For jazz players, both of these keyboards are good. MM6 is the synth based on PSR-S500 gear. MM6 has the real-time sound modify knobs, PSR-S has more advanced arranger functionality. MM6 also has very realistic Mega Voices, whereas PSR-S has built-in speakers. MM6 is called "smaller, cheaper Motif", PSR-S500 is called "smaller, cheaper Tyros", so the choice belongs to you :)
What a brilliant demonstrator - his enthusiasm is infectious!

This presentation is amazing. Bert is amazing at finding the best sounds of a keyboard, even if sometimes he makes short clips so you don't realize the REAL quality of mm6. The MM6 seems interesting, but it doesn't have user presets for your own sounds, no aftertouch, only midi in and out, etc.
Yamaha, tasty playing and to the point, can't go wrong with that. It's like with me and Ibanez. Incredible guitarist, great guitar manufacturer and straight to the point.
That guitar blows my mind. I remember when I wanted a Motif so bad a few years back, but was never able to get it, and ended up getting a QS6.1, which was still good, but oh man I wanna get this when I can!
Very nice keyboard...I have my Yamaha MM6...i upgrade and sold my Roland E-28...Now i'm enjoying my Yamaha MM6, very useful since i am handling 2 Choirs and A Show Band in our Company...Also i'm the Overall Coordinator of our Music Club..So many good patches and patterns...in the Future i'm planning to Upgrade on Yamaha MO6...
I've used the MM6 live now for a year and a half - durable and everything this rep says it is. Looks like a toy, as light as a feather, but is filled with the big Motif features.
This guy is right up there with Ron Popeil, Chef Tony, Billy Mays, and the ShamWow Guy. I can honestly say Bert Smorenburg made me go from just thinking about ordering an MM6 to actually buying one. Can't wait to get mine. And to get funky.
@sakebutor1 I mean, it takes a LOT of dedication to this keyboard to make the piano sound sweet like this, because of the lack of feel in the keys. A normal pianist would give up with this machine. This guy makes it sound like it's the best piano you've ever heard.
It's called being a good player - Bert knows his stuff ... if anything, sound quality here on RUclips is atrocious. The only thing they might have done is pass the sound through a mastering compressor/EQ, but you can do the same, using even the machine's own internal effects.
What the hell! :D No one could make me want to buy an instrument I cannot play. This guy just did. This guy can sell anything. And his playing is excellent.
Step up is HUGE! The step up is so big, it's like you're comparing two totally different instruments. You'll be going from the PSR arranger interface of the MM6 to a board that has the interface of the Motif ES. HUGE JUMP, and for some it's a large learning curve because the MM6 and the MO series are so different from eachother.
It is a PSR keyboard. The screen is from the DGX series, the knobs from the DJX line, the sequencer from the S-500. Several of the sounds are even from the PSR line. Yamaha beefed this PSR with Motif sounds and dropped the speakers. The Pre-MM6 was called the Yamaha DJX. Look that one up.
Awsome demo...! He reminds me a bit of Photoshop guru Russell Brown, both completely hilarious as well as seriously good at what they do. Thanks for the show...!
Its Adrian Edmondson!!! Such enthusiasm, i love it. He's right, i may just buy one of these as opposed to something at £100 which i was planning, until now.
I have one of these Bought it for 100us... I love it. This is a great example of what it does... But no SPEAKERS. GOTTA RUN IT THRU MY BASS AMP... Sounds great.
My Gosh --I am so impressed by your talent in playing .!!! wish I knew just a little bit of how to play like you --love everything you demo'd. I should have waited --and bought this yammie --i just bought the 530 and it will have to do. Thanks for sharing this vid !
It does sound great. I have bought it myself. I am actually mostly a pianist myself so I know what you are talking about when you are disappointed that the key are not weighted, but actually you get used to the keys very quickly. I think it is a great keyboard.
I like him more and more, with every watch :D, he knows how to show product and what is going on at the moment, full profgesionalism :) I got Yamaha MM6 not long time ago and it's really fun ^_^ *violin sounds* Great video ^_^
Best presentation I have ever seen! I owned this keyboard, It is cool, it is sad that Yamaha don't produce it anymore. But the guy is amazing! Where is new demo with him?
Jeheiel Smith The only thing I don´t like on the MM6 is the keybed. I had one for testing, and it felt like the keyboard of a PSR-E-Series model. The sound is not bad at all.
I have just found this keyboard when I took the trash out - and it works! (the AC adapter was missing, but I had one already from my RM1x.) People are either crazy or have too much money! Or both.
Lucky find! I hope it wasn't outside for very long but seriously whoever put it out with the trash must have rocks in their head. I can't remember how much the MM6 was back in the day but it was probably at least £600 which is still a lot of money.
I have the Juno D and I like really like the sound quality of it. This Yamaha seems pretty good also, and looks to have a few more features than the Juno. I hope this helps.
All three of those are good models. You just have to ask yourself which one you'd like better in terms of sounds, and which one has the features you would use the most. However, keep in mind the Juno-G does not have a pattern sequencer. It only has a 16 trk sequencer (that does loop). The MO6 has both a 16 trk pattern and 16 trk linear. The TR has great sounds too, and IMO Korg still takes the lead in string and orchestral patches.
Keep in mind the sounds are "Based" on the Motif Classic, this is not, as they want you to believe, a low priced Motif. You also cannot use this as a module connected to a master keyboard as Yamaha deliberately crippled the midi implementation. Having said that, it's still a fine keyboard for the price, you just need to be aware of the limitations. As for Bert, he is the top dog in keyboard demonstrators. I have not seen anyone who comes even close.
Hey Animism! Thanks for this video! I'm looking at the MM6, a Yamaha DGX530 and a Yamaha SY-55 Synthesizer. They're all the same price (used). Lifelong guitarist but took 5 years of piano lesson as a kid. I want great piano, organ (B3) sounds and the occasional Jan Hammer solo. What do you think?
I would pick the MM6, in fact I'm waiting for a good deal on one, but all three are a bit dated these days, their pianos and organs are PCM and not very articulate. A newer model like the S670, S550 or even the Casio CTx5000 could give you a better set of voices in a more versatile package
Haha, I bought this.... It's wicked!! But then again I think the learning process for any new synthesizer takes a while. But it is worth it, from my POV
The Best sales man in the history!
elvistar agree
14 year old me saw this video back in 2007. I bought it and I still use it to this day. I'm now 24. Thank you for the all the happy year
This guy rules. I can't even play and now I need to get one of these electrified pianos.
Because of this guy I bought an MM6. A good decision it was. :D
Good One yes❤ i agree. I have the MO6 ,MX49 MOXF6 and the MM6 the somewhat motif line
Great demo presentation! In a limited time this excellent musician has shown us so much the MM6 can do. Bravo!
For jazz players, both of these keyboards are good. MM6 is the synth based on PSR-S500 gear. MM6 has the real-time sound modify knobs, PSR-S has more advanced arranger functionality.

