Yamaha MOTIF XS7 Manuel D’Utilisation

This menu appears as soon as Recording starts. During 
Pattern recording, pressing the key while holding the [F4] 
button erases all the note events of the pressed key. This is 
useful in loop recording since it allows you to quickly delete 
wrong notes played for a specific key.

This is the same as in the Song Record mode. See 
page 188.

This section explains how to record your performance 
using the Realtime Recording features. Please keep in 
mind that the procedure differs depending on the Record 
Type and Record Track set from the Record Setup display. 
The operation is same as the one in the Song Record 
display (page 189). 

The Pattern Edit mode lets you edit the already recorded Phrases or insert the new data to the Phrases. It can be used to 
correct mistakes as well as add dynamics or effects such as vibrato to refine and finish the Phrase. 
Press the [EDIT] button from the Pattern Play mode to go to the Pattern Edit mode. 

n The Pattern Edit mode gives you comprehensive, detailed controls for editing the MIDI events of individual Pattern tracks. MIDI events are 

messages (such as note on/off, note number, program change number, etc.) that make up the data of a recorded phrase. 

n Like the Song Edit mode, Pattern Edit consists of the Event List display and the Insert Event window. The Event List display lets you correct 

or delete already inserted MIDI events and the Insert Event window lets you insert new events to the Pattern. By using the Insert Event 
window, you can input the events one by one. The Event List display will always appear when the Pattern Edit mode is first called up. 

Here in outline form is the process of correcting or deleting 
already recorded events. 

If you wish to edit a certain phrase, press the [F4] 
button to call up the Patch display (page 212), then 
select the desired Phrase. 

The Event List display (page 221) of the Pattern 
appears. 

n You can select the desired track with the Number buttons 

[1] – [16] by pressing the [TRACK] button (the lamp lights) 

after entering the Pattern Edit mode.

Use the [

L]/[M] (Cursor Up/Down) button to move the 

cursor to the desired timing. Press the [

G] (Rewind)/

[

H] (Fast Forward) button to move the cursor by 

single measures. Use the [<]/[>] (Cursor Left/Right) 
button to move the cursor to the parameter to be 
edited. 

n For details about each event and parameter, see page 76. 

n Use the View Filter function (page 221) to help you quickly 

find desired events. 

Edit the value by using the [INC/YES], [DEC/NO] 
buttons and the data dial. The edited event will flash on 
the display. 
Change the event location by editing the MEAS 
(measure), BEAT, and CLOCK. 
Press the [F6] button to delete the event at the cursor 
location. 

If the cursor is moved to a new event while the current 
event is still flashing, editing of the current event is 
cancelled. 

Press the [STORE] button to call up the Pattern 
Store window (page 218), then store the 
created Pattern.
