I have a Motif ES 6 and I have a 9 bar track. Bars 1 and 2 is my intro and I want to loop bars 3 to 9 about 4 times starting in bar 10. I have 5 different patches (sounds) and I want to copy everything. All this is in section A. Is there a way to do this instead of playing like 31 bars of the same thing? Thanks |

Our math says this will yield 30 measures, not 31 - are you sure about your measures?
Here is what you must do to reconfigure your SECTION. It will read more complicated than it is to do.
_ You will create a PATTERN CHAIN that includes just your 9 Measure Section.
_ Use the SPLIT SONG to SPLIT Job to paste the 30 measures back to PATTERN. If you need more information let us know. |

The number 31 that I gave you was just an approximation; I didn’t do the actual math. But you are correct that it would yield 30 measures. I think I will need some detailed instruction on how to do everything that you mentioned above. |

For this example we will be using PATTERN 01 and SONG 01… your numbers can vary - use whatever PATTERN and SONG locations you require. The thing to know is you need an “empty” SONG location to which you will transfer the data, edit it and then you will retrieve it.
Call up your PATTERN
001 __ 4/4 ______ A
Press [F3] SONG> Set the dialog box so that:
SONG 01
You do not need program change information - make sure the “without PC” is marked.
Press [SONG]
--------------------------------------------
003:1:000 - 010:1:000
Press [ENTER] to execute. Yes, you copy from the first beat of measure 3 to the first beat of measure 10, that is your 7 complete measures. And yes you target the first beat of measure 10. Measure:Beat:Clock tick
Press [JOB]
------------------------------------------
PATTERN 01 - SECTION [A]
This will write your 30 measures back to the original PATTERN SECTION and create the appropriate 30 measure Phrase - playing as you outlined. Hope that helps. |