Step it up im from the XS Set MX49
this is by far the most soulful synth demo I've ever seen!!! Bravo!!!!
Such an amazing salesman! Anyone can see how happy he is using the keyboard and that's the whole point!
What a brilliant demonstrator - his enthusiasm is infectious!
This presentation is amazing. Bert is amazing at finding the best sounds of a keyboard, even if sometimes he makes short clips so you don't realize the REAL quality of mm6.
The MM6 seems interesting, but it doesn't have user presets for your own sounds, no aftertouch, only midi in and out, etc.
Love this guy, he's so awesome and the things he played are also very good. ^^
Yamaha, tasty playing and to the point, can't go wrong with that. It's like with me and Ibanez. Incredible guitarist, great guitar manufacturer and straight to the point.
I actually liked 5:02-5:11. I don't know what's more entertaining.. watching him play or seeing this great keyboard in action.
Seriously---one can't fake that enthusiasm or aptitude. What a guy.
love this guy!
This guy can make every keyboard sounds amazing :)
That guitar blows my mind. I remember when I wanted a Motif so bad a few years back, but was never able to get it, and ended up getting a QS6.1, which was still good, but oh man I wanna get this when I can!
This one video made me buy a Yamaha MM6.
"I have no idea what I'm doing, but it's fun!" this guy is really one of a kind
man this keyboard rocks!!, love yamaha stuff from their motorbikes to their music instrument!!..
Very nice keyboard...I have my Yamaha MM6...i upgrade and sold my Roland E-28...Now i'm enjoying my Yamaha MM6, very useful since i am handling 2 Choirs and A Show Band in our Company...Also i'm the Overall Coordinator of our Music Club..So many good patches and patterns...in the Future i'm planning to Upgrade on Yamaha MO6...

