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.
1 Connect the audio equipment to the MOTIF XF.
For information about how to do this, see page 47.
2 Press the [SONG] button to enter the Song mode,
then select the Song Number.
3 Press the [INTEGRATED SAMPLING] button to
enter the Sampling mode. (The indicator lights.)
4 Press the [F6] Rec button to call up the Record
Setup display, then set each parameter as follows.
Set other parameters as necessary.
5 Press the [F6] Standby button to call up the Record
Standby display, then make the necessary
settings.
6 Press the [F6] REC button again to enable Punch
In Waiting.
Doing this puts sample recording on standby, waiting for
song playback to reach the specified Punch-in measure.
7 Press the [R] (Play) button to start Song playback.
8 Start the audio equipment when the Song reaches
the Punch In point (when sampling actually starts).
Audio is recorded to the instrument.
9 Stop the audio equipment when the Song reaches
the Punch Out point (when sampling stops).
Press the [SF1] AUDITION button to hear the sampled
sound.
If you’re not satisfied with the results and you wish to try
again, press the [EXIT] button to return to the Sampling
Standby display and try sampling from step 4 again.
If you are satisfied with the results, press the [ENTER] button
to store the sampled sound as a “sample” and return to the
Sampling Record display.
10 Press the [SONG] button or [EXIT] button to
return to the Song Play mode.
11 Press the [R] (Play) button to play the Song.
Listen back to the Song (the sample automatically sounds
along with playback) and check that the timing is correct.
If you’re not satisfied with the timing, you can adjust it as
needed in the Song Edit mode.
12 Press the [STORE] button to store the Song.
13 Save the Waveform.
If the optional Flash Memory Expansion Memory Module is
installed to the MOTIF XF, use the Copy Job (page 53) to
save the Waveform. If not, save the Waveform to a USB
storage device (page 64).
NOTICE
The recorded (edited) Sample data will be lost when turning the

(page 53), or save the Sample data to a USB storage device (page 64).
