try this:

MIDI Out DW-8000 -> MIDI In MOTU
MIDI Out PE -> MIDI In DW-8000
MIDI Out MOTU -> MIDI in PE

Turn off Local Mode/Keyboard on the DW if you can. Otherwise you might get "MIDI echo" when playing the DW with the keys and not sequenced from the DAW.

Hey all -

Time for a really stupid question.

I want to hook up the PE to my DW-8000 and also sequence it from Ableton Live.

I have a MOTU UltraLite mk3 I'm using for the MIDI interface.

I have the DW-8000 working with Live 8.3 as I'm able to record and playback MIDI clips.  I cannot, however, get the DW-8000 to respond to the PE.

I have set the Parameters on the DW per the manual and I have the PE set to MIDI CH 1.

I'm probably doing something really dumb, but am currently recovering from a concussion suffered during a car accident so all of this is making my brain hurt to just think about!

Here's how I have the MIDI cables hooked up:

MIDI Out DW-8000 -> MIDI In PE
MIDI Out PE -> MIDI In MOTU
MIDI Out MOTU -> MIDI in DW-8000

I have a MIDI track in Ableton Live setup to get MIDI input from all available inputs and send MIDI output back to the MOTU's MIDI Port.

What stupid thing have I done here? :-)

Thanks!
