Audition button to hear the sampled sound. If you are 
satisfied with the results, press the [ENTER] button to 
store the sampled sound as a “Sample” and return to 
the Setup display. If you are not satisfied with the 
results and you wish to try again, press the [EXIT] 
button to return to the Standby display and try 
Sampling from step 5 again. 

If you set Confirm to off in step 7 above, the sampled 
sound will be stored as a “Sample” automatically.

Settings: A/D Input, resample, mLAN

A/D Input

Analog audio from the A/D INPUT jacks is recognized as the recording 
source. 

resample

Audio signal from the OUTPUT jacks of the MOTIF XS is received and 
recognized as the recording source. 

mLAN

Audio signal from the mLAN connector (available for MOTIF XS8 and 
available for MOTIF XS6/7 only when the optional mLAN16E2 has been 
installed) is recognized as the recording source. The audio signal here 
is transmitted from the computer via mLAN Ports 3 and 4. 

Determines whether the audio signal is recorded as mono 
Sample or stereo Sample. 

Settings: monoL, monoR, monoL+R, stereo

monoL

The L-channel signal will be recorded as a mono Sample. 

monoR

The R-channel signal will be recorded as a mono Sample. 

monoL+R

The L-channel and R-channel signals will be mixed and recorded as a 
mono Sample. 

stereo

A stereo Sample will be recorded. 

When set to on, the next key is set as destination of 
Sampling automatically after the Sampling operation is 
finished (including assignment of the Sample to a Key 
Bank), and the Standby display appears. This parameter is 
useful when you wish to record multiple Samples in 
succession. 
When you wish to obtain Samples successively from a 
special CD containing various materials in each track, for 
example, you can set this parameter to on and set the 
Trigger Mode to “level”—and conveniently have the 
instrument record consecutive Samples automatically. To 
leave the Sampling Record mode, press the [EXIT] button. 

Settings: on, off

n When both of the [SF1] Confirm and the Record Next are 

turned on before the Sampling starts, the FINISHED display 
appears as soon as the Sampling is finished. From the 
FINISHED display, fix the Sample data by pressing the 
[ENTER] button so that the instrument returns to the STANDBY 
display. 

n This parameter is useful when you wish to assign individual 

Samples to the keys one by one to create a Drum Voice by 
using the special CD containing sound of each drum 
instrument as source. 

n Keep in mind that the Record Next parameter may be fixed to 

“off” and cannot be changed. This occurs when you enter the 
Sampling mode from the Voice mode/Performance mode, set 
the Voice to something other than “off,” and set the Source 
(above) to “resample.”
