MOTIF XF Owner’s Manual
37
Now that you’ve learned some of the basic features of the MOTIF XF—including how to select Voices and Performances, play
with the Arpeggios, and record your playing and Arpeggio playback to a Song or Pattern—you’re ready to create your own
original Song.
The MOTIF XF features a built-in multitrack sequencer for recording your keyboard performance as MIDI data. This function by
itself is enough to create full, complex multi-instrument arrangements and complete Songs.
Terminology
Below are some common terms used in Song recording that
you may want to familiarize yourself with before beginning.
Song
Songs and Patterns are MIDI sequence data consisting of
up to 16 tracks. A Song on this synthesizer is effectively the
same as a Song on a MIDI sequencer, and playback
automatically stops at the end of the recorded data.
Track
This is a memory location on the sequencer where your
musical performances (made up of MIDI events) are stored.
The MOTIF XF provides 16 tracks, which correspond to the
16 Parts of the Mixing.
Mixing
This is a program in which multiple Voices are assigned to
Parts for multi-timbral play in the Song and Pattern modes.
Each Mixing can contain up to 16 parts and a separate
Mixing can be created for each Song.
Realtime Recording
With realtime recording, the instrument functions in the same
way as a MD recorder, recording the performance data as it
is played. This allows you to capture all the nuances of an
actual performance. Realtime Record features three
available methods: Replace, Overdub and Punch In/Out.
Replace lets you overwrite an already recorded track with
new data. Overdub lets you add more data to a track that
already contains data. Punch In/Out lets you re-record only
over a specific area of the track.
Song Playback
Before you learn how to create a Song, you should know
something about the mute/solo functions and how to use the
sliders during Song playback. Call up a Demo Song
(page 17) then try out the following operations while playing
back the Demo Song.
Track mute
You can mute a specific track or tracks of the Song.
1 Press the [MUTE] button so that its lamp lights.
The lamps of the Number buttons light.
2 Press any of the Number buttons [1] – [16] so that
its lamp will be turned off and the corresponding
track will be muted.
Multiple tracks can be muted simultaneously.
3 Press the button which is turned off so that its
lamp lights and the corresponding track will be
sounded.
For future recording, make sure to turn off the Mute settings
of all the tracks.
Track solo
You can solo a specific track of the Song.
1 Press the [SOLO] button so that its lamp lights.
2 Press any of the number buttons [1] – [16] so that
its lamp flashes to solo the corresponding track.
Press another number button to change the soloed track.
3 Press the [TRACK] or [MUTE] button to return to
the original status.
