MOTIF XS Owner’s Manual 33
Start Guide
Step 4: Creating Your Original Song
Now that you’ve learned some of the basic features of the MOTIF XS—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 XS 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. However, the MOTIF XS (with
optional DIMMs installed) allows you to also record and edit audio tracks—such as vocal and guitar parts.
Terminology
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 XS 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.
nFor more information about the Song structure including the
Track and Mixing, see page 59.
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 21) then try out the following operations while
playing back the Demo Song.
