back.
$ [SF2] LP=ST
When the menu indication here is “LP=ST,” the Start (Start
Point) and the Loop (Loop Start Point) will share the same
address, meaning that both of them will be changed
simultaneously, even if just one of them is changed.
Pressing the [SF2] button in this condition changes the
menu from “LP=ST” to “LP≠ST.” When the menu indication
here is “LP≠ST,” the Start (Start Point) and the Loop (Loop
Start Point) can be changed independently. When pressing
the [SF2] button in this condition, the address value of the
Start will be copied to the one of the Loop, with the result
that both of them share the same address value. The menu
indication also changes from “LP≠ST” to “LP=ST.”

display
When the Recording Type (page 244) is set to “slice+seq,”
you can call up this display by pressing the [F6] Slice
button in the Record Slice display. From this display, you
can divide the recorded Sample into several slices
according to the rhythm of the original Sample. By
executing the Slice operation, the recorded Sample is first
divided into “slices” to be stored as a Sample Voice, then
these slices are assigned to successive notes on the
keyboard. These notes are then automatically arranged in
MIDI sequence data (to the specified track) for playback.
The procedure on the Record Slice display is as follows.
1 Select a Slice Type (6).
2 Set the amount of Measures (7) for Sample
playback.
3 Set the Meter (8), Sub Divide (9), and
Sensitivity ()).
4 Press the [SF4] Apply button to execute Slice.
The Apply indication color will change from green to
gray. At this time, the Sample has been modified
temporarily and is not fixed as data.
5 Confirm the result of the Slice operation.
Press the [SF1] Audition button to hear the modified
Sample. If you are satisfied with the result, go on to the
step 6. If you are not satisfied with the results and want
to try again, press the [SF4] Apply button again to abort
the Slice operation and return the Sample to the original
status. The Apply indication color returns to green. In
this case, attempt the operation again from step 1.
6 Press the [ENTER] button to fix the Slice result
as Sample data.
The instrument returns to the Setup display.
7 Press the [EXIT] button a number of times to
go back to the Song mode or Pattern mode.
Listen to the recorded track having the sliced Sample.

Pattern data to internal memory then save the
created Waveform to a USB storage device or
to a computer connected via network to the
MOTIF XS.
