Yamaha MOTIF XS7 Manuel D’Utilisation

The Remix function divides the MIDI data in a selected 
track into several pieces of a specified note length, and 
randomly rearranges a portion of the data, letting you 
easily create completely new and unique rhythm 
variations—all from a single Pattern. 

n When Remix is used on a track containing a sliced sample 

voice, the various segments of the sample are rearranged with 
varied timing. The sample voices can be created by executing 
the Sampling with the Sampling Type set to “slice+seq” or 
executing the Sample Slice Job. 

n The Remix display is available only when the cursor is located 

on the track containing data.

Determines the measure interval with which the Remix 
operation is executed. In other words, this parameter 
determines the measures to which Remix is applied. When 

this parameter is set to “1,” Remix is applied to all 
measures. When set to “2,” Remix is applied to the data of 
the 2nd measure, 4th measure, 6th measure, and so on. 
When set to “3,” Remix is applied to the data of the 3rd 
measure, 6th measure, 9th measure, and so on. 
The measures to which Remix is applied are shown on the 
display. See below (

5). 

Settings: 1 – 8

Indicates the division point and the amount of division 
determined by Type (

1). The diagram below indicates the 

division points in 16th note resolution. When Type is set to 
“1,” for example, the data is divided at the upbeat before 
beat 4. When Type is set to “2,” the data is divided at three 
points: the upbeat before beat 2, the downbeat of beat 3, 
and the upbeat before beat 4. 

Indicates the measures to which the Remix is applied. 
These measures are located at the same interval 
determined by the Interval (

3) parameter. The example 

below results when setting the Interval (

3) to “2.”
