"Now all you need is like, like a beat like... UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ -- and then you gonna make a lot of money!" Bert Smorenburg is instant entertainment. He should do demos for every synth & keyboard ever, seriously.
Well... this guy certainly knows how to play this bit of kit. I love his enthusiasm, when someone imparts that much energy, I can't help but be inspired. Nice sales job !!!
J’ai acheté mon motif rack en voyant cette vidéo. Et quand je l’ai revendu j’ai également montré Cette vidéo aux acheteurs…imparable ! Faut dire que le mec assure et il connaît bien la machine Qui est quand même un bon produit.
1:33 George Michael - I can't make you love me. 1:41 Grover Washington Jr. - Just the Two of Us (feat. Bill Withers)? 2:10 Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water 2:38 Ludwig Van Beethoven's 5th Symphony
I completely concur. One thing that is somewhat deceptive about the above video is that this guy can really play, especially with sounding like other instruments. Analog synths have something that these rompler synths can never have, truly open sound engine and filters rather than frozen waves that are mathematically limited and simply loop. Analog synths are not limited and literally have infite possibilities of unique waveforms. The converters on these modern things are outrageoulsy detailed.
Always a great demo.. I bought a motif xf because this guy is truly great...But now Rd800/Roland simply cause I'm a piano player only....Its hard to get great piano sounds out of a synthesizer or great synthesizer sounds out of piano....The Yamaha Motif line comes closer than any as far as Piano+Synthesizer sounds!!!!!!! #hammond sk1 ' Rd800 Roland ' korg m50/88
I own Montage, ProphetX, Iridium, Hydrasynth, Wavestate, Modwave, Nord Wave, Nord Electro, Integra7, JupiterX, Pro3, Minilogue XD, Argon8, Cobalt8.... ... but still, I feel like I need this Motif after watching this video... I suppose this guy could build an empire selling sand in Sahara !!! :D :D :D
The USB connection is for the PC, but the MIDI connector will work with anything that has a MIDI connector of its own. Any control keyboard on the market will do, for that matter.
Christophe Nutto I know your comment is from years back. if you haven't found it yet, the song at 2:54 is Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto
Motif-Rack is a very good machine. With a good keyboard it makes a good studio gear. Classic Motif (w/keyboard) hasn't MegaVoices, but in Motif-Rack I heard it. Does the Motif Rack have MegaVoice technology?
Ah NOW..... Brecker Brothers to start..... excellent choice..... ! Question.... I have a Motif 7 - yeah I know - really old...! But I am looking for a rack version so XF or XS.....? Thanks....
You are a great salesman.. LOL loved what you did.. one question.. if you have two key boards, does it work and connect to both and work on both at the same time?
This is a nice single sound rack, but if you want to use it for multi skip it and get the Motif ES, the original Motif Rack has horrible midi timing problems.
@ovallesfilmcomposer7 yup, original Motif has midi timing problems.. the ES sorted this out. as well as many more things.. ES is the one to have, if you got the £$ then go XS rack :)
Not sure what he's running the Synth thru, but mine is plugged in right now, and side by side sound comparisom does not sound near as smooth/compressed/spacial as this demo. ?????????
since this is a demo vid by yamaha you bet your arse there's a full mastering on the entire audio for the vid, itll be as deep and glossy as they could get
I bought the Motif Rack ES fifteen years because of Bert. Guy is a legend.
This guy is such an amazing pitchman, I feel like if I don't buy one of these right now, I might die soon.
Underrated comments 🤣😂🤣
I remember seeing this guy as a kid, demoing the Moif XS I think.
Never wanted a keyboard so bad in my life, and I'm a bass player.

Its still an amazing sound module,15 Years later.
I own one myself :-)
looking to get one. looks perfect, even has many outputs
Well... this guy certainly knows how to play this bit of kit.

Nice sales job !!!
“Great, aggressive arpeggiator, the only thing you need is a beat and you'll gonna make a lot of money” 😂
I created the audition phrases in this rack when i worked at yamaha - but never got around to buying one😅
"...now all you need is a pump pump pump pump, and you'll make a lot of money" hahahaha
The best demo i've seen for the Motif Rack. now I'm gonna order one.!!!
"The only thing you need now is a beat, like an 'UHm-tss-UHm-tss-UHM-tss-UHM-tss!'"
That made my day.
I just bought one and he makes me feel like I should be buying another.
lol ;-)
6 years later and you still made me laugh out loud.

