@ 2:16 - "Once you've finished upsetting your computer..." LOL!!! I know that's not what he meant but, he is using a PC, after all.

[cmorganis]

it does sound like that but i am sure you know i said 'finished up setting your computer'. My native language is Greek, I wonder if you could speak Greek as I do English?...ha!

[tobairo1]

cmorgan, you are a great instructor! One question please. Must I have internet access to get the ip addresses?

Also, can I insert a microphone to motif to record audio track? if yes, which port?

Please give me the step by step vocoder processes...

God bless!!!

[cmorganis]

You do not need internet. You can use a router if in the room with motif or just a crossover cable like in this vid.

As for the vocoder check out my second tutorial.

Great video, I have question. I'm looking to connect my XS to my computer and get a .wav or .mp3 for sharing with friends. What do you have to do to be able to do this? Are you able to use the sounds of the Motif itself or will they be replaced by the midi sounds of your computer? Thank you.

cmorganis,

I am writing from Mandeville, Jamaica W.I. I appreciate yoru videos, they really help. I realize that the network does work with windows 7, so I imagine the crossover cable would be the ideal setup for me. I do have my wifi router and tried connectin git that way but wasn't succesful. Do you know wehre we can find more instructional videos like yours?

@9manav you must convert to audio. A midi file is just a bunch of notes (data no audio) so your PC goes and adds piano sounds and it sounds jumbled like that. Follow my tutorials - check out the 4rth tutorial there is a lot for you to learn there.
