what i hope is that you can connect the motif, using mlan/firewire, to your computer and then use the editor as if it was a vst plugin with the audio comming out of the editor in the mixer...

but what i hope not is that you have to select the motif as the asio interface and then you can route audio back and forth as if it was a soundcard BUT not beeing able to use your normal soundcard's inputs and outputs...

could someone clear this up for me? if it's the second option there's no need for me to get the mlan option and i'll just connect it to my inputs of my soundcard and make it an external instrument, as usual..

thanks for the help...
I'm pretty sure if you get the mLan option installed then it all just travels through the firewire right into Cubase 5. And it's integrated as VST3. That would be the whole point of installing the mLan and using Cubase 5, although I think you can do this with any VST host. Peace. If you look on the yamahasynth.com it will explain it all to you. mLan is nice and solid once you get it working. I run two i88x in unison for 20 audio channels and it works fine. Only limited by your PC's power.
