Creating an original Song
Adjusting the volume of each Part
You can adjust the volume for each of eight Parts, using the
panel sliders.
When one of Tracks 1 – 8 is currently selected, the eight
sliders are used to adjust the volume for Parts 1 – 8. When
one of Tracks 9 – 16 is selected, the sliders are used to
adjust the volume for Parts 9 – 16. The track can be selected
by turning the [TRACK] button on and pressing the desired
Number button.
In addition to sliders, Knobs 1 – 8 can be used to affect the
sound of the Song playback in real time. For details, refer to
the Reference Manual.
Recording to a track
Soon you’ll record your keyboard performance, recording a
part to Track 1. First though, you’ll need to set up the MOTIF
XF for realtime recording.
1
Press the [SONG] button to enter the Song Play
mode and then select a Song that contains no data.
2 Press the [] (Record) button to enter the Song
Record mode.
The Record Setup display appears.
3 Set the following parameters on the Record Setup
display.
3-1 With the [TRACK] lamp turned on, press the Number
button [1] to set the recording track to 1. The red circle
symbol is shown at the REC TR column of Track 1. The
Record Part is automatically set to 1.
3-2 Move the cursor to Time Signature (Meter) then set the
value. Here, set this to “4/4.”
3-3 Move the cursor to Tempo then set the desired value.
Here, set this to “144.”
3-4 Move the cursor to Record Type then select “replace.”
This method overwrites any previously recorded data.
3-5 Set Quantize to “240.” This convenient feature lets you
automatically quantize (or “clean up” the timing of) the
notes in real time, as you record. Quantize aligns the
timing of note events to the nearest beat. Normally, the
smallest note value in the notation sheet (you will play)
should be set.
3-6 Select the Voice for recording by specifying the Bank and
Number. The value set here is applied to Part 1 of the
Mixing.
3-7 Press the [F5] button to turn the Metronome on O.
Pressing the [F5] button toggles the Metronome on and
off.
NOTE
The metronome related settings (such as note resolution,
volume and pre-count measure number before recording)
can be set in the Click display of the Sequencer Setup
called up via the [SEQ SETUP] button. For details, refer to
the Reference Manual.
4 After completing recording setup, press the [R]
(Play) button to start recording.
Press the [R] (Play) button so that its indicator flashes, then
actually start recording after the count-in.
5 When you've finished playing, press the [] (Stop)
button to stop recording.
If you’ve played any wrong notes, press the [] (Stop)
button, then try recording again. After recording your
keyboard performance to Track 1, set the REC TR to 2 in the
Recording Setup display, then record another performance
to Track 2.
Creating a Song by using
Arpeggio
In addition to creating a Song by recording your keyboard
performance conventionally, you can also use the powerful
Arpeggio playback features.
Arpeggio phrases triggered simply by pressing any note can
be recorded to a Song track.
