MOXF8 Keyboard opening "add track" and other windows in Cubase

[David_Jones1]

Hello, I’m currently running Cubase 14 Artist and using a MOXF8 as a MIDI controller. I’m not using a USB connection between the MOXF8 and Cubase as I’ve had issues with the USB driver (long story) and I am now using a Behringer USB IV as my A/D Audio device. The problem I’m having is that the middle portion of the keyboard opens various windows in the program in addition to playing notes (opening “add tracks” or a pool window). Can anyone tell me how to turn off this behavior, and just have the keyboard trigger notes, and not open various windows in the program? I appreciate any help with this. Thank you.

I use a Motif xs7. You need to make sure it’s set up correctly in studio setup. Go ahead and use search in the forum, there should be threads about this.

Also, I had issues figuring out how to use the keyboard to it’s fullest potential until I tried enabling remote on on the keyboard itself. Now it maps itself when I use it via usb.

Something to consider.

here’s a good link to another thread

Yamaha Motif XS7 Not Working With Cubase

Have a Yamaha Motif XS7, tried getting it to work with my DAW of choice (FL Studio) to no avail. Tried to get it working with Cubase 12 (Trial version). It registers the keys being pressed but there’s no sound being input through the DAW itself. My sound driver settings are correct and adding audio files to the DAW project I can hear. I assume it’s some problem with ports and inputs/outputs which is confusing af. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks Seebas, I’ll keep at it.

Thanks again Seebas for your suggestions. I figured it out. I still had the MOXF8 listed under the Remote Devices section of Studio Setup from when I was previously connected to Cubase via USB. Now that I’m using an external A/D Audio device (Behringer USB IV) I no longer needed that setting. Once I removed that entry everything worked fine. Cheers, Dave
