mLAN16E MIDI IN: 

Port 1 < Computer 9 Internal Motif ES 
Port 2 < Computer 10 PLG150 Boards or external device 
Port 3 < Computer 11 Remote for Motif Rack 
 

Computer MIDI IN: 

Port 1 < 01X: DAW Remote 
Port 2 < 01X: MIDI A (back panel of 01X) 
Port 3 < 01X: MIDI B (back panel of 01X) 
Port 4 < 01X: Studio Manager 
Port 5 < 01X: Remote Motif ES Editor 
Port 6 (not available) 
Port 7 (not available)  
Port 8 (not available) 
Port 9 < mLAN16E: Motif ES (Controller) 
Port 10 < mLAN16E: PLG150 Boards or external device 
Port 11 < mLAN16E: Remote for Motif Rack 
Port 12 < mLAN16E: not used in this setup example 
 

What we are doing here is setting up so that we 
can (via MIDI) …   

1)  …remote control the 01X via Studio Manager 

software. “Studio Manager” can be thought of as 
mirror of the internal digital mixer.  

2)  …remote control the Digital Audio Workstation 

(DAW) sequencer from the front panel of the 01X 
(when the 01X’s red Remote is lit) – there are an 
unlimited number of control channels in Remote 
mode in banks of 8 channels. 

3)  …remote control the Motif ES via the “Multi-Part 

Editor for Motif ES” from the 01X (when the red 
Remote is flashing [SHIFT] + [REMOTE]). Motif ES 
parameters will be shown in the 01X screen. 

4)  …remote control the Motif Rack via Multi-Part Editor 

for Motif Rack from the Motif ES front panel – this 
will be using the Motif ES’s ability to act as a 
general remote control device. 

 

Studio Manager: Mirror image of the Internal 01X 

• 

Open the STUDIO MANAGER program.  

• 

Find the MIDI SETUP box (“floats” outside the main 
program). Click on it to see MIDI Setup. 

 
MIDI SETUP 

 

 

Above is a screen shot of the MIDI SETUP dialog 

box.  

We will be using the following MIDI IN and OUT 

devices: 

 

mLAN MIDI In (3) Motif Rack to 01X’s MIDI-B  
mLAN MIDI In (4) Studio Manager  
mLAN MIDI In (5) Remote Motif ES Editor 
mLAN MIDI In (9) Motif ES Controller (kbd) to Computer 
mLAN MIDI In (11) Remote Motif Rack Editor 

 

mLAN MIDI Out (3) Motif Rack from 01X’s MIDI-B  
mLAN MIDI Out (4) Studio Manager 
mLAN MIDI Out (5) Remote Motif ES Editor 
mLAN MIDI Out (6) Motif ES (TG)  
mLAN MIDI Out (8) Remote Motif Rack Editor 

 
STUDIO MANAGER System Setup 

• 

Under the FILE menu find SYSTEM SETUP. 

 

 

 

Studio Manager SYSTEM SETUP shown above – 

remote  control  is  on  mLAN  PORT  4.  The  function 
of Studio Manager is to be a bi-directional  and 

simultaneous control over the internal 01X 

digital mixer. This will become clearer as you 
begin to work. When you make a change on the 

front panel of the 01X it will be immediately 

reflected on the Studio Manager software and vice 
versa. Studio Manager will also save all your 

Libraries: Input/Output Patch library, EQ library, 

Dynamics library and Effects library. The beauty 

of Studio Manager is it is a representation of 
exactly what you are doing on the hardware 01X. 

Studio Manager files (.x1x) will contain not only a 

snapshot of the initial condition of the 01X for 
each session – it can contain all the Library files. 

That is, all your Effect setups, EQ library, Dynamic 

Processor library, Scenes and Input/Output Patch 
library. [See the Power User on “Studio Manager” 

for more details].
