Motif & Dp, total newbie question Options

[tabbat]

Can you use all the sounds / voices from hardware synths like the Motifes in sequencers like Digital Performer? I am so new to this so bare with me. I know you can play general midi from a synth in a recording sequencer, but that was a long time ago for me. Plus, can you use the Motifes to control soft synths and plug ins? Thanx

Or does everyone recommend just getting a midi controller keyboard like the ones from m-audio and use plug ins for the sounds?

all help is appreciated a lot.

first.... lets make sure you understand that midi carries no audio signals

that being said... the only way you can get the motif sounds into DP is to... well run audio ouputs of the motif or use MLAN into your computer or audio interface and record an actual audio track of the synth as you control it live or by sending it a midi track to control it.

so not sure of what you are trying to achieve really but it sounds like you are only dealing with midi and if this is the case... you need sound module plugins in DP like soft synths or samplers to get sound into DP from midi off the motif.
