Slice - Yamaha MOTIF XF Reference Manual

Creating a Voice/Performance by Using the Sampling Function
Key Bank
Determines the Key Bank to which the desired Sample is
assigned by specifying the Waveform number (001 – 128).
The Key range and Velocity range of the Key Bank to which
the selected Waveform is assigned are automatically
shown below the Waveform number.
Type
Determines the degree to which the looped portion of the
Sample will be sliced.
Settings: 1 – 4
Variation
Determines how the original Sample is varied by this Job.
Settings: normal1 – 2, reverse1 – 2
normal1 – 2
These settings slice and rearrange the Sample data, without
performing any other audio changes.
reverse1 – 2
In addition to slicing and rearranging, these settings reverse the
playback of some of the slices.
NOTICE
The Job execution is divided into two stages: temporary data
conversion via the [SF4] Apply button and actual data entry via the
[ENTER] button. The Job result will be lost if you call up a different
display without finalizing the data via the [ENTER] button.

11: Slice

This Job lets you divide the Sample into separate "slices,"
the number of which is determined by the note length (with
Measure, Meter, and Sub Divide). Sliced Samples are
assigned to each of keys in ascending order from the Key
Bank specified at the Lowest Key ( ) parameter. When
entering this Job from the Song/Pattern mode, note data for
playing the slices in sequence is also created. Playing
back the note data and the slices in order results in the
same sound as the original "un-sliced" Sample.
