Creating a Song on the MOTIF ES

Owner’s Manual
Quick Guide — Advanced Course
Using the Groove function
Just as in the Pattern Play mode, the Groove function is
available also in the Song Play mode.
For details, refer to the explanation of Groove in the Pattern
Play mode (page 114).
The created Song data resides temporarily in DRAM (page 187). Because
data contained in DRAM is lost when the power is turned off, you should
always store any data residing in DRAM to a SmartMedia/USB storage
device before turning off the power.
Sampling a one-shot sound to a Song
track
The MOTIF ES conveniently lets you sample audio material,
even while a Song is playing. This allows you to quickly and
easily “fly in” samples to your Song as you need them — for
example, capturing short sound effects from a CD, or
recording background vocal phrases with a microphone.
Sounds like these can be added to the Song as desired, and
can even be aligned in time as needed after recording in the
Song Edit mode.
In order to use the Sampling function, DIMM modules must be
installed to the instrument. For details on installing DIMMs, see page
289.
