Yamaha MOTIF7 Manual Do Utilizador

Sampling is a powerful function that lets you bring your own recorded sounds — voice, instrument, rhythm, 
special sound effects, etc. — into the system of the MOTIF, and play those sounds just like any other MOTIF 
sound.  Individual waveform data contained in the MOTIF is referred to as a “Sample.”
The following diagram shows the Sampling structure.
