Step 5: Creating a Pattern

MOTIF XS Owner’s Manual

Press the keys to which the sliced sample are
assigned in order (from C1 for the MOTIF XS6,
E0 for the MOTIF XS7, and A-1 for the MOTIF
XS8) to confirm whether or not the Sample has
been sliced properly.

Listen carefully to the results. If you’re not satisfied,
press the [SF4] Apply button again to abort the Slice
operation and return the sample to the original status,
then try the operation again. Repeat steps 2 – 4 by
trying another Slice Type and adjusting the value of the
Sensitivity until you are satisfied with the sound.

Press the [ENTER] button to fix the Slice result
as Sample data.

Press the [PATTERN] button to call up the
Pattern Play display then press the [

F] (Play)

button to hear the sliced Sample.

Storing the Pattern and Saving
the Sample

After the Sampling operation, store the created Pattern to
internal memory then save the Sample to a separate USB
storage device. For instructions on storing a Pattern, see
page 218. For instructions on saving a Sample, see
page 279.

Sample data will be lost when the power is turned off. Make sure to

save the Sample data to a USB storage device or to a computer

connected to the same network as the MOTIF XS in the File mode

after the Sampling operation.

n After creating several Patterns (Sections), use the Pattern

Chain feature (page 213) to string them together.
