Wow - am I really to have the first post in this new forum? Cool.
Then let me start by saying how much I love my XS8. This is the most incredible tool for composing - being able to quickly translate a thought into a recorded piece with all the voices from your head is, magic.
OK - but now I want to take advantage of the Yamaha-Steinberg synergy and connect my XS to my Windows PC to work in Cubase. I want to use the Firewire's ability to transfer both midi and audio data, so I need to install the YSFW FireWire driver on my PC.
The XS8 has been updated to OS 1,60. The PC is running Windows 7, 64-bit.
I have downloaded the latest FireWire driver from http://download.yamaha.com/search/detail/?site=usa.yamaha.com&language=en&category_id1=16277&category_id2=16381&product_id=106377&asset_file_language=EN&asset_id=21027
And followed the install instructions carefully.
At the end of installation but before powering up the motif, I receive a message that the driver had been installed successfull, and Device Manager shows me, under 'Sound, video and game controllers', that Yamaha mLAN16E2 is installed, but that's all, and I have the YSFW Driver icon in my system tray.
When I then power up the Motif, per the install instructions, the computer dings that something new has been connected, but nothing else happens. Except that now in the Control Panel I also have 'Yamaha Steinberg FW Bus' - but not the WDM MIDI or WDM Audio the instructions say I should have.
Further, if I open the the YSFW Driver panel by clicking on the icon, there are only General and About tabs - no Motif tab. And if I click on the Yamaha mLAN16E2 in the Control Panel, it says there is no driver installed for this device.
I have re-installed several times, trying different ports, different arrangements - same result.
In desperation, I turn to this new forum and will appreciate any help.
Thanks.

ReaMix: Breaking the Barriers with REAPER eBOOK-SYNTHiC4TE| Sept 01 2012| 5 MB This book does much more than just teaching you how to use basic tools (such as volume, panning, EQ, gates, compressors, delay, reverb, etc.) to get an OK mix. Although not light on theory, it has a practical emphasis, with links to archives containing some 40 or so project files, with step by step examples.
It also guides you through the relationships – some simple, some complex – that exist between the dimensions of sound and the dimensions of space. It gives you the confidence to transform your OK mixes into great mixes. These help you put your knowledge into practice.
