Sampling

Quick Start Guide (page 99) · Reference (page 233)

Sampling is a powerful function that lets you bring your own recorded sounds — voice, instrument, rhythm, special sound effects, etc. — into the system of the MOTIF, and play those sounds just like any other MOTIF sound. Individual waveform data contained in the MOTIF is referred to as a “Sample.”

The following diagram shows the Sampling structure.
