Midi Confusion...i Need Help...i'm Worthless Options

[hermanfrankman]

I have a Motif 6 running through a Tascam US 122 through to Garageband. My goal is to be able to record midi data using the voices on the Motif. Is that even possible? I have been able to record the voices of the Motif into Garageband with a normal cable but when I hook up a midi cable from the synth to the interface, I am not able to record the voices from the Motif as it becomes a control for the software instruments in Garageband. Am I doing something obviously wrong? Is there something I need to adjust in Garageband or is it probably something on the synth? I would love some help friends....
