MOTIF XF Owner’s Manual

The MOTIF XF has a powerful Sampling function that lets you record audio signals—such as vocals from a microphone or

electric guitar—and integrate the resulting Samples with the Voices and Performances of the instrument.

The Sampling mode lets you record sounds—such as vocals from a connected microphone, the signal from an electric guitar, or

audio from an external CD or MP3 player—directly to the instrument, and store them as Samples.

The recorded (edited) sample data is lost when the power is turned off. Make sure to prepare a USB storage device before using the Sampling

function.

to the A/D INPUT jack on the rear panel.

Using the Sampling feature

Flash Memory Expansion Module (sold separately)

The sample obtained via the Sampling function can be stored as a Waveform by installing the optional Flash Memory Expansion

Module FL512M/FL1024M to the MOTIF XF. The sample on the Flash Memory Expansion Module will be maintained even if the

power is turned off and can immediately be called up as a Waveform. This is convenient when using a User Voice containing a

Waveform to which the Sample created via the Sampling function has been assigned.