A normal pianist would give up with this machine.
This guy makes it sound like it's the best piano you've ever heard.
oh man i love this guy...he makes those product-presentations fun!
This guy is totally brilliant!
It's called being a good player - Bert knows his stuff ... if anything, sound quality here on RUclips is atrocious. The only thing they might have done is pass the sound through a mastering compressor/EQ, but you can do the same, using even the machine's own internal effects.
about time we had a more fun approach to these demos..the guys awesome..
Brilliant review - this guy really knows how to play this thing - cheers for posting - PS - great sounds on 1st listen here - need to hear more soon.
The guy is a proper showman!! Apart from his sales pitch in the end, that was quite fun...
Bert Smorenburg is the bomb... at doing Yamaha product demos anyway. Go look them all up, he's pure entertainment.
What the hell! :D
No one could make me want to buy an instrument I cannot play. This guy just did.
This guy can sell anything. And his playing is excellent.
YES! So awesome to see how stoked you are about music!

Best. Salesman. Ever. This guy cracks me up.
I dont know what is more interesting.
The Keyboard or this great guy xD He's in his element :D
This guy is a star - who cares about the keyboard, he should be on TV. At first I thought it was Adrian Edmonson doing a Swedish accent - brilliant!
i love how excited he gets and he's dutch and he's pretty good:D
It is a PSR keyboard. The screen is from the DGX series, the knobs from the DJX line, the sequencer from the S-500. Several of the sounds are even from the PSR line. Yamaha beefed this PSR with Motif sounds and dropped the speakers. The Pre-MM6 was called the Yamaha DJX. Look that one up.
This guy is awesome!!!... He knows how to sell a product.. Nice YAMAHA!!!
This guy almost makes me want 2 buy this keyboard just because he looks like he's havin fun!
i could sit and watch him all day no shit
Awsome demo...! He reminds me a bit of Photoshop guru Russell Brown, both completely hilarious as well as seriously good at what they do. Thanks for the show...!
This guy knows how to play different tones, and how to show features of a keyboard!
Its Adrian Edmondson!!! Such enthusiasm, i love it. He's right, i may just buy one of these as opposed to something at £100 which i was planning, until now.
Man!, that keyboard is wonderful! I want to buy that machine!!!
Agreed! I don't want to hear talk...play the machine! I'm buyin' one! Excellent demo!
Just found one on the second hand market. VERY good price.Getting it soon. Yay!!!
Hahaha this sums it up:
"I've no idea what I'm doing, but it's fun!"
What a great guy!
“ I have no idea what I’m doing but it’s fun “ amazing :)
"I've got no idea what im doing but its fun"
haha.
very cool demo and instrument
I love the way this review was done.
I have one of these
Bought it for 100us...
I love it. This is a great example of what it does... But no SPEAKERS.
GOTTA RUN IT THRU MY BASS AMP... Sounds great.
I reckon Bert could play a dried dog turd and I’d still want to buy it! Awesome enthusiasm!
the sound is great!!!
this guy cracks me up lol... 2:42 to 2:50 has me in stitches... his facial expressions are summit else lmao
My Gosh --I am so impressed by your talent in playing .!!!
wish I knew just a little bit of how to play like you --love everything you demo'd.
I should have waited --and bought this yammie --i just bought the 530 and it will have to do.