Mannnnnnn, my dude is HYPE asf... LOL
Oh, I like how this guy demonstratesed the synths)) I remember when I discover him on YT for the first time =)
'All you need is a beat - then you're going to make a lot of money'

This guy is funny
Bert, the guy who made almost the whole humanity buy an MM6
fun fact: This was used in the Mii Channel on the Wii. Particularly the Electric Piano and Violins.

You also cannot hide from a German 😂😂😂… greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
"Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence" from Ryuichi Sakamoto

Thank you for this
I heard he sold a double bed to the Pope!!
this review was amazing, im so pumped
Is everything possible with this machine? Yes, everything is possible! It'll even whiten your teeth while you sleep!
"make a lot of money" at 3:14
+Dian Nebula "UNGHS! UNGHS! UNGHS!" Priceless... I love this guy ^-^
He Said he made a lot of money... (most likely)
That pantomiming a guitar player sticking a wire into their amp killed me
Salve, belli questi suoni vorrei sapere il primo brass che suoni quale suono è? Grazie 🎹
Bert using "I Can't Make You Love Me" and the theme from "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" seals the deal.
This man is a boss.
If he goes with Yamaha to a international brand exhibition he can sold all. Hahaha. 🤣🤣👏👏
I'm really hyped to buy those backdrop curtains wooooo
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence 💫
I feel the skin shaking! Very emotional😘
Great job on demonstrating.I play around with those keyboards in music stores hehe.
1:33 George Michael - I can't make you love me.
1:41 Grover Washington Jr. - Just the Two of Us (feat. Bill Withers)?

How does it interface is what I was looking for. I found one around here for four bills and am thinking of buying it.
I like the demos he shows, they make you want to buy this even though its only the motif and not ES.....i am interested! I have never owned a motif
Always a great demo..

Cooper of Navarone I COULDN'T REMEMBER THE NAME. THANK U SO MUCH
Let me get you another cup of coffee.
Is posible connect a midi keyboard controller + a midi buttons for select sounds quickly?
@ripsta1995 The Song is called "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" by Ryuichi Sakamoto taken from the OST of the film with the same name.
Motif-Rack is a very good machine. With a good keyboard it makes a good studio gear.
Classic Motif (w/keyboard) hasn't MegaVoices, but in Motif-Rack I heard it. Does the Motif Rack have MegaVoice technology?
Ah NOW..... Brecker Brothers to start..... excellent choice..... ! Question.... I have a Motif 7 - yeah I know - really old...! But I am looking for a rack version so XF or XS.....? Thanks....
I love the start, could you tell me which song/album it is from the brecker brothers ?
Great Demo
You are a great salesman.. LOL loved what you did.. one question.. if you have two key boards, does it work and connect to both and work on both at the same time?
This is a nice single sound rack, but if you want to use it for multi skip it and get the Motif ES, the original Motif Rack has horrible midi timing problems.
+looneyburgmusic
Yep, even after getting a lot of complaints and issuing an update, Yamaha was never able to fix the problem in the original model.
+YouzTube99 Yeah, I can't not understand how that trainwreck got by Yamaha QC before release.
@ovallesfilmcomposer7 yup, original Motif has midi timing problems.. the ES sorted this out. as well as many more things.. ES is the one to have, if you got the £$ then go XS rack :)
Motif wreck?
What I want to know is where did you get that rack stand!!!!!!!? I need one!
Does this Also record like the motif Six keyboard? Can I create my own demo song with this and how?
Where can i find one of these to buy in 2023?
Bert is the KING!!
The lead theme from Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto.

I freakin love this guy!
I think this guy has a cocaine problem. HAHA!
.....All kidding aside, it was a fun video. I love my Motif rack.
@ovallesfilmcomposer7 actually your es rack is the better than the motif classic rack. It came out later after the motif es.
@ovallesfilmcomposer7 actually your es rack is the better than the motif classir rack. It came out later after the motif es.
I imagine this guy could get any women in the bar and sell ice to an Eskimo all in the same day.
"I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt. What was the electric piano song?
What is the stand his motif rack is attached to? And where can you get them from?
