On the motif:
- utility->midi-> sync -> set to MIDI and not internal.
- Make sure your Motif is in Song mode
In Sonar:
Make sure you are sending midi clock to port 1 (if the Motif is using MIDI port 1) by looking under the midi out tab in the project preferences:
- click options -> project options-> midi out
- make sure that Transmit MIDI start/continue/stop/clock is checked.
- check use start, never continue, and check Transmit MIDI SPP.
- also, under the clock tab…make sure that audio or internal is checked.
