10 Press the [F6] Stop button to stop Sampling.
If you set Confirm to on in step 7 above, the Sampling
Finished display (page 167) appears. Press the [SF1]
Audition button to hear the sampled sound. If you are
satisfied with the results, press the [ENTER] button to
store the sampled sound as a “Sample” and return to
the Setup display. If you are not satisfied with the
results and you wish to try again, press the [EXIT]
button to return to the Standby display and try
Sampling from step 5 again.
If you set Confirm to off in step 7 above, the sampled
sound will be stored as a “Sample” automatically.
n When you set Record Next (4) to “on” in step 4 above,
the instrument returns to the STANDBY display after the
Sample data is fixed. In this case, you can leave the
Sampling Record mode by pressing the [EXIT] button.
11 Save the created Waveform to a USB storage
device.
For detailed instructions on saving, see page 278.
The recorded (edited) Sample data resides temporarily in
DIMM (page 79). Any data in DIMM will be lost when turning
the power off. You should always save any data residing in
DIMM to a USB storage device or a computer connected to
the same network as the MOTIF XS before turning off the
power.
Sampling Setup—[F6] Rec
From this display you can set up various parameters for
Sampling. Press the [F6] button from the Sampling Main
display to call up this display. Press the [EXIT] button to go
back to the Sampling Main display.
1 Recording Type
Determines the Sampling type. Keep in mind that this
parameter is fixed to “sample” when entering the Sampling
mode from the Voice/Performance mode.
2 Input Source
Determines the input connector via which the signal to be
sampled will be received.
Settings: A/D Input, resample, mLAN
A/D Input
Analog audio from the A/D INPUT jacks is recognized as the recording
source.
resample
Audio signal from the OUTPUT jacks of the MOTIF XS is received and
recognized as the recording source.
mLAN
Audio signal from the mLAN connector (available for MOTIF XS8 and
available for MOTIF XS6/7 only when the optional mLAN16E2 has been
installed) is recognized as the recording source. The audio signal here
is transmitted from the computer via mLAN Ports 3 and 4.
3 Stereo/Mono
Determines whether the audio signal is recorded as mono
Sample or stereo Sample.
Settings: monoL, monoR, monoL+R, stereo
monoL
The L-channel signal will be recorded as a mono Sample.
monoR
The R-channel signal will be recorded as a mono Sample.
monoL+R
The L-channel and R-channel signals will be mixed and recorded as a
mono Sample.
stereo
A stereo Sample will be recorded.
4 Record Next
When set to on, the next key is set as destination of
Sampling automatically after the Sampling operation is
finished (including assignment of the Sample to a Key
Bank), and the Standby display appears. This parameter is
useful when you wish to record multiple Samples in
succession.
When you wish to obtain Samples successively from a
special CD containing various materials in each track, for
example, you can set this parameter to on and set the
Trigger Mode to “level”—and conveniently have the
instrument record consecutive Samples automatically. To
leave the Sampling Record mode, press the [EXIT] button.
Settings: on, off
n When both of the [SF1] Confirm and the Record Next are
turned on before the Sampling starts, the FINISHED display
appears as soon as the Sampling is finished. From the
FINISHED display, fix the Sample data by pressing the
[ENTER] button so that the instrument returns to the STANDBY
display.
n This parameter is useful when you wish to assign individual
Samples to the keys one by one to create a Drum Voice by
using the special CD containing sound of each drum
instrument as source.
n Keep in mind that the Record Next parameter may be fixed to
“off” and cannot be changed. This occurs when you enter the
Sampling mode from the Voice mode/Performance mode, set
the Voice to something other than “off,” and set the Source
(above) to “resample.”
