Mo Skool 2 V2 Manual

v. 2.0

OWNER’S MANUAL !

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the DCP Productions “MO SKOOL 2 V2” sound library for the Yamaha Motif XS. To use this sound library, you must have at least 256 MB of RAM (DIMMS) installed in your Motif XS. 512 MB is recommended. Your Motif XS did not ship with any DIMMS modules, so you must purchase and install these yourself. Refer to page 295 of your Motif XS owner’s manual for more information on installing DIMMS modules. “MO SKOOL 2 V2” includes 128 voices, 32 new user drumkits, and 29 pattern templates with pre-sliced audio grooves that can be played at any tempo. Urban grooves and beats, sounds, and FX are included, for rap, hip-hop, r&b, techno, dance, chillout, glitch, electronica – any style of music that calls for cutting edge rhythmic textures and sounds. “MO SKOOL 2 V2” is a huge step up from the original “MO SKOOL” library developed by DCP Productions for the Yamaha Motif Classic and Motif ES synthesizers. Featuring over 111 MB of new samples (the original Mo Skool included only 4 MB) , MO SKOOL 2 goes where no other sound library for the Motif synthesizers has gone before. Complete mixed and mastered audio beats are now available in VOICE mode, for “one-touch” playback. No knowledge of beat-making is required – just press a key, and a beat or groove starts. Furthermore, these audio beats have been “sliced” and loaded to pattern templates, so you can use them at any tempo and build your own tracks around them. Also included are a variety of analog and digital bass sounds, “straight off of vinyl” electric pianos, clavinets, ethnic plucked sounds, acoustic and electric guitars, strings, funky brass and flutes, hits, and construction kits created from the original audio grooves. FX sounds include robot beats and voices, male and female vocalizations, needle drops, scratches and scrapes, gunshots, explosions, breaking glass, helicopters, cell phone ringtones, orchestral samples, rewind/fast forward sounds, reverse drum loops, and more.

HOW TO USE MO SKOOLHOW TO USE MO SKOOL

NOTES ABOUT THE SAMPLED AUDIO BEAT VOICES –

READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:

The first 64 voices in “MO SKOOL 2 V2” are primarily “instant beat” voices which utilize complete sampled audio beats. In VOICE mode, you cannot adjust the tempo of the audio beats without changing the pitch – the tempo is fixed. If you change the pitch (using the pitch bend wheel or knob or other controller), the tempo of the beat will of course change, but it cannot be locked to either the Motif XS’ internal clock, or to external MIDI sync. If you want to match the tempo of an audio beat in VOICE mode to the tempo of your sequence, you will have to “guesstimate” and “fine-tune” the pitch up and down until it sounds close.

Each voice that uses a sampled audio beat DOES have a specific tempo, however – so if you do not adjust the pitch of the voice, you can simply “play it” on the beat with your sequence metronome, quantize it to the appropriate value (whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, or sixteenths) and the beat will play back in perfect time with your sequence. So how do you know what the “original” tempo for each sampled audio beat voice is? Fortunately, we’ve done that work for you already. Simply select the voice, then press the SELECTED PART CONTROL button on the XS front panel until the third row LED is lit. You can see the tempo listed in the display, beneath the TEMPO KNOB icon. Alternately, you can do this:

1. Select a voice. 2. Press EDIT, then COMMON/EDIT, and then F2. 3. The tempo is listed in the upper right hand portion of the

display. You can also find the tempo for voices listed, where applicable, in this manual. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT CHANGING THE TEMPO KNOB WILL NOT CHANGE THE TEMPO OF AN AUDIO BEAT IN VOICE MODE. UNLESS NOTED IN THE VOICE DESCRIPTION. Audio beats in PATTERN mode CAN be adjusted to any tempo, as they have been “pre-sliced” and prepared for that. Please see the section of this manual titled “PATTERN DESCRIPTIONS” for more information on the pattern templates and “pre-sliced” audio beats.

RECORDING BEATS INTO A COMPUTER AUDIO

PROGRAM

If you use a computer audio recording program - digital audio workstation (DAW) such as Pro Tools, Cubase, Sonar, Logic, Digital Performer, Cakewalk, Traktion, or Ableton Live, then you can easily record any MO SKOOL 2 audio beat Voice onto an audio track and then adjust the beat to your project tempo. Different DAW’s have different processes for doing this – for example, in Pro Tools, the “Elastic Time” process will adjust the beat to the project tempo, while in Cubase, the process is called “Vari Audio”, and in Logic it is called “FlexTime”.

AND ABOUT CONTROLLERS –

All of the “MO SKOOL 2 V2” voices are designed so that something happens when you move/play one of the following controllers (some controllers may be unassigned in certain voices): Assignable Knob 1 Assignable Knob 2 Assignable Function Switch 1 Assignable Function Switch 2 Pitch Bend Wheel Mod Wheel Ribbon Try using any of these controllers while playing - you'll see that the creative possibilities really expand when you do. Plus, the "fun factor" increases as well!

PATTERN MODE CONTENTSPATTERN MODE CONTENTS

There are 29 Pattern Mixes, each containing a “sliced” audio beat on track 1, plus 2 to 5 additional MIDI “voice” track assignments. You can easily assign more sounds to each of the MIDI tracks in each mix, for a total of 16 tracks maximum (the audio beat on track 1, plus 15 additional MIDI tracks). The tempo for any pattern can be freely adjusted, in real time, and the audio beat will automatically follow your changes. This is different from the way it is in VOICE mode. All of the MIDI track assignments in a Pattern Mix can be changed – the ones set up for each pattern are simply “guideline” or “suggestions” that compliment the audio beats – a bass sound, a keyboard sound, a lead sound, an fx sound, string sound, and so on. Feel free to change each Pattern Mix as you want – pattern name, track volumes, panning, voice assignments, effects routings, sends, etc. You can further edit each of the sounds assigned to the MIDI tracks, and store these edited voices as “Mix voices” assigned to the Pattern Mix.

Be sure to STORE any changes you make to each pattern before proceeding to the next Pattern. For further details on Pattern mode, including recording to a Pattern, editing Pattern Mixes and saving your changes, refer to the section of your Motif XS Owner’s Manual which starts on pg. 208. Specific information on Pattern Mix starts on pg. 231 of the Motif XS Owner’s Manual. Additional (and extremely detailed) information on using Pattern mode can be found on the Motif XS DVD, available for sale from http://www.motifator.com/. NOTE: As with the rest of MO SKOOL 2, Pattern Mixes will be lost when you power down your Motif XS. You must reload the MO SKOOL 2 “ALL” file when you power up your Motif XS. The name of each pattern corresponds to the name of the original audio beat that was sliced and put into the pattern. To access the Patterns –

1. Press PATTERN button on your Motif XS front panel. 2. Directly beneath “PATTERN” in the display, you should see the

Pattern Number, “01” highlighted in blue-green. 3. To advance to the next Pattern, press the INC/YES button, or turn the

Jog Wheel. 4. To hear playback of the audio beat in a Pattern, press the PLAY

button in the SEQ TRANSPORT section of your front panel. 5. To play the sounds on the of the tracks in the pattern, press one of

the TRK buttons, 1-16.
