[RWP] Getting sounds from a midi synthesizer to play in Reaper?

[Chris Belle]

That motu seems like it'd be a nice little device.

Thanks so much for the reassurance about analog devices being still used to make great professional recordings. That really put my mind at ease. I still might invest in the motu audio express. Don't know yet though.

>>> I have a Yamaha Motif XS8 connected via USB to Reaper so that I can use it as a midi controler, and everything works fine. I can load kontakt and sfz files into Reaper, play chords on the motif and the notes are sent properly from the synth to the computer. However, the XS8 has some incredible sounds that I want to access so that I can record them in my projects, without needing to go from the line-out of the synth to the line-in of a mixing board where there might be hiss, noise, static, etc. Is there any way to send the sounds from the XS8 directly to the computer itself using midi, instead of having to solely go the analog route? The XS8 has spdif, but I have nothing else in my setup that allows me to use spdif and I'm not too familiar with the complexity of that format anyway. Any help would be appreciated.
