Step 5: Creating a Pattern
MOTIF XS Owner’s Manual 38
Viewing the Demo Pattern’s
Patch display
From the Patch display called up via the [F4] button, you
can confirm what “Phrase” is assigned to each track of the
Pattern Section.
A “Phrase” is a short musical/rhythmic passage consisting
of a single track for a single instrument, such as drum,
bass, and guitar. This MIDI sequence data can be used as
small building blocks for a Song, and can be assigned to
any track and any Section. A single Pattern provides
memory space for 256 of your own original User Phrases.
As indicated in this display, the performance data is
recorded to the Phrase then the Phrase is assigned to the
recording track. Note that the created Phrase can be
assigned to a different track of the same/different Section.
Try changing the Phrase for each track and assign each
Phrase to an empty track.
n Please keep in mind that Phrases are provided only for the
Demo Patterns and the number of provided Phrases differs
depending on the Demo Pattern. When you want to use a
Phrase assigned to a different Pattern, execute the Copy
Phrase function by using the [SF5] Copy button. For details,
see page 212.
