Wow - am I really to have the first post in this new forum? Then let me start by saying how much I love my XS8. Antipampersprof 2 0 6 Set Up Events.

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 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.
