    Quick Start Guide
    9. Sampling to a Song Track
    Basic Structure (page 54) · Reference (page 234)
    We’ll pay another visit to the sampling feature, and sweeten our song with some “ear candy” sound effects and 
    background vocals. The sampling we did earlier was of a different variety; you sampled a rhythm in the Pattern mode 
    and “sliced” it into separate pieces so that it would loop properly and automatically adjust to any tempo changes.  
    Here, we’ll try a different type of sampling, where the Slice operation is unnecessary — since a short sound effect 
    doesn’t need to stay in tempo, and you can sing the background parts in time with the song as you sample them.
    nFor details about how to connect external audio equipment or a microphone to the MOTIF, see page 23 .

    10. Song Track Mute and Scene
    Reference (pages 180, 181)
    These two powerful features give you even greater real-time arranging control.  You can turn tracks on and off and 
    switch among Song Scenes, as the song plays — and all your moves can be recorded to the special Scene track.  This not 
    only lets you hear the various song arranging possiblities, it lets you record them on the spot. 
    For example, sample an audio rhythm phrase to one of the tracks of your song, and turn on the Track Loop function 
    (page 182).  As the song is playing, you can fly the rhythm part in and out of the song by alternately un-muting and 
    muting the track.  To do this, enable recording and select the Scene track (as described in step #3 of MIDI recording on 
    page 103), and record your track mutes in time with the music by pressing the Track number button, then the appropriate 
    track number buttons.  This hands-on approach really lets you feel the changes you make — since you perform them in time 
    with the rhythm — and gives you the power to improvise great musical arrangements on the fly.
    In addition to Track Mute, the MOTIF also features a versatile Song Scene function.  Song Scene lets you make 
    various changes to the tracks (such as pan, volume, and others), and take a “snapshot” of those settings — which you 
    can recall at any time with a single button press.  
    A maximum of five Scenes can be stored, to the five Scene buttons ([SF1] - [SF5]).  To instantly call up a Scene and 
    change the tracks, simply press the appropriate button [SF1] - [SF5].  Just as with Track Mute, you can record these 
    Scene changes as well, by “playing” your button presses along with the music.
    You can use the Song Scene function from either the PLAY display in the Song Play mode or the SETUP display in the 
    Song Record mode.  In the example instructions below, the PLAY display in the Song Play mode has been called up.

    5Save the Song data to a 
    memory card or SCSI device 
    (page 97). 4Create other Song Scenes as desired.Change the settings again, as you did in 
    step #2, and store the Song Scene to a 
    different button, as you did in step #3.
    Store the settings to a Song Scene. 3
    ...and press the appropriate button ([SF1] ~ [SF5]). Simultaneously hold down the [STORE] button...
    Make the desired settings for the Song Scene.
    • Select a track and set it up as you want with the desired voice, then change

    11. Song Mixing and storing the settings as a template
    Reference (page 205)
    In this final step (other than saving your precious work, which we’ll cover next), you can mix down your tracks with 
    the Song Mixing function — adjusting the volume balance and pan setting of all the parts and tweaking the effect 
    levels.  Moreover, you can save your mixing settings as a template (up to sixteen templates can be saved), then call up 
    the appropriate template when mixing down a song that has a similar track structure.

    12. Saving and Exporting the recorded song to external PC (File Utility)
    Reference (page 262)
    Now that you’ve created your masterpiece, you’ll want to save it.  You can save song data to a Memory card or SCSI 
    device in the File mode (page 261).
    However, for safekeeping and organizational/archival purposes, you may want to store your MOTIF data to a 
    computer.  You may also want to use your computer to do further editing and recording to your MOTIF-created 
    songs.  The File Utility software (contained on the included CD-ROM) lets you do that and more — allowing you to 
    transfer files back and forth between a computer and the MOTIF via a standard USB cable connection.
    Here’s a practical example.  Let’s say you want to add a long section of audio data to your song, such as a lead vocal or 
    an extended guitar solo.  Since recording that to the MOTIF may not be entirely practical or possible, you may want 
    to transfer your song to a computer, then record and edit the new audio tracks on the computer.  First, you should 
    save the song data in Standard MIDI File (SMF) format to Memory card or a connected SCSI device, then transfer the 
    MIDI file to the computer with the File Utility software.  Once you’ve imported the MIDI file to sequencer software 
    on your computer, match the MIDI send and receive channels (computer-to-MOTIF) so that each track of the 
    sequencer song data plays the appropriate part on the MOTIF.  Finally, play back the song and record the desired 
    audio parts (vocals, solos, etc.) using your audio/MIDI sequencer.
     
    nFor details about the File Utility software, refer to the electronic documentation contained in the included CD-ROM.

    Quick Start Guide
    Remote Control for external sequencer 
    (Real-time external control surface)
    Basic Structure (page 65) · Reference (page 256)
    In the last section, you saw how a computer could be used conveniently to augment the features of the MOTIF.  Here, 
    we’ll look at a feature that turns the tables and lets you conveniently use the MOTIF to control your computer.
    The Remote Control function lets you use the hardware controls on the panel of the MOTIF to control a variety of 
    fundamental operations on the sequencing software of your computer. You can mute your tracks, control the 
    sequencer transport (Play, Stop, Record, etc.), mix both MIDI and audio tracks (up to 16) with the MOTIF’s knobs 
    and sliders, pan the tracks, control EQ, and tweak effect sends — all without ever touching the mouse.  Not only is 
    this a more convenient and efficient way to work — since it gives you dedicated controls for the functions you use 
    the most — it also (with the knobs and sliders) gives you finer control over crucial level parameters.  If you’ve ever 
    used a mixing console or a hardware sequencer, you’ll love being able to finally control your sequencing software 
    with buttons, knobs, and sliders.
    Setting Up
    Before you can use the Remote Control function, you’ll need to set up the system as described below.
