I just got a new MOXF8 less than a week ago.🤤 This tutorial was the most helpful I have seen yet--show the buttons, the display, the sequence, and how it comes together. Not over-spoken, no tangents or superfluous commentary. This is what I wanted to know how to do, and you showed me. Perfect for how I learn. I will be checking out more of your videos as I grow! Thank you.
I was just trying to find out how to save a cheesy little pattern I somehow made up, but your skills putting together “Do It Again” blew me away. You did it with ease and threw me for a loop🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very nice set of videos, Cathy. I don't know why ppl don't want audio instruction with their videos. It would be hard to teach an instrument without any sound, I think. I try to learn as much as possible, so I love your explanations, and prefer the added information. Thank you for taking the time, and I hope all your keyboard dreams come true!
Cathy, this is one of the best, if not the best video I've seen on this. I used to have the Motif ES8, and now that I have the MOXF8 (same functions for sequencing) I'm just looking for a vid to find the things I used to use years ago. What great talent, great overview and perfectly displayed song. Sidenote. From the original drum beat at the beginning first sequence, I knew exactly what song that was from. So glad to see it come alive before my eyes.
Thanks, Dan! Be sure to watch all of my videos and I think you will learn a lot about the keyboard. I am self-taught, so some of my methods might not be the best, but I have figured a lot out and I am trying to spare Motif owners some grief.
@@synthesizerisking2886 In the Pattern Mode there is a tab called Patch. Each part you record is called a phrase and is designated a number. If you record the drum track first in section A it is given the number 1. If you want to copy that phrase to section B all you have to do is select section B and press S4 Patch. Then dial phrase 1.
Thank you Cathy, this really helps me get started sequencing on the this and other Yamaha Keyboards. Not as easy as the Korg Keyboards. I got very frustrated after 4-5 hours figuring out and still didn't quite get it or understand it until now. Two things: I do prefer the audio instructions like the "How to record a song" tutorial as I can always pause and go back instead reading and trying to follow your steps. The next thing is do you have a tutorial on converting patterns into or as a complete song?...Thanks
After you record your pattern, hit F6 (Chain). Then hit record. After you have recorded your pattern in Chain mode then hit "Edit" (RH side of your keyboard over by "Job"). Then hit F3 (Song). It will ask if you want to convert the pattern a song. Dial up the song number you want to send it to. Then hit "enter." Now go to Song Mode and dial up the song and your pattern will be there. The bottom line is you have to record your pattern into a chain before converting it to song. If your pattern is moving between Sections A, B, C, etc., you will have to manually push those buttons as you record it to a chain. If you mess up half way through you will have to start your record over. Please also note that when you start to record a chain, the tempo always defaults to 120. If your song is slower or faster, you might want to change the tempo after you hit Chain then Record. You will see a place to alter the tempo. HOWEVER, you can always adjust/alter the tempo once you have it over in song mode and it might be a good idea to chain-record it slower if you are trying to push buttons to change sections at just the right time. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions. Be sure to watch all of my videos. I think I covered this in one of them????
Hello. I love your videos! I have many performances but I now want to sequence some of the parts and still play others locally while I perform. How do I do that?
In the video it shows me doing just that. After you record your "pattern" or "sequence" you then move to a new track where there is nothing recorded. Choose the instrument you want to play (piano/electric piano/etc.) and then play on that track along with the pre-recorded tracks.
Cathy! Thank you so much for the video! Do you know how we could change the time signature of the metronome while recording these patterns? To say, 3/4? Or to subdivide? Would I go to the general metronome settings or edit it in Pattern mode somehow? Thanks again!
When you begin to record a pattern look at the main screen (F1-Play) and you will see a time signature just to the left of the metronome number. Navigate to the time signature using the arrow keys and change it to what you want it to be using the data wheel. If your pattern section A is one time signature, your pattern section B can be a different one, and section C can be different again. But within one pattern section (loop) you are locked into one time signature. Hope this answers your question.
If you watch my How to edit a Song video, you will learn how to delete selected notes from a pattern, in the event that you messed up the last drum beat. I think the easiest way is to stop the sequencer between beats so that you always have the undo option for each layer that you add.
After you record your pattern, of course you can just hit play and play along with it. Be sure to move to the track which has the instrument you want to use when playing along.
@@cathyt6773Can I lower the saved drum pattern volume to play along with it? And Can I use performance layer sounds to play along with a track in a live situation?
@@xxJP805xx Yes, you can lower the volume of an individual track(s). There are a couple of ways to do this. One way is, while you are in song or pattern mode, open the MIXING window (right next to the PATTERN mode button to the right of the dial). Then hit F1 (Vol/Pan). Now navigate to the track you want to soften and dial the volume down by moving the "slider" down. Another way is to go over to the LH side of the keyboard and you will see two sets of 4 knobs. Just to the left of each bank of 4 knobs is a light grey rectangular button. If you press these two buttons at the same time you will see volume controls appear on the screen. Those four knobs now have become volume controls for the first 4 tracks on your song or pattern. I show how to do this in one of my videos - - can't remember which one . . . (sorry). You'll just have to watch all of them! You will learn a lot if you do.
Watch my How to Record a Song video and you will see the difference. Much is the same but patterns are loops the keep repeating. Songs are one continuous recording.
@@xxJP805xx I just did the following, which you might like to try. I recorded a four measure song - piano on one track, bass on another track and guitar on another track. Then I hit JOB then F6 (Song - button under the screen). Then go to "Split Song to Pattern". Hit enter. Now dial up the measures that you want to loop. I dialed up measures 001 - 004 (4 measures). Then you will see PATTERN on the screen. Choose a pattern number that you know is available (has no previous data recorded on it). I chose and dialed up pattern 33. Then hit ENTER. You have just send your song over to PATTERN mode. Now go into PATTERN mode and go to the pattern number that you chose to send your song to. If you hit play, the song will be there - - all of the tracks with the right voices will be there. HOWEVER, on my keyboard when I go to Pattern mode, the default length of a pattern is 4 measures. If your song is longer than 4 measures, you will need to dial up the number of measures that it is (on the RH side of the main screen for pattern mode - - it will look like this: 001:01/004 - - if your song is 100 measures dial up 001:01/100).. Now the song will keep repeating because you have created one big pattern. Does that make sense? It is really simple to do this. There might be another way to loop a song, but I don't know how to do it.
@cathyt6773 thank you so much. Yes it does make sense. My other question is, Are you able to use layered sounds to play with along with your pattern or can you only use one voice at a time? Please help, thanks. :)
It always changes on downbeat of the next measure (beat 1 of the next measure). It won't switch immediately. I usually hit the next "section" around beat 3 or 4 of the measure that I am in, and then it then switches on beat 1 of the ensuing measure. Play around with it and get a feel for how it works.
@@cathyt6773 Cool thanx for the answer. On question i still have there i cant find: can you save the Pattern you created for one song (EG Section A to G) in one Preset called for example Song 1 and load it on the fly and play with the "loops" you created live?
If you are in song or pattern mode, hit "JOB" (button is below the pattern button on keyboard) then hit F2 (under the display screen), then select Quantize and hit enter.

