Reference Sampling mode Sampling Record mode ■ [F2] Sampling Source settings The explanations here apply to step #5 of the Basic Procedure on page 234. • Type Determines the Sampling type. When entering the Sampling mode from the Song/Pattern mode, the data created by the Sampling varies depending on this setting. Keep in mind that this parameter is fixed to "sample" when entering the Sampling mode from the Voice/ Performance mode. ❏ Settings sample, sample + note, slice + seq sample Only the sample (wave) data is created. sample + note In addition to the sample data, the appropriate note data for playing the sample is created and recorded to the specified track. Sample Voice Assigned to a specified key Sequence data slice + seq The recorded sample is automatically divided into "slices," and these are assigned to successive notes on the keyboard. These notes are then automatically arranged in sequence data (to the specified track) for playback. This is especially useful for rhythm samples. For example, if you've recorded a drum part, each beat of the rhythm is converted to a separate slice and a separate note, and the notes are made into a sequence. In this way, playing back the sequence data plays the entire rhythm sample. The advantage to this is that you can then adjust the tempo of the sequencer over a wide range, and still keep the rhythm perfectly in sync with the other tracks. 236 MOTIF Reference Sample Voice Assigned to a specified key Sequence data n Detailed settings (meter, measure number etc,) are specified in the Slice display after sampling. • Source Determines the recording source. ❏ Settings A/D Analog audio from the A/D INPUT jacks or mLAN terminal (with optional mLAN8E) is recognized as the recording source. resample The signal (already recorded sample or preset wave) output from the MOTIF's OUTPUT jacks is recognized as a recording source and "resampled". Digital Digital audio from the DIGITAL IN terminal or OPTICAL IN terminal (with optional AIEB2) is recognized as the recording source. • Mono/Stereo Determines whether new samples will be recorded as stereo or mono samples. ❏ Settings monoL The L-channel signal will be recorded as a mono sample. monoR The R-channel signal will be recorded as a mono sample. monoL+R The L-channel and R-channel signals will be mixed and recorded as a mono sample. stereo A stereo sample will be recorded. • Frequency (Sampling Frequency) Specifies the sampling frequency. The rate at which digital readings are taken is referred to as the sampling frequency. Higher sampling frequencies result in higher quality sound. ❏ Settings 44.1k (44.1 kHz), 22kLo (22.05 kHz Lo-Fi), 11kLo (11.025 kHz Lo-Fi), 5kLo (5.5125 kHz Lo-Fi) n When the Source is set to A/D and the mLAN terminal is used as an analog input, the Frequency is fixed to 44.1 kHz and cannot be changed. n At settings other than 44.1 kHz, the sound monitored during recording may be different from the recorded sound, depending on the source signal.
