Hello.

I’m trying to figure out why the changes I make to RCV/Controller Set assignments get reverted back to defaults for each voice/part in my Multi.

Here’s what I did with Multi #001:
1. Changed the Global Controller Assigns to CC’s 21-29, and programmed these into the 9 sliders on my MIDI Controller.
2. On voice/part #1 I picked “Full Concert Grand” and set the RCV/Control Set to various assignments.
3. On voice/part #2 I assigned “Back Ground” and set the RCV/Control Set to various assignments.
4. On voice/part #3 I went with “JP Strings” and set the RCV/Control Set to various assignments.
5. On voice/part #4 I used “Jazz 2nd Perc + C3” and set the RCV/Control Set to various assignments.
6. For each voice/part #1 - 4, I set the MIDI Channel to 1 and disabled Layer Parts 1-4.

Next --
7. I saved everything to a file.
8. I clicked Store and confirmed that the changes were saved.
9. I scrolled away Multi #001 to Multi #002, then back again to Multi #001.

At this point, the RCV/Controller Set assigned are reverted back to their default values.

BTW, this will also happen if I select a new voice. So if I set the RCV/Controller Set assignments the way I want for “JP Strings” and decide to change the voice on that part to anything else, the RCV/Controller Set assignments go to their default values for that voice. I completely accept that, but am having trouble understanding why my saved assignments are not being retained after completing the above Steps #1-9.

Thanks In Advance,
Tony Gardner

First you are using the words VOICE and PART interchangeable. That’s a problem.
Second, things you Program in your Controller are not stored in the Motif-Rack XS, it only stores its own parameters.
Third, step 8 must be performed before step 7, as only STORED info gets SAVED.
STORE is the function that writes it to the Motif-Rack XS internal memory, it is the stored memory that gets Saved to a File.
Fourth, NAME your Performance before you STORE it (no mention of naming the Performance, very important).
Fifth, what do you consider “Global Controller Assigns” and why would you change these?

“Global” assignments are not stored in the MULTI, GLOBAL function must be stored while you are in [UTILITY] mode.

The rest of your post is too vague (what are various assignments) you can mention them - we know what they mean. Perhaps you should tell us what you are trying to accomplish... then we can help you get there.

I was able to resolve this one on my own.

Apparently, I didn't understand that the RCV/Controller Set assignments which I was making to the voice/parts were a part of the VOICE, not a part of the MULTI.

To correct this, I could either create each voice in one of the User Banks, and use those in my multi, or save them as one of my Mixing Voices (probably the better of the two options).

Please go ahead and close out this thread.

Cheers,
Tony G.
