting the CMC-PD to the MOTIF XF, you can play the
MOTIF XF from the CMC-PD simply by hitting the Pads. Hitting
the Pads transmits MIDI note numbers with velocity data to the
MOTIF XF, then sounds the Voice currently selected on the
MOTIF XF.
NOTE
•
Pressing the MOTIF XF keyboard lights the LED of the CMC-
PD Pad to which the corresponding MIDI note number is
assigned. (Note that the LED lamp does not light when Local
Switch is set to off or Internal Switch of the selected track is
set to off.)
• You can use a computer to assign MIDI note numbers and
velocity data to the Pads by using the editor bundled with the
CMC-PD.
• You can also change the Pad Bank, Velocity curve and
Velocity mode. For details about the operation of the CMC-
PD, refer to the CMC-PD Owner's Manual.
Controlling Mixing parameters from CMC-FD
You can control the Mixing parameters of the Song/Pattern mode
from the CMC-FD.
