Accessing Yamaha Motif XS8 sound bank using Logic Pro X
I just got Logic Pro X and want to record sounds from my Yamaha Motif XS8's sound bank. I see that the midi data is recording but there is no sound playing. Can anyone help?

How have you connected your Motif to your Mac?
Midi both ways? (What interface are you using?)
Are you using an external Instrument track in Logic to record and send midi data to and from Logic?
How are you recording the audio output of your Motif?
Have you conntected the audio output of your Motif to audio inputs of an audio interface (again if so, which interface) and created a Audio track in Logic to record the audio output?
You do realize that Midi is not audio yes?
You may find this thread on LPH of use....

I Have the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 Interface. I have the XS8 L/R audio cables connected to the Saffire and also MIDI IN/OUT connected directly to my MacBookPro.
Ok.. so... use an external instrument track to record and send midi back to the Motif.. and then create a second Audio track to record the incoming Audio from the Motif and you should be set to go..
Again, refer to the link I posted for more assistance with achieving this...
