    7Call up the SOURCE display. 
    11Set the Slice related parameters. The following display appears after stopping sampling since the 
    sampling type has been set to “slice+seq” in step #7. You’ll need 
    to trim your sample of extraneous beats, so that it will loop 
    properly.  Do this by using the Start, Loop, and End parameters 
    in the display below.  (For details, see page 237.)  As you edit 
    these parameters, press the [SF1] button (Audition) to hear the 
    changes you’ve made.
    12Execute the Slice operation. Once you’ve edited the sample so that it loops properly, call up 
    the SLICE display and set the parameters as needed.  (For details, 
    see page 238.)
    8Enter the Sampling Standby mode. From this display, set the Trigger mode. Here, select “manual.” 
    Play back the external CD player to check the Input level. You 
    can adjust the Input level for optimum level by using the GAIN 
    knob on the rear panel.

    2. Recording MIDI data to a Pattern Track
    Basic Structure (page 53) · Reference (page 221)
    Now that you’ve recorded a rhythm sample to a Pattern and sliced it, the next step is to record some MIDI parts and 
    add them to the Pattern.  You can record MIDI in two ways: Realtime and Step.

    The Patch function lets you assign a Preset phrase or a User phrase (recorded in the Pattern Record mode) to each 
    track and create a pattern that contains up to 16 tracks.

    4. Using the Groove function
    Reference (page 218 )
    The Grid Groove function makes it possible to adjust the pitch, timing, length, and velocity of notes in a specified 
    track on a measure-long 16th-note grid. This lets you easily come up with a wide variety of rhythmic feels and 
    grooves that would be difficult or impossible to create using precise, yet rigid sequencer operations.  Moreover, Grid 
    Groove is a playback-only operation, meaning that it leaves the original recorded data intact.
    Grid Groove can also be applied to sample tracks that contain samples processed with the Slice function, as well as 
    normal MIDI tracks.

    Reference (page 232)
    Now that you have a finished section and pattern, you can apply the Pattern Mixing controls to fine-tune it and 
    enhance it — by adusting the levels of each track or part, selecting different voices, and tweaking the effect-related settings.

    6. Creating a Pattern Chain
    Basic Structure (page 54) · Reference (page 219)
    Now that you’ve got your audio samples, loops, MIDI data, and patterns in the MOTIF, here’s where the fun really 
    begins.  The Pattern Chain feature lets you arrange all of the pieces of your song in real time.  As you record a Pattern 
    Chain, play back your original patterns and sections, and switch among them on the fly.  This intuitive, hands-on 
    approach to arranging lets you come up with great ideas and amazing songs — quickly and easily.
    nFor details about Pattern Chain and its track and memory structure, see page 54.

    Reference (page 221)
    Now that you’ve created a hip Pattern Chain, you can copy it to a song track and use it as the basic rhythm track for 
    a song. This is done from the Pattern Chain Edit mode.

    8. MIDI recording to Song Tracks
    Basic Structure (page 51) · Reference (page 183)
    Now, take your basic building blocks and move over to the Song mode to do some more work on your song.  Let’s say 
    for the sake of example that you’ve recorded MIDI data for nearly all the tracks — except for maybe some rhythm 
    guitar parts and some solos on piano and organ.  The MOTIF gives you two methods of recording these.  Realtime 
    recording lets you record much as you would with a tape recorder, playing the parts in real time while you listen to 
    the backing rhythm tracks you created earlier.  The other method, Step recording, lets you enter each note 
    individually, much like writing down the notes on paper.
