Press the [SF2] button once or twice so that the
LP=ST indication is shown.
14
Move the cursor to the End Point then adjust the
value by using the data dial.
Press the [SF1] button to hear the sample. Adjust the End
Point so that the Sample plays back smoothly and
continuously without stutters, glitches or problems in
timing.
15
After setting the Ending Point, press the
[ENTER] button to delete unnecessary data
(located after the End point).
After the display prompts you for confirmation, then press
the [INC/YES] button to execute the Extract operation.
NOTE
Many commercially available sample/loop CDs include
information on the tempo, measure and meter of specific loops.
If this information is available, enter the appropriate values to the
parameters above.
NOTICE
The data deleted via the Extract operation cannot be recovered. If you
have accidentally deleted a necessary portion of the Sample, press
the [EXIT] button to return to the Setup display, then execute the
Sampling operation again.
 Slice
Next, let's use the Slice function to match the recorded
sample with the tempo. This Slice feature lets you
automatically divide the recorded sample into separate
"slices." These slices are then assigned to successive notes
and arranged as MIDI data. This lets you manipulate the
component parts of your sample loops as MIDI data, and
gives you the power to easily change tempo and even the
rhythmic feel, without disturbing the pitch or sound quality.
Sample
Slice the Sample and assign
the sliced Samples to
specified keys (notes) to
create a Sample Voice.
MIDI data
NOTE
Before executing the Slice operation, you'll need to accurately
adjust the length of the sample by adjusting the End Point.
16
Press the [F6] button to call up the Slice display,
then set each parameter as follows.
Since the recorded sample is a one-measure drum
pattern in 4/4 time, set the parameters below as shown.
Type Select "beat1."
Measure Select "1."
Sensitivity Select "4."
17
Press the [SF4] Apply button to execute the Slice
operation.
18
Press the keys to which the sliced sample are
assigned in order (from C1 for the MOTIF XF6,
E0 for the MOTIF XF7, and A-1 for the MOTIF XF8)
to confirm whether or not the Sample has been
sliced properly.
Listen carefully to the results. If you're not satisfied, press
the [SF4] Cancel button again to abort the Slice operation
and return the sample to the original status, then try the
operation again. Repeat steps 2 – 4 by trying another
Slice Type and adjusting the value of the Sensitivity until
you are satisfied with the sound.
19
Press the [ENTER] button to fix the Slice result as
Sample data.
20
Press the [PATTERN] button to call up the
Pattern Play display then press the [R] (Play)
button to hear the sliced Sample.
You can change the tempo of the sliced rhythm pattern. Try
changing the tempo in the Pattern Play mode.
21
Press the [STORE] button to store the Pattern.
22
Save the Waveform.
If the optional Flash Memory Expansion Memory is
installed to the MOTIF XF, use the Copy Job (page 53) to
save the Waveform. If not, save the Waveform to a USB
storage device (page 64).
NOTE
After creating several Patterns (Sections), use the Pattern Chain
feature (page 43) to string them together.
