Sampling Record—[F6] Standby
This display is used for executing Sampling. Press the [F6]
button from the Setup display to call up this display. Press
the [EXIT] button to go back to the Setup display.
1 Waveform (Indication only)
Indicates the number and name of the selected Waveform.
2 Key (Key Range) (Indication only)
Indicates the key range of the currently selected Key Bank.
3 Velocity (Velocity Range) (Indication only)
Indicates the velocity range of the currently selected Key
Bank.
4 Record Monitor
Determines the output level of the monitor for the input
signal while Sampling. The time indicated here is
calculated assuming a mono signal with a sampling
frequency of 44.1 kHz. This monitor signal is output from
the PHONES jack or the OUTPUT R and L/MONO jacks.
Settings: 0 – 127
5 Record Gain
This parameter is available only when the Input Source
(page 164) is set to “resample” (recording the sound of the
MOTIF XS itself). This determines the recording gain when
resampling. The higher the value, the greater the volume of
the resampled sound. Before executing the Sampling
operation, you can set the appropriate gain by checking
the volume via the Level Meter ()) while playing the
keyboard.
Settings: -12dB, -6dB, +0dB, +6dB, +12dB
6 Key
Indicates the Keybank (page 165) set in the Sampling
Record Setup display. The Key Bank can be changed both
here and in Sampling Edit (page 167) after the Sampling
operation.
Settings: C -2 – G8
n You can also set the Key directly from the keyboard, by
holding down the [SF6] KBD button and pressing the desired
key. For details, see page 82.
7 Trigger Level
When the Trigger Mode (8) is set to “level,” you’ll also
need to set the Trigger Level. Sampling will begin as soon
as an input signal exceeding the specified trigger level is
received. The level set here will be indicated as a red
triangle in the level meter. For best results, set this as low
as possible to capture the entire signal, but not so low as to
record unwanted noise.
Settings: 000 – 127
8 Trigger Mode
Determines the method by which Sampling will be triggered.
Settings: level, manual
level
Sampling starts as soon as an input signal exceeding the specified
Trigger Level (7) is received.
manual
Sampling starts soon after you press the [F6] REC button. This setting
lets you start Sampling at your desired timing regardless of the input
level from audio source.
9 Recordable Time (Indication only)
Indicates the available Sampling time using the available
memory. The time indicated here is calculated assuming a
mono signal with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. The
amount of memory space currently being used is shown in
the display as a blue line.
) Level Meter
This graph indicates the input level of the input source. Try
to get the input level as high as possible without clipping
for the best sound quality.
n Follow the instructions below to adjust the input level.
• When the Input Source is set to A/D Input, adjust the input
signal level by using the GAIN knob on the rear panel. If you
cannot adjust the input level appropriately, change the Mic/
Line setting (page 263) in the Utility mode.
• When the Input Source is set to Resample, adjust the input
signal level by setting the Record Gain (5).
• When the Input Source is set to mLAN, the input level
cannot be adjusted.
! [SF1] Confirm
This determines whether you can confirm the recorded
Sample (on) or not (off) after Sampling is finished. This is
useful for conveniently recording again if you are not
satisfied with the Sampling results. When this is turned off,
the recorded sample is fixed as data as soon as the
Sampling is finished then the instrument returns to the
Setup display (page 164). Please note that the instrument
returns to the STANDBY display after the Sampling is
finished when Record Next is turned on in the Setup
display.
@ [F5] Start
Press this button to start Sampling.
When the Trigger mode is set to “level,” pressing the [F5]
Start button calls up the WAITING indication on the display.
Actual Sampling does not start. When audio signal
exceeding the specified Trigger Level (7) is input to the
instrument, the RECORDING indication replaces the
WAITING indication and Sampling starts.
