By connecting the MOTIF-RACK XS to your computer via USB or mLAN, you can use DAW software on the computer to create your
own original songs. This section contains an overview on how to use DAW software on a computer connected to the MOTIF-RACK XS.
nThe acronym DAW (digital audio workstation) refers to music software for recording, editing and mixing audio and MIDI data. The main DAW applications are Cubase,
Logic, SONAR and Digital Performer. Though all of these can be effectively used with the MOTIF-RACK XS, we recommend using Cubase when creating songs
together with the instrument.
