Creating a Song on the MOTIF ES
Using the Groove function
Just as in the Pattern Play mode, the Groove function is
available also in the Song Play mode.
For details, refer to the explanation of Groove in the Pattern
Play mode (page 114).
In the Song Play mode, select a Song for which
1
the Groove settings are to be applied.
Press the [F2] GROOVE button to call up the
2
Groove setting display.
3
Select a track, then adjust the Groove settings.
Save the created Song data to a SmartMedia/USB
4
storage device (page 132) before turning the
power off.
CAUTION
The created Song data resides temporarily in DRAM (page 187). Because
data contained in DRAM is lost when the power is turned off, you should
always store any data residing in DRAM to a SmartMedia/USB storage
device before turning off the power.
Sampling a one-shot sound to a Song
track
The MOTIF ES 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, and
can even be aligned in time as needed after recording in the
Song Edit mode.
In order to use the Sampling function, DIMM modules must be
installed to the instrument. For details on installing DIMMs, see page
289.
Connect an audio device (CD player, etc.) to the
1
instrument.
Follow steps #1 - 8 on page 73, substituting the instructions
below for steps #4 and 8.
In step #4, press the [SONG] button to enter the Song Play
mode then select a song to be created.
In step #8, set the related parameters from the AUDIO IN
display ([SONG] [MIXING]
AUDIO IN).
Press the [INTEGRATED SAMPLING] button in
2
the Song mode to enter the Sampling mode.
