I have a Motif ES and want to create a Reverse Piano voice, like Yes uses on Roundabout intro. I’ve never done integrated sampling and could use some advice. Not having a lot of luck. Any suggestions for a voice libraries to purchase? |

My cut to the chase method for accomplishing this: Back up any existing data you may cherish as it may be placed in peril.
To resample a Preset Piano Voice, select the Voice, press Integrated Sampling then F6 (rec)
Press Integrated Sampling, select the Waveform you’ve created, Press Job>Keybank
From Voice Mode, initialize a Voice. Press Edit>Element 1, set Wavebank to User and select your waveform.
When satisfied, name and store the Voice to a previously mentioned non-cherished location in the event that you did not back up your data. Finally, back up your newly created data so that you may visit it again one day. |

In honor of Paul Harvey, Page Two:
My latest research from the internet indicates that this was recorded as the two lowest E notes on a piano. For whatever reason to me it sounds as though more notes are involved and I added a triad of G B E an octave above the 2nd E and it yielded much better results. If your instrument does not have 88 keys you’ll need to tune it appropriately before recording. I clocked the original segment from the studio recording at an average of 7.63 seconds and attempted to match that as close as possible while recording thus avoiding further editing of the waveform and saving time. While a good task to accomplish I think it’s not to be forgotten that this yields a reverse sample of a digital piano and naturally lacks the inherent qualities of a decent acoustic piano. Maybe one day I’ll sample the original and reverse it to hear what’s really going on. Stone |

Stone, Holy crap...that sounds really amazing. Thank You so much for the research, the step by steps and the .wav. I loaded it into an initialized voice and adjusted the Amplitude and Filter Attacks to 100. Sounds great! I’m only having trouble with the Key Follow command. I can not get the waveform to trigger in semitones. I believe the tune only uses a reverse E and reverse C triad in the intro. The manual says in Voice mode, Edit F2 Pitch/KeyFlw/Pitch Sens/ set to 100 for semi tones. If set to “0” as you stated, the same tone will trigger on every key. I tried both but can not get the voice tone to change. |
