Creating a Voice by using the Sampling function
TIP Loading WAV or AIFF audio files to create a Waveform/Voice
Any audio data created and edited on a computer and saved in the WAV or AIFF format can also be used as material for
Samples on the MOTIF ES. Set up the media containing the desired WAV/AIFF audio files (e.g., insert a SmartMedia card
to the CARD slot or connect a USB storage device), then follow the instructions below.
In order to use the Sampling function, DIMM modules must be installed to the instrument. For details on installing DIMMs, see page 289.
Depending on the size of the audio (sample) data obtained via the Sampling function, you may not be able to save all of the desired data to a
SmartMedia card (maximum capacity: 128MB). For this reason, we recommend using a large-capacity USB storage device for your Sampling data.
