I have just got a yamaha MOXF8 and I want to record the midi data for performances into Sonar. I need to know how one can separate the parts to individual tracks as the MOXF runs all performance data on a single MIDI channel. Apparently in Cubase there is a control called Dissolve Parts which does this very thing.
 
So if someone can post links to any tutorials on this, or can provide any further information I would be grateful.
 
Thanks

I would doubt that Yamaha uses only one channel for a backing track. Drums will be on Channel 10 and piano etc on other channels. 
If it even outputs the midi data at all. Some don't. 
But there is a CAL script that will seperate the channels. 

No you are wrong - Yamaha DOES use a single midi channel for its four part Performances, sorry!

You're better off asking on the Motifator forums. This is more a question with the setup of the MOXF. Not sure it's possible to do.

Yeah rlared - fair dues to that!

Select the track and from the Process Menu select Cal split notes to tracks. Make sure that the track containing the midi is the last track

thanks Mudgel although I do know about CAL, I use it regularly. But the point is as a Yamaha Performance (running arps) uses only channel 1, it makes it a bit difficult to know which notes are drums which are bass which are synth  etc etc . Most performances consist of four parts all running on channel 1.

A custom CAL is all I can think of unless the hardware can have the output adjusted (never used one, but would seem probable). If the splits are static, is one CAL; but if dynamic, I would hunt for a hardware output setting.

... which has 2 modes: by channel and by pitch.
Since you write everything is in one channel, it is by pitch, so

Single notes are "static", so if you still believe Dissolve Parts can do the trick for you, "Split note to Tracks" CAL can do that as well.
 

From a very brief reading of the MOXF8 manual: In performance mode, the MOXF8 separates parts by note range and velocity range, rather than channel. In Sonar, it is easy to select notes by value or range. Velocity range can be selected by the more complex "Edit > Select > By Filter".
 
Arpeggios are emitted on the MIDI output if selected by the Output Switch. Looks like the channel for arpeggio output can be set to something other than the keyboard channel.
