Audio Recording to Song/Pattern (Sampling mode)
Recording Type
Determines the recording method. The Sampling
procedure and created Sample data differ depending on
the setting here.
Settings: slice+seq, sample, sample+note
slice+seq
The recorded Sample is automatically 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. For example, if a
1-measure drum pattern is sampled and a 8th note size is specified,
the recorded measure will be sliced into (approximately) eight Samples
which will be assigned to the eight consecutive notes on the keyboard.
sample
The recorded audio signal is just stored as a Sample Voice. This setting
produces no MIDI sequence data resulting that the recorded Sample is
not played back even when playing back the Song/Pattern.
sample+note
In addition to sample data, the appropriate note data for playing the
sample is created and recorded to the specified Track ( ).
Input Source
Determines the input connector via which the signal to be
sampled will be received. Refer to the description of the
same-named parameter on page 122.
Stereo/Mono
Determines whether new Samples will be recorded as
stereo or mono Samples. Refer to the description of the
same-named parameter on page 122.
Record Next
This is available when the Recording Type in the Setup
display is set to "sample." Refer to the description of the
same-named parameter on page 122.
Frequency
Specifies the sampling frequency. Refer to the description
of the same-named parameter on page 123.
Waveform
Determines the Waveform number as destination.
Settings: 001 – 128
NOTICE
This operation overwrites any data previously existing at the
destination Waveform number. 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 XF (page 241).
Keybank
Determines the note number of the Key Bank as
destination. The value set here can be changed in the
Sampling Edit mode (page 210). Keep in mind that this
parameter cannot be set when the Recording Type is set to
"slice+seq."
Settings: C -2 – G8
n When the Recording Type is set to "slice+seq," sliced
Samples will be assigned to the notes in order chromatically,
starting with C1 (MOTIF XF6), E0 (MOTIF XF7) and A -1
(MOTIF XF8) respectively.

n You can also set the Key directly from the keyboard, by
holding down the [SF6] KBD button and pressing the desired
key. For details, see page 37.
Track
Determines the track number to which the recorded
Sample is assigned. After recording is finished, the created
Sample Voice is to be assigned to the Mixing part
corresponding to the Track specified here. When the
Recording Type is set to "slice+seq" or "sample+note," the
note data for playing back the Sample Voice will be created
in the Track specified here.
Settings: 01 – 16
Part
This parameter is not available when entering the Sampling
mode from the Song mode/Pattern mode.
Voice
This parameter is not available when entering the Sampling
mode from the Song mode/Pattern mode.
Drum Key
This parameter is not available when entering the Sampling
mode from the Song mode/Pattern mode.
Recordable Time (Indication only)
Indicates the available Sampling time using the available
memory. The time indicated here is calculated assuming a
mono signal with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. The
amount of memory space currently being used is shown in
the display as a blue line.
[F6] Standby
Pressing this button to call up the Sampling Standby
display.
This display is used for executing the Sampling. For
