Using the Sampling feature
Sampling a one-shot sound in the
Song mode
The MOTIF XF conveniently lets you sample audio material,
even while a Song is playing. This allows you to quickly and
easily "fly in" samples to your Song as you need them — for
example, capturing short sound effects from a CD, or
recording background vocal phrases with a microphone.
Sounds like these can be added to the Song as desired.

Connect the audio equipment to the MOTIF XF.
For information about how to do this, see page 47.

Press the [SONG] button to enter the Song mode,
then select the Song Number.

Press the [INTEGRATED SAMPLING] button to
enter the Sampling mode. (The indicator lights.)

again, press the [EXIT] button to return to the Sampling
Standby display and try sampling from step 4 again.

to store the sampled sound as a "sample" and return to the
Sampling Record display.

If you're not satisfied with the timing, you can adjust it as
needed in the Song Edit mode.

storage device (page 64).
NOTICE
The recorded (edited) Sample data will be lost when turning the
power off. Before turning off the power, you should always copy the
Sample data to the optional Flash Memory Expansion Memory
(page 53), or save the Sample data to a USB storage device (page 64).
