Sampling Block
The Sampling Block lets you bring your own recorded sounds—your voice, an instrument, rhythms, special sound effects,
etc.—into the system of this synthesizer, and play those sounds just like any other voices. These sounds, the audio data can
be captured from the A/D Input and mLAN connector (MOTIF XS8, or MOTIF XS 6/7 with the mLAN16E2 installed) with up to
16 bit and 44.1 kHz quality.
Keep in mind that the data created by the Sampling operation differs depending on the mode from which you entered the
Sampling mode: Voice/Performance or Song/Pattern. See pages 161 and 242 respectively.
Audio Input block
This block handles the audio signal input from the A/D Input and the mLAN connector (MOTIF XS8, and MOTIF XS 6/7 with
the optional mLAN16E2 installed). Various parameters such as volume, pan, and effect can be set for the audio signal and
the sound is output together with other Voices. The Insertion Effect as well as the System Effects can be applied to the audio
signal input via the A/D INPUT connector.
The Audio Input related parameters can be set in the following display.
The gain of the audio signal from the A/D INPUT connector can be adjusted via the Gain knob (page 18) on the rear panel.
Sequencer Block
This block lets you create Songs and Patterns by recording and editing your performances as MIDI data (from the controller
block), then playing it back with the tone generator block.
Sequencer block in the Song mode
A Song (page 33) is made by the MIDI sequence data
created by recording your keyboard performance to each
track. 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.
A Song consists of 16 separate tracks, a Scene track, and
a Tempo track.
Sequence tracks 1 – 16
Record your keyboard performance to these tracks using
Realtime recording (page 186) and edit the recorded data
in the Song Edit mode (page 192).
Maximum Polyphony
Maximum polyphony refers to the highest number of notes that can be sounded simultaneously from the internal tone
generator of the instrument. The maximum polyphony of this synthesizer is 128. When the internal tone generator block
receives a number of notes exceeding the maximum polyphony, previously played notes are cut off. Keep in mind this may be
especially noticeable with Voices not having decay. Furthermore, the maximum polyphony applies to the number of Voice
Elements used, not the number of Voices. When Normal Voices that include up to eight Elements are used, the maximum
number of simultaneous notes may be less than 128.
