Basic Structure
Sampling Block
Sampling is a powerful function that lets you bring your own recorded sounds – voice, instrument, rhythm, special sound effects,
etc. – into the system of this synthesizer, and play those sounds just as you would the Voices of the instrument.
In order to use the Sampling features of the instrument, you’ll need to install DIMM memory modules (sold separately) to the instrument.
nIn addition to being able to record samples directly with the MOTIF ES, you can also import existing audio data (in WAV or AIFF file format) in the File mode.
This lets you use audio you’ve recorded and edited on computer with the instrument.
