Greetings Forum,
I have a song that has a drum loop sample that was imported from my Motif ES. Importing the Song with its sample works fine. I’ve now been asked to change the tempo of the sample. I realize there is a gap in my understanding. I have read the Owner’s Manual including the pages 203-210 regarding sampling in song mode. My XF is on the current OS. I have a Flash board installed; I have about 85 waveforms on it. Their sizes are small e.g. I have used less than 1/3 of the space; it appears I am far below the other limits for the Flash board. Most of my waveforms feed ‘oneshot’ keybanks using one note e.g. C1. [Pardon some of my imprecise Motif language].
Advice and links to appropriate threads will be greatly appreciated. |

See this thread to copy a sample from a flash module so that it can be edited:

Thank you 5pinDIN, your post on May 12th was particularly helpful [http://www.motifator.com/index.php/forum/viewthread/479760] in combination with the support article on slicing. I was able to load the waveform from the flash module and slice it etc. The “SONG†VOICE appears present in the mixing screen. However the editing does not survive a power cycle. |

You’re welcome.

I’m not certain what the difficulty is, but here are some things to consider… Did you check mark “Delete Original” when copying the Sample from flash?
Make sure that the edited Sample is returned to the flash module
Be sure to [STORE] the edited Song Mixing. |

Repeated the procedure. Confirmed all those settings you mentioned.

Since you’re working in Song mode, this section of the support article is critical:
Perhaps that’s where the difficulty lies. See Loop Playback Settings - [SF2] Loop on page 143 of the XF Reference Manual. EDIT: If you’re not getting the “Slices” while editing the sample, I suggest that you go through the support article using the sample provided in the ZIP file, and see if you can get the expected result. I tried it (in Song mode) and wound up with the slices covering C3 through E4. Let us know if you get that far. If that works satisfactorily, it’s important that you next “Press [ENTER] to fix.”, or you’ll lose the slice data. That step creates the new, sliced, Waveform. In the case of the sample from the support article, Waveform 002 has 17 KeyBanks, with the key range I mentioned (C3~E4). |

Must have been user error. After repeated tries before and after my posts, It Worked! Thank you as always! |

You’re welcome - I’m glad you got it working. As with many of the more involved procedures on the Motifs, perseverance usually pays off. |
