Quick Start Guide (page 102)
The MOTIF features a wealth of preset phrases in a
variety of music genres. It also features comprehensive
phrase recording functions, that let you create your
own phrases and use them to build your own original
patterns.
n For details about recording methods, see page 53 .
About the recording track
When recording patterns, you’ll need to specify the
track to be recorded — just as is done in Song
recording. The operations differ depending on the
specific phrase assignments, as described below.
• If the preset phrase is assigned to the track...
You cannot record. Even if you specify the track to which
the preset phrase is assigned and try to record, an error
message will appear.
• If the user phrase is assigned to the track...
The data of the user phrase assigned to the specified track
is overwitten by recording.
• If the phrase is not assigned to the track...
Recording is donw to an empty user phrase. The newly
created phrase is automatically assigned to the recording
track.
