Motif XS: Tutorial 4 Audio input connect record export

This 4th tutorial shows how to connect and set-up a device/instrument (in this tutorial it's an electric guitar) to your Motif XS audio input, how to apply 2 effects, how to record the audio together with a perfomance to a song or pattern and finally how to export the whole song to your hard disk as a .wav file. Please take a look to all 3 first tutorials to get answers for direct parts of the proccess like perfomance recording, microphone-vocoder use and how to save directly to your PC with a crossover cable connection.

Can this be done on a Motif ES? I went to utility and I don't see the two effects inerts you have here on your XS...great tutorial btw! cheers

[cmorganis]

never owned an ES...sorry! But I am assuming you can because the ES is similar to the XS in its audio inputs/connections.

Excellent vid, - why Yamaha couldn't have explained it this clearly in the user manual I don't know. Now I just need a tutorial like this on sample slicing and time stretching to match different tempos

Hi CMorganis

I've been trying for many times to do the same but instead an Elec. Guitar, I use a microphone (AUDIO IN). I can record my voice in one of the tracks of the songs, but when I finish singing and go back the SONG, it never appears the track in Blue color (indicating this is a sampled track..

Am I missing something?

Do I need to SLICE after recording ???

You have your sampling directly in track 5....If you press play button....would it sound together with the rest of tracks

hello, I can not edit samples.ejemplo, release, attack, decay, etc,,,

Thank you so much for putting this on. I just bought a Motif XS6, and need to record some small audio samples to be able to cue up live for songs. Is it pretty much the same application as here? Thanks

Also after reading the manual, looks like I gotta buy 2 identical DIMM modules to save samples.
