Pattern Job Procedure
1
From the Pattern Play display, press the [JOB]
button to enter the Pattern Job mode.
2 Select the desired Job menu by pressing one
of the [F1] – [F6] buttons.
3 Move the cursor to the desired Job by using
the data dial, [INC/DEC] and [DEC/NO] buttons,
then press the [ENTER] button to call up the
Job display.
4 Move the cursor to the desired parameter, then
set the value by using the data dial, [INC/YES]
and [DEC/NO] buttons.
5 After setting, press the [ENTER] button to
execute the Job.
“Completed” will appear when the Job is done.
In some Jobs, the operation overwrites any data previously
existing in the destination memory. Important data should
always be saved to a USB storage device connected to the
USB TO DEVICE terminal or to a computer connected to the
same network as the MOTIF XS (page 278).
6 Press the [EXIT] button twice to go back to the
Pattern Play display.
n If there is no data in the specified range, “No Data” will
appear on the display and the Job cannot be executed.
n If you make a mistake or want to compare the sound of the
data before and after executing a Job, press the [F1]
button to use the Undo/Redo function.
Even if a Job operation has been completed, selecting a
different Pattern or turning the power off without storing will
erase the Pattern data. Make sure to store the Pattern data to
internal memory by pressing the [STORE] button before
selecting a different Pattern or turning the power off.
n Some of the Jobs which enable you to copy the Sample
Voice from the source to the destination execute the actual
copy operation only when the Bank Select and Program
Change events which specify the Sample Voice are
recorded in the source Track.
[F1] Undo/Redo
This is the same as in the Song Job mode. See page 196.
[F2] Note Jobs
The Note Jobs in the Pattern mode are basically same as in
the Song Job mode. However, unlike in the Song Job
mode, Pattern Note Jobs are applied to the Phrases (001 –
256) and a selected range in the Phrase (measure : beat :
clock).
[F3] Event Jobs
The Event Jobs in the Pattern mode are basically same as
in the Song Job mode. However, unlike in the Song Job
mode, Pattern Event Jobs are applied to the Phrases (001
– 256) and a selected range in the Phrase (measure : beat
: clock).
n In “03: Erase Event Job,” “Tempo Change,” “Scene Memory,”
or “Track Mute” cannot be selected as Event Types, unlike in
the Song Erase Event Job.
n In “05: Create Continuous Data Job” and “07: Modify Control
Data Job,” “Tempo Change” cannot be selected as Event
Types, unlike in the Song Job mode.
[F4] Phrase Jobs
This Job copies a selected Phrase to the designated
destination Phrase. Also the Sample Voices used in the
selected Phrase can be copied. This is useful if you are
creating a Pattern and wish to use the Phrase data from
another Pattern.
1 Source Phrase
2 Destination Phrase
Determines the Pattern number (01 – 64) and Phrase
number (001 – 256) of the source and destination
respectively.
3 Copy Sample Voice
When this box is checkmarked, Sample Voices assigned to
the source Phrase are copied to the destination Phrase as
Sample Voices, and are assigned to the corresponding
tracks in the selected Pattern. Make sure to set this
parameter to on when coping the Phrase using the Sample
Voice. When there is no memory available in the
destination Pattern for Sample Voice data, an alert
message will appear on the display and the Sample Voice
data will not be copied. If this occurs, use Sample Job 02:
Delete to delete any unused samples, then try again.
