Great!! So I updated to 8.1 now it's all showing up. Tho the mext did crash  Now to figure out this routing. Boy do I miss the days of my combination of the D-70, W30 & MPC!

In the Midi output it will not allow me to select MXPXT. It's stuck on microsoft gs wavetable. I can not figure out how to disable it. Anyone had this issue? And now I keep getting "The Device could not be opened". I'm searching the motunation.com forum. Oddly I get more feedback here
 

Five0,
Are you definitely logged in as an "administrator"? If so - maybe you need to "run as administrator" when you install the drivers?
 
This should be straightforward - the drivers install, and they're available in SONAR.
Also - you shouldn't need to worry about routing. The MOTU manual says, when you're using a sequencer - just set it to prg 1 "sequencer 30fps" (with a button on th efront of the device) and that's it. SONAR will take care of your routing etc.
 
I've been using mine for so long - I forget about it - it just works. It worked in XP, then Win 7 and then win 8 (and 8.1)
 
I'm not saying this to annoy you - I'm just saying that this is *supposed* to be straightforward. Sometimes that helps to troubleshoot (ie I often say "I shouldn't have to be doing all this - let me check something more fundamental...")

Yea, I always run as admin. Like I said I have it all installed. I'm just having routing issues. It's showing in Sonar & clockworks as "MXPXT". I can even get some signal. It's just doing something weird. BTW... thanks a ton for helping me to get this much figured out. We have different setups so my path will be a bit different than yours. I just have to figure it out.

You can see the 8 ports though - right? Not just mxpxt...

Yeah, I can see the ports. 



You can't see because it's a still but the Sequencer 30 is constantly flashing also.

Update.... 

I got all the drivers installed Sonar recognizes it, I can see all the ports in my software etc... Unfortunately motu tech support said clockwork will not work with this unit. So as of now it seems this unit was a waste of $$$$! My sole reason for needing it was to use my Fantom X7 as a controller for my MV8800 with all my soft synths. Without the routing ability of clockworks all that seems impossible.
