Sampling Edit Mode; Editing Stereo Samples - Yamaha MOTIF6 Owner's Manual

Sampling Edit mode

BEAT1 : Original wave size X N + (0.3 X number of slices)
BEAT2 : Original wave size X N + (0.2 X number of slices)
BEAT3 : Original wave size X N + (0.3 X number of slices)
PHRASE1 : Original wave size X N + (5.8 X number of slices)
PHRASE2 : Original wave size X N + (1.4 X number of slices)
PHRASE3 : Original wave size X N + (0.4 X number of slices)
PHRASE4 : Original wave size X N + (1.4 X number of slices)
QUICK : Original wave size X 3 + (0.7 X number of slices)
For monaural samples N = 5.5, and for stereo samples
N = 8. Also, the number of slices is doubled for stereo
samples.
With the memory expanded to the maximum 64
megabytes, for example, if the entire memory is empty
and a 44.1 kHz sample is sliced to 32 slices, the longest
possible sampling time will be
approximately:
BEAT1~3, PHRASE1~4: approx. 138 seconds
(mono), 47 seconds (stereo.) QUICK: approx. 253
seconds (mono), 126 seconds (stereo).
Sampling Edit mode
This mode gives you a variety of sample eding tools,
with which you can change the samples you've
recorded in the Sampling Record mode, and customize
them for your applications as needed.

◆ Editing Stereo Samples

For samples that have been recorded in stereo (with
Stereo Sampling), both the left and right waves of the
sample are edited together by the MOTIF. in the actual
process, any edits made to the left channel wave are
duplicated exactly in the right channel. The exception
to this, of course, is Pan — since the sample already is
in stereo.
◆ Basic Procedure
1
Press the [INTEGRATED SAMPLING] button to
enter the Sampling mode. (The indicator lights.)
n Unlike in the Sampling Record mode, all
parameters and functions of the Sampling Edit
mode are the same, no matter which mode was
previously selected.
n All Sampling Edit operations apply to the
Waveform (actual sample), not the voice.