Be sure to watch my video "Getting Started."

Be sure to watch my video "How to Record a Song, Name It and Save It." The saving information works the same for a pattern.
This sight recommended by my brother...it is an awesome sight with a fine teacher explaining features of this piano keyboard!!!! thanks!!!!
Glad you like it!

Большое спасибо за то, что уделили время на запись этого урока. Ваши демонстрации очень понятны и просты. Пусть сбудутся Ваши желания!
you are an excellent teacher. thanks so much for doing this! love your style. gh
Your Lessons have been the most useful to me
Thank you i really appreciate these tutorials. They’re so helpful x
Thanks Cathy. I have resetted my MOX 8 now it works fin. Now i have uppdate my knowlige.
yes, thank you for taking the time to make these videos - they really are helpful! thank you!

Great and simple tutorial...I love the factor that you don't talk...thanks for sharing with us :)
You can use the patch page in the pattern sequencer to copy phrases. This way you do not have to record the phrase a second time.
How you do that? I am lost

Thank you, Cathy ! Sometimes the text disappears a bit to fast and the letters could be bigger. Anyway : a helpfull tutorial.
Sorry. I am not very experienced with iMovie, but decided to post this video anyway.
You made it look easy.
And now it is 😊
Hi Cathy, thanks for your videos - is there an undo in pattern mode in case I mess up a the last drum beat? thanks Chris

"back Jack, do it again..., " nice tutorial!
Wow la bestia 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🥲
Can you show how to "step write" on this board?
When starting the pattern, would I be able to play along with it?
After you record your pattern, of course you can just hit play and play along with it. Be sure to move to the track which has the instrument you want to use when playing along.
