Adjusting the volume of each Part
You can adjust the volume for each of eight Parts, using the
panel sliders.
When one of Tracks 1 – 8 is currently selected, the eight
sliders are used to adjust the volume for Parts 1 – 8. When
one of Tracks 9 – 16 is selected, the sliders are used to
adjust the volume for Parts 9 – 16. The track can be
selected by turning the [TRACK] button on and pressing
the desired Number button.
In addition to sliders, Knobs 1 – 8 can be used to affect the
sound of the Song playback in real time. For details, see
page 180.
Preparing for Realtime
Recording
Soon you’ll record your keyboard performance, recording a
melody to Track 1. First though, you’ll need to set up the
MOTIF XS for realtime recording.
1 Press the [SONG] button to enter the Song
Play mode then select a Song containing no
data.
2 Press the [I] (Record) button to enter the
Song Record mode.
The Record Setup display appears.
3 Set the following parameters on the Record
Setup display.
3-1 With the [TRACK] lamp turned on, press the Number
button [1] to set the recording track to 1. The red
circle symbol is shown at the REC TR column of
Track 1. The Record Part is automatically set to 1.
3-2 Move the cursor to Time Signature (Meter) then set
the value. Here, set this to “4/4.”
3-3 Move the cursor to Tempo then set the desired value.
Here, set this to “144.”
3-4 Move the cursor to Record Type then select
“replace.” This method overwrites the previous
recorded data.
3-5 Set Quantize to “240.” This convenient feature lets
you automatically quantize the notes in real time, as
you record. Quantize aligns the timing of note events
to the nearest beat. Normally, the smallest note value
in the notation sheet (you will play) should be set.
3-6 Select the Voice for recording by specifying the
Bank and Number. The value set here is applied to
Part 1 of the Mixing.
3-7 Press the [F5] button to turn the Metronome on O.
Pressing the [F5] button toggles the Metronome on
and off.
