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. Briefly, here is an explanation of what kinds of data are created in the Sampling function.

●Sampling data common to all modes•Wave (Sample data)

This is the raw audio data stored in the MOTIF’s memory when sampling. For details on Wave, see page 44.

•Key Bank

The note range and velocity range to which the Sample is assigned, is called the Key Bank.

•Waveform

The group of Key Banks to which sample data is assigned is called the Waveform.

For a clearer idea of the explanations above, see the following illustration. In this example, the Waveform is made up of five Samples, assigned to a key range of D#2 - F4, in five Key Banks.

●Data created by sampling in the Voice/ Performance mode•User Voice

The sample data of Waves recorded or imported to the MOTIF cannot be played directly. First, they must be saved as User Voices, which when selected, can be played from the keyboard or sequencer. Also, these User Voices can be assigned as Performance parts — just as with the Preset Voices.

Main functions

Voices that are automatically stored when sampling in the Song/Pattern mode are referred to as “Sample Voices.” Sample Voices can be assigned to instrument parts corresponding to the track which was assigned in the Sampling Setup display, and they can be sounded while Song/Pattern data is being played back.

Sample Voices are original, dedicated Voices for the particular Song/Pattern that was selected when sampling. Because of this, you cannot take a Sample Voice belonging to one Song or Pattern and use it in another Song or PatternIn essence, Sample Voice data is the same as that of Normal Voices or Drum Voices — with the exception that you cannot select Sample Voices in the Voice or Performance mode. (However, you CAN select the Wave of the Sample Voice in Voice Edit.)
