Motu micro express usb not triggering external sound modules

[Tom Manakis 0]

Hi i/m new here,i just recently bought a used motu micro express usb (older version serial # Microu...)

I bought the micro express to sync up with an external multitrack(Tascam dp32sd)

I downloaded the drivers( win7 64) for the micro express from motu.install went smooth.Opening clockworks i noticed in the routings window no micro express ports routings.

On Cakewalk  devices ,the micro express ports are all there ,i checked all of them.

Yet no sound,no activity on a previous project that was done using m-audio usb  hardware midi interface ,and worked perfectly.

Motu is connected to a usb 2.0 input on my pc.

I'm running cakewalk bandlab on a win7 64 bit pc.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Do you have the Merge All preset selected on the MOTU?

no,its on seq 30fps.

Try it with Merge All and make sure the MIDI out of the MIDI track in CbB is set to the correct output channel of the MOTU.

Based on using parallel port motu midi interfaces (Win 98SE, XP), the sequencer modes do not have routings; instead, routing is done through the DAW/Sequencer.  USB versions might be different, but since you don't have routings for the sequencer mode you chose, I'd say its supposed to be that way.  I will differ to others with USB versions if they work differently. (Just checked the USB manual and it looks pretty much the same.)

As for why you might not have sound in your external gear triggered from midi tracks, as rsinger noted, make sure the correct output port has been selected in Cakewalk.  

Also, double check the mutings and mappings tabs.

THANKS for the REPLY!

Output port setting are correct on cakewalk, I will check the outings and mappings on clockworks