I got Yamaha MM6 not long time ago and it's really fun ^_^
*violin sounds*
Great video ^_^
More reviews should be made like this... He's straight to the point.... And now I want an MM6!!! =]
Best presentation I have ever seen! I owned this keyboard, It is cool, it is sad that Yamaha don't produce it anymore. But the guy is amazing! Where is new demo with him?
He is Yamaha's best demo guy. He makes me wanna buy this keyboard .
before buying this product I would love to learn from you,...You are madly in love with your job,..
Well I love the introduction.
It's as big as my Casio LK-55 but with more features. I'll consider buying it
This guy gets me excited about this keyboard all over again
Jeheiel Smith I prefer the MX61 or MoXF 6 instead
If I had the money to, I would as well But the mm6 costs a couple hundred dollars less than those.
Jeheiel Smith The only thing I don´t like on the MM6 is the keybed. I had one for testing, and it felt like the keyboard of a PSR-E-Series model. The sound is not bad at all.
I bought the thing from BAX! Really nice shop and amazing knowledged guys at the shop.
Now this is a great host to talk about keyboards!
More videos please!
Haha 3:00 "And I'm immediately gonna turn the knobs! I have no idea what I'm doing but it's fun!"
cool showman and nice machine!
I must admit, he is one hell of a seller!
Coolest synth demo - no argument!!!
the greatest consultant ever!!!!!!!!)))
Dangnammit, I'm ready to it!!! He's definitely a seller!!!
If I met a seller like this in person, I would definitely shake his hands big time.
This guy is awesome!!! :D and the keyboard, too..
I'm also recordind the first album of my band with the keyboards entirely made from mm6 and nothing else. it just fills my needs
You're really fun to watch....great keyboard.....great presenter!!!!!:)
I could watch this guy for hours.
Favorite quote:
"Wait a second...I recognize this guitars! This is megavoices!!!"
👍👍
very good demo. I was looking at a Korg, but this is changing my mind big time!
I have just found this keyboard when I took the trash out - and it works! (the AC adapter was missing, but I had one already from my RM1x.) People are either crazy or have too much money! Or both.
Lucky find! I hope it wasn't outside for very long but seriously whoever put it out with the
trash must have rocks in their head. I can't remember how much the MM6 was back in the
day but it was probably at least £600 which is still a lot of money.
I got mine in the mail today:) Thanks Bert your Demo convinced me!
This dude rocks! Haa... @ 3:04 "I have no idea what I am doing but it is fun" Classic... [2]
Other than megavoices my DGX-505 has the same pathces. Grand piano, sax, flute, strings, everything. From 2004...
Best demo video ever!
Great demo ! this guy has passion for his game and I like that. Do it with passion or don't do it at all. Keep it up champ.
The piano patch rocks.
Best demo of a keyboard ever 😎😎😎
I have the Juno D and I like really like the sound quality of it. This Yamaha seems pretty good also, and looks to have a few more features than the Juno. I hope this helps.

Ce mec est fort, tellement enthousiaste...
Je vais l'acheter rien que pour lui!

Having said that, it's still a fine keyboard for the price, you just need to be aware of the limitations. As for Bert, he is the top dog in keyboard demonstrators. I have not seen anyone who comes even close.
I hope Yamaha's paying him enough.
How much coffee did they give him??
He's hysterical.
I laughed at :
be funky , all by myself ! XD
aqui é um lugar pra cultura pra quem saca música e não pra falar besteiras
You could always get one of these,then get a weighted key midi controller...its what i did, works a treat :)
Yeah he is cool... Great presenter. I really going to buy this after watching this video...
Hey Animism! Thanks for this video! I'm looking at the MM6, a Yamaha DGX530 and a Yamaha SY-55 Synthesizer. They're all the same price (used). Lifelong guitarist but took 5 years of piano lesson as a kid. I want great piano, organ (B3) sounds and the occasional Jan Hammer solo. What do you think?
