91MOTIF Quick Start GuideUsing the Arpeggio function Quick Start Guide Using the Arpeggio function Basic Structure (page 55) · Reference (pages 128, 165) The MOTIF features a powerful and highly versatile arpeggiator that lets you automatically trigger preset arpeggios, phrases, rhythmic sequences and special “human” patterns — depending on the keys you play, or even the velocity with which you play them. You can assign the desired Arpeggio type to each voice or performance, and adjust the tempo in real time as the Arpeggio plays. In the Song and Pattern modes, you can assign desired Arpeggio types to each Mixing setup, for use in songs and patterns.

95MOTIF Quick Start GuideUsing as a Master Keyboard Quick Start Guide Master Keyboard settings ● Layer/Split settings using an external tone generator The MOTIF can function as a comprehensive, versatile master keyboard, for both live and studio applications. When a Master is set to the Voice or Performance mode, you can make settings for four independent Zones. This makes it possible to control voices of an external MIDI device over several different channels — in addition to the internal voices of the MOTIF itself. You can do this by setting the sound range of the keyboard for each Zone and assigning different MIDI channels to each range. For example, this lets you layer several voices together, including those of a connected MIDI tone generator. Plus, you can separate the voices into different keyboard ranges, and play completely different sounds with your left and right hands. In the example below, we’ll set up three Zones as shown below. We’ll program a split at the note C3. In the lower range (B2 and lower), a bass voice and cymbal voice will sound. In the upper range (C3 and above), we’ll layer piano and vibraphone voices — played from an external MIDI tone generator. Using this sophisticated setup, you can easily sound like an entire jazz group, with just your two hands. In the example instructions here, we’ll use the Voice mode for the Master.

96MOTIF Quick Start Guide Using as a Master Keyboard Quick Start Guide ● Control Number settings Here in the KN/CS display of the Master Edit mode, you can set how the Control knobs and sliders will affect each Zone. This lets you specify a MIDI Control Change number for each knob and slider. In the example below, the Control knobs for all Zones have been set to 10 (Pan), and the sliders have been set to 11 (Expression). In this way, you can control the stereo position of each Zone with the appropriate knob, and use the sliders to adjust the relative volume balance among the Zones. This setting is available only when the Zone Switch is set to on from the Memory display in the Master Play mode.

Since the other data (e.g., wave data recorded via the Sampling function, Song, Pattern) is lost when turning the power off, you should save it to a memory card or SCSI device connected to the MOTIF. Data created on the MOTIF can be saved to Memory card or SCSI device in a variety of file types. By selecting “All” as the file type to be saved, all your original MOTIF data can be saved to Memory card/SCSI device. However, when loading this “All” data back to the MOTIF, you can choose a specific data type to be loaded (e.g., one voice or one song), as illustrated below. nFor details about using Memory cards, see page 289. For details about using SCSI devices, see page 264 and page 290. Saving data nBefore you can use a new Memory card or external SCSI device with the MOTIF, you’ll have to format it from the MOTIF.

99MOTIF Quick Start Guide Sampling with Song Playback (Integrated Sampling Sequencer) Quick Start Guide Sampling with Song Playback (Integrated Sampling Sequencer) In this section, we’ll delve into one of the most important and powerful features of the MOTIF — the Integrated Sampling Sequencer. Today’s digital music producers and artists use a mutlitude of advanced tools to get the job done — including MIDI, sampling, audio editing and much more. Cutting and pasting beats, loops and patterns together is an integral part of the music making process. The MOTIF lets you work in the same way, fully integrating sampling with MIDI sequencing — making it easier than ever before to produce great tracks. Below is a summary of the steps you’ll take as you create a new song. ■ Creating Rhythm track 1 Sampling to a Pattern Track 2Recording MIDI data to a Pattern Track 3Assigning a Preset Phrase to a Pattern Track (Patch function) 4Using the Groove function 5Pattern Mixing 6Creating the Pattern Chain ■ Creating a Song 7Copy the Pattern Chain data to the Song 8MIDI recording to Song Tracks 9Sampling to Song Track 10Song Track Mute and Scene 11Song Mixing and storing the settings as a template 12 Saving and Exporting the recorded song to external PC (File Utility)
