Creating a Voice/Performance by Using the Sampling Function
MOTIF XS Owner’s Manual

1 Key Bank
Determines the Key Bank to which the desired Sample is 
assigned by specifying the Waveform number (0001 – 
1024). The Key range and Velocity range of the Key Bank 
to which the selected Waveform is assigned are 
automatically shown below the Waveform number. 
2 Type
Determines the degree to which the looped portion of the 
Sample will be sliced. 
Settings: 1 – 4
3 Variation
Determines how the original Sample is varied by this Job. 
Settings: normal1 – 2, reverse1 – 2
normal1 – 2
These settings slice and rearrange the Sample data, without 
performing any other audio changes. 
reverse1 – 2
In addition to slicing and rearranging, these settings reverse the 
playback of some of the slices. 
The Job execution is divided into two stages: temporary data 
conversion via the [SF4] Apply button and actual data entry via the 
[ENTER] button. The Job result will be lost if you call up a different 
display without finalizing the data via the [ENTER] button. 
This Job lets you divide the Sample into separate “slices,” 
the number of which is determined by the note length (with 
Measure, Meter, and Sub Divide). Sliced Samples are 
assigned to each of keys in ascending order from the Key 
Bank specified at the Lowest Key (
7) parameter. When 
entering this Job from the Song/Pattern mode, note data for 
playing the slices in sequence is also created. Playing 
back the note data and the slices in order results in the 
same sound as the original “un-sliced” Sample. 
1 Key Bank
Determines the Key Bank to which the desired Sample is 
assigned by specifying the Waveform number (0001 – 
1024). The Key range and Velocity range of the Key Bank 
to which the selected Waveform is assigned are 
automatically shown below the Waveform number. 
7 Lowest Key
Specifies the lowest key number from which the sliced 
Samples are assigned in order. 
Settings: C -2 – G8
n In the Record Slice display of the Sampling Record mode 
(page 248), this parameter is fixed to “C1” for the MOTIF XS6, 
“E0” for the MOTIF XS7, and “A -1” for the MOTIF XS8, and 
cannot be set. 
2 Type (Slice Type)
3 Measure
4 Meter
5 Sub Divide
6 Sens
8 Tempo
With the exception of the Lowest Key parameter, all 
parameters and settings are the same as in the Record 
Slice display of the Sampling Record mode (page 248) 
which appears after Sampling is completed with the Type 
set to “slice+seq.” 
The Job execution is divided into two stages: temporary data 
conversion via the [SF4] Apply button and actual data entry via the 
[ENTER] button. The Job result will be lost if you call up a different 
display without finalizing the data via the [ENTER] button. 
[F2] Waveform Jobs
This display contains Jobs for editing Waveforms. 
This Job lets you copy the data of one Waveform to 
another. The Key Banks and Samples included in the 
Waveform are also copied by this Job. 
1 Waveform as source
2 Waveform as destination
Determines the copy source and destination Waveform 
numbers.
This operation overwrites any data previously existing at the 
destination Waveform number.
