Sampling Record mode

Sampling Record mode

Basic Operation (page 58)

In this mode, you can record sounds to the MOTIF (for example, your voice, a guitar, or sounds from a CD), edit them, and use them to create special Sample voices you can play from the keyboard. Or, if you enter this mode from the Song or Pattern mode, the sounds you record can be assigned to the tracks and played back automatically with the song or pattern. What’s more, by using the Resampling function, you can create new samples from your edits, or make samples from the sounds of the MOTIF itself.

◆Data created by Sampling

Regardless of the mode, the raw Sampled data is the same, of course. However, various parameters are different, depending on the particular mode or settings. See page 59 for details on the kinds of data that are created in the Sampling function.

◆Basic Procedure

1 To use a microphone or external audio source, make all the appropriate connections. For details, see “Analog input” and “Digital input” on page 23.

nIf you want to use the sound of the MOTIF as a recording source (with the Resampling function), step #1 above is unnecessary.

 

2 Depending on how you want to use your created

 

sample, there are two ways you should proceed:

 

• To create a normal (User) voice —

 

Enter the Voice or Performance mode. To use the sound of

function), select the desired voice or performance.

 

• To create a Sample track in a song

mode. (The indicator lights.)

nEven when you enter the Sampling Record mode, the indicator of the previous mode’s button remains lit, allowing you to confirm which mode you entered from.

4 Press the [F1] button and set the destination- related parameters for the sample. (These determine the memory location to which the sample will be recorded and assigned.)

nWhen entering the Sampling Record mode from the Voice/Performance mode, the recorded sample is automatically stored to the Waveform and User voice set in this display.

nWhen entering the Sampling Record mode from the Song/Pattern mode, the recorded sample is automatically stored to the track set in this display as a Sample voice.

5 Press the [F2] button and set the source-related parameters for the audio input.

6 Press the [F6] button to go to the Sampling standby display and set the Trigger mode in this display.

7 Press the [F6] button again to start sampling, and play the input source at the proper time. How and when you should play the source depends on the settings made in step #5 above (and described on page 236), and the process you use (described briefly below).

• When the Source is set to “A/D” or “digital”:

Any of the following audio input jacks/terminals on the MOTIF can be used for sample recording:

-A/D INPUT jacks

-mLAN terminals (when the optional mLAN8E has been installed)

-DIGITAL IN jack (when the optional AIEB2 has been installed)

-OPTICAL IN jack (when the optional AIEB2 has been installed)

•When the Source is set to “resample”:

The sound generated by the MOTIF itself (Song/Pattern playback, keyboard performance) can be recorded as a sample.

How sampling actually starts depends on the Trigger mode setting made in step #6 above (and described on page 237), and the process you use (described briefly below).
