MOTIF XF Owner’s Manual
41
The Patterns of the MOTIF XF feature short but fully realized instrumental parts that you can repeat (loop), combine, and
arrange in any order you want—giving you the basic material for creating a Song. This section covers what you can do in the
Pattern mode.
Pattern Structure
The MOTIF XF provides two modes for creating a Song:
Song mode and Pattern mode.
In the Song mode, you can record the Song from the
beginning to the end by playing the keyboard. In the Pattern
mode, on the other hand, you can create the
accompaniment of the Song by creating several sections,
such as intro, melody A, main theme and ending, by
recording your rhythm pattern to the different Sections, then
combining them as a Pattern Chain.
The Pattern mode also lets you record your rhythm patterns
or riffs to the different Sections as you wish—and as the
inspiration hits—then combine the Sections into a Pattern
Chain to create a complete Song. Along with the Arpeggio
feature and Performance recording, you have a wide range
of easy-to-use tools to quickly create fully arranged,
professional sounding Songs.
NOTE You can create a Pattern Chain by programming the order of
Sections. The created Pattern Chain can be converted to Song
data by using the Pattern Chain Edit. For details, refer to
page 43.
Listening to the Demo Patterns
Before creating your own original pattern, you should give a
listen to some of the preset Demo Patterns. These specially
recorded Patterns cover a wide range of musical genres and
are full of great hints and ideas on how you can create and
use Patterns in your own music.
1 If necessary, load the Demo Patterns following the
procedure on page 17.
2 Press the [PATTERN] button to enter the Pattern
mode.
The Pattern Play display will appear.
NOTE
As indicated in the Pattern Play display, a Pattern consists of
16 separate tracks. Accordingly, a Pattern is played back
via the various instrument Voices, such as bass, guitar and
piano.
3 Select a Pattern by turning the data dial.
4 Press the [R] (Play) button to start playback of the
Pattern.
The Pattern will be played back repeatedly until you press
the [] (Stop) button.
5 Change the Section from A – P.
Pressing the [A] – [H] buttons calls up Sections A – H and
pressing the [USER 1] – [USER DR] buttons calls up the
Sections I – P.
NOTE
By changing the Sections, you can create rhythmic
variations, and easily improvise arrangements (such as
intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, ending) in real time.
NOTE When setting the Track Mute, Track Solo and the volume for
each Part of the Pattern, use the same operation as the one
in the Song mode. Refer to page 37.
Now, try other Patterns.
