Creating a Voice/Performance by Using the Sampling Function
MOTIF XS Owner’s Manual 170
Sample Parameter settings—[F2]
Param
This display lets you set Sample-related parameters such
as Key Range and Velocity Range.
Parameters 1 – 3 are same as the ones on the Trim
display (page 168).
n The KBD icon is shown on the tab corresponding to the [SF6]
button depending on the selected parameter. In this condition,
you can enter the note number or velocity by pressing the
appropriate note on the keyboard while holding the [SF6] KBD
button. For details, see page 82.
4 Level
Determines the output level of the selected Sample.
Settings: -95.25 dB – +0.00 dB
5 Pan
Determines the stereo pan position of the sound.
Settings: L64 (far left) – C (center) – R63 (far right)
6 Play Mode
Determines how the Sample is played back.
Settings: loop, one shot, reverse
loop
Sample playback begins from the Start point, continues to the Loop
point, then repeats indefinitely between the Loop point and End point.
This setting is useful for short rhythmic passages, riffs and beats that
you want to play back repeatedly and continuously.
one shot
The Sample plays back one time from Start point to End point. This
setting can be used for solos, sound effects and vocal passages that
are used once without looping.
reverse
The Sample plays back one time in reverse from End point to Start
point. This is useful for creating reversed cymbal sounds and other
special effects.
7 Coarse Tune
Determines the coarse tuning for the pitch of the Sample in
semitones.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
8 Fine Tune
Determines the fine tuning for the pitch of the Sample in
cents.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
9 Key Range
Indicates the key range of the Key Bank to which the
selected Sample is assigned. By assigning different
Samples from a single Waveform to separate key ranges,
you can create a Voice that produces different sounds
depending on what key you play.
Settings: C -2 – G8
) Velocity (Velocity Range)
Indicates the velocity range of the Key Bank to which the
selected Sample is assigned. By assigning different
Samples from a single Waveform to separate velocity
ranges, you can create a Voice that produces different
sounds depending on how strongly you play the keyboard.
Settings: 1 – 127
! Recordable Time (Indication only)
Indicates the available Sampling time using the available
memory. The time indicated here is calculated assuming a
mono signal with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. The
amount of memory space currently being used is shown in
the display as a blue line.
@ [SF1] Audition
You can hear the selected Sample by holding this button.
This lets you check how the Sample will actually sound
when played back.

When different Key Banks overlap:
When playing back a certain key with a certain velocity
belonging to different Key Banks (in other words,
different samples are assigned to this key and velocity),
not all relevant samples may be played back and priority
will be given to the two audio channels starting from the
sample(s) assigned to the Key Bank having a smaller
number. When a stereo sample is assigned to the Key
Bank of the smallest number, for example, only that
sample will be played back. When a mono sample is
assigned to the Key Bank of the smallest number and a
different sample is assigned to the Key Bank of the
second smallest number, for 2nd example, only those
two samples will be played back. When a mono sample
is assigned to the Key Bank of the smallest number and a
stereo sample is assigned to the Key Bank of the second
smallest number, for 3rd example, only the mono sample
will be played back. This rule applies to all modes of the
instrument.
