  • First thing's first. If you haven't yet seen it, check out our first video on the Yamaha Motif XF, a friendly, under-five-minute clip introducing some of the new sounds on the updated flagship workstation from Yamaha. When you're done with that, strap in for this epic demonstration of the Motif XF's workflow and new sequencer features.
    Don't worry, Yamaha rep Blake Angelos keeps the tone light, the pace breezy, and the licks tasty, making this 18:15-long video fly by as if it were a mere 16:35. We promise, it's worth it. Yu'll want to see the new user interface, sequencer worflow, integrated audio slicing, firewire connectivity and project sharing options in action-all standouts of this fantastic-sounding workstation.

    This was by far the best presentation I have seen of this board.

      seriously????? it is one of the WORST! they have come a long way since this "presentation": you can't see a single thing he is doing, since the screen is not being shown....many tutorials have followed where there is a inset view of the screen so that you can actually see what buttons he is pushing and selecting....for a newcomer that knows nothing about this keyboard, this video is worthless....

    I agree! That's the only reason why I haven't brought the Motif XF yet because as soon as I buy the Motif XF Yamaha will come out with a brand new workstation after I done had my Motif over a year.

    Brilliant video. This will be immensely helpful in getting to know my XF8 which is on its way via FedEx! I can't even sleep.

  • @alphasxsignal
    @alphasxsignal 11 лет назад +3

    I guess there are lots of us just waiting to see what will come out.
    Yamaha should know this and get something new out so they can take our money:)
    I sure would feel bad if I bought something and Bang, they come out with the new
    Power house. They should be, its been so long. Just have the ipad hooked on and etc
    is not enough. I guess we have to keep the faith.

    I agree with Steve I want to see what buttons your pushing.You were telling what buttons you were pushing but I like to see what your doing as well. I don't know how hard it would be to split screen this. Cool stuff though, definitely a fine keyboard.

  • @alphasxsignal
    @alphasxsignal 11 лет назад +1

    Wow that is alot of power. I sure wish they would bring out a new model so I could buy one and not worry about a new model coming out right after I buy one.

  • @COPESLANDmovemaKER

    it has its own sequencer. pattern mode is loop based composition where song mode is linear. its very good and easy to use

      gillette gift This is obviously not a tutorial showing which actual keys are press for what thanks to the poor camera work and extra fast movements of the teacher. Sad.

    The Sound quality the Yamaha Motif produces is terrific A very expensive tool. TIMBRE is a word used to describe sound. There`s a company known as Tall Grass Electronics that make magnetic cassette tapes. Cassette Tapes are magnetic and can be used to record your music if your a musician. Similar to a microphone. Microphones can pickup and record your music as you practice.

  • @undercrackers56
    @undercrackers56 Год назад +1

    It is a truly impressive keyboard instrument. I really wish someone would present a tutorial that properly focussed on how to do this stuff rather than showing off how well the presenter can play. Do Yamaha think that everyone who buys their keyboards are Jazz players?

  • @alphasxsignal
    @alphasxsignal 12 лет назад +3

    What I want to know is when is Yamaha going to bring out a new workstation.. I have the money
    but I want a new model before I buy.

  • @bairahrecordings
    @bairahrecordings 11 лет назад +2

    I would but the Korg Kronos X doesn't integrate to a DAW as good as the Motif XF does, because the Motif XF can send 16 channels of audio through firewire to DAW.

  • @danmcclerrenskylight
    @danmcclerrenskylight 6 лет назад +1

    I agree with you Steve but I realize this is a sales video primarily not that helpful in showing the steps. I could not be happier though that I bought this keyboard. It's awesome sounding like few other keyboards

  • @mproductionsmusik
    @mproductionsmusik 12 лет назад +1

    All your instruments (tracks) can be exported also separately to the USB Key?

  • @johngeralr580
    @johngeralr580 11 лет назад +2

    That's compensated by 16 aduio tracks in the sequencer and a VST plug-in for Kronos, though a Cubase/Sonar import. The Kronos is a better "workstation" overall & when it comes to analog modeling, the Kornos is in a totally different class than the Motif. The Kronos MOD-7 engine (great for "FM Synthesis) can directly load Yamaha DX7 SysEx libraries. I guess it all depends on what you're looking for. Both keyboards are great (& expensive) & have their pros/cons. Just research before you by. =D

      @dynamitekid8967 7 лет назад +1

      john geralr yup I agree with you on that! Korg is more user friendly, but the Motif is a great keyboard as well. you won't go wrong with either of them.

  • @DoubleRhonRhon
    @DoubleRhonRhon 12 лет назад +1

    of course it has one sequencer. 16 tracks, 8 tracks of these are available for insertion effects

  • @MrVizionary2012
    @MrVizionary2012 12 лет назад +2

    can the motif do tracking in the sense that is there a 1 stop function that tracks out each instrument as a wave file without soloing each one?

    I purchased an xf8. My first workstation although I've been a key player for many years. Is there any video that would teach me to use the workstation correctly. I got the video and book that came with it, but I really need something basic that moves slowly for a beginner. I haven't found anything and it's getting so frustrating. Please help. Thanks in advance!

    I sample a loop and sliced it. It does change with the tempo but is not completely on with the metronome. How do I get it sync to click?

    I've spent years making successful demos on a Yamaha SQ16.
    I need to change to a modern keyboard - but will this one do the things I want to do?
    I usually make a rhythm track on Band In A box - save it to a gm midi file - then edit the song on the SQ16.
    Can I do this on a Motif?

  • @opinionatorX
    @opinionatorX 11 лет назад +1

    Will the slice feature put any sample(break beat) loop to the midi clock?

  • @sabinealexander2773
    @sabinealexander2773 5 лет назад +1

    I bought mine in 2014 but after two years with very little use and without moving it from the place I put it in my house when I bought it it started to show some very serius problems. The touch buttons with the arrows only respond to up and down but when I try to go left or right they dont respond and this has made for the last three years my recordings impossible. I even spent allá the money in order to try to plug it to my iPad so I could make my recordings using garage band App but to make things worst the Yamaha motif xf sinthezisers seem to be about the only ones that need to be configured in order to be recignized by an iPad!!!!
    Therefore by not being able to move left or right on my screen I was never able to get my iPad to recognize my motif.
    I am frustrated and very dissappointed with this sinthesizer and I wiuld not recommend it to anyone.

    does the motif have its own sequencer. how would you be able to make a song on this thing. theres no videos where theres a track editor with this, anyone.

  • @carfanfan
    @carfanfan 7 лет назад

    Yeah, nice to add Audi files into track 16 but when you switch the keyboard off, you won't hear that audio again. Great keyboard but one of the lamest things about is you have spend huge bucks to add the flash memory, but it doesn't use the memory to recall any audio you load on it. The USB must be used. Dumb!
