keybdwizrd - Yamaha MOX6 Demo #1

[SWITCHSTRUMENTALS]

do u recommend this board for the money as ive seen a few people complaining about the build quality...im realy interested in gettin this

[keybdwizrd]

@SWITCHSTRUMENTALS Yes, I recommend it. I don't find anything wrong with the "build quality". It is an inexpensive and very lightweight synthesizer. For this price you are not going to get something build like an instrument that costs $3,000.

[SWITCHSTRUMENTALS]

@keybdwizrd yh i agree your always going to get people complaining...at the end of the day your paying for the sound....im going to go ahead n get one anyway ...thanks ;)

[JasminMusicHimself]

Great playing and sounds !!!

[keybdwizrd]

@JasminMusicHimself Thanks.

[MuzicTrax]

Thanks KeyboardWizard. What software do you use to create midi files with, or do you make them directly on the keyboard? Thanks.

You have some great review videos on different keyboards and play them professionally.

[keybdwizrd]

@MuzicTrax Thanks for the kind words. For MIDI sequencing (and audio recording) I use Digital Performer running on an iMac.

[MuzicTrax]

I use Band In a Box as my accompaniment software. Will the MOX 6 work in GM mode and play along with the midi channels being sent from Biab? Like a basic midi sequencer software like Cakewalk etc?

I sold my original Tyros and I am looking for a new Yamaha keyboard for the playback sounds and controller aspect of a keyboard.

I love the Yamaha midi patches and sounds they have created these past years. This video has me sold on the MOX 6 vs the MM6. Thanks.

[keybdwizrd]

@MuzicTrax I don't know for sure that the MOX specifically has GM mode, but it does have a GM bank of GM sounds. So yes, it can certainly be used to play back GM files. That being said, the General MIDI patch set makes up a miniscule fraction of what the MOX can do, sound-wise. And yes, the patch library in the MOX is much larger (and better) than what you'll find in the MM6.

[88omarz]

what speakers are you using in these demos?

[keybdwizrd]

@88omarz I don't use speakers. I run the keyboards direct into my Mac.

[blue89fox]

This keyboard sound was recorded direct on a PC?

[keybdwizrd]

@blue89fox It was recorded direct into my iMac.

[Konigsberg39]

Уровень синтезатора всегда определяю по звуку саксофона.И тут Yamaha далеко впереди.Я уж не говорю про Tyros и Motif.Roland и Korg нервно курят в сторонке.

[keybdwizrd]

@Konigsberg39 Да, саксофон здесь хорош. 

[denizenboy]

Fantastic Mike ... Believe it or not, I was first introduced to your genius via WebTV in 1996. They were my favorite background midis to surf with back in those days.

[keybdwizrd]

@denizenboy Wow!  That was a long time ago.

[denizenboy]

It was indeed Mike, but I was a WebTV subscriber right up until 2006, and although the system had changed hands (and the MIDI selections along with it), your sounds remained my preferred surfing tunes. In fact, I was so pleased to find your public zip files, I downloaded them all so I can enjoy them surfing with my computer. Thanks!

[lilmissmusic2012]

i could watch u play all day man. definately a new keyboard hero of mine. <3

[keybdwizrd]

@lilmissmusic2012 Thanks so much - glad you enjoy the videos.

[instrumentallife]

excellent demonstration,and good playing for each sound, the "angel eyes" it´s just amazing and beautiful!

[lifewasters]

Very nice demo-ing as usual. Does the MoX have microtuning? [1/4 note].

Thank you,

One of your friends from the synth forum:)

[stlflyguy]

Loved "Progressy"...very Emerson/Tarkus....

[MrMarkDell]

Thanks for your excellent sound demo's on this keyboard,

I am lookin to purchase one but unable to try it out locally so it has been a great help ! :-) , I currently have a Yamaha PSR3000 & Korg MicrokorgXL, but am looking to try & find 1 keyboard that fits the bill for me & also has a vocoder

This is looking like the one for me !, Thanks again ! ( If you get bored check my page out )

[malfunkt]

Your demos and performances are always inspiring. Thx

[keybdwizrd]

@malfunkt Thanks - my pleasure!

[vuthipon]

I really loved your playing technics and demo. Keep on.

[keybdwizrd]

@vuthipon Thanks for the encouragement, I appreciate it.

[keybdwizrd]

@iPadTex Mes vidéos démontrent les sons des instruments. D'autres ont fait des vidéos des fonctions, comme l'enregistreur. Peut-être à l'avenir je peux faire une vidéo qui montre le tambour et la percussion.

[iPadTex]

Bonsoir keybdwizrd,

C'est parfait avec toi pas de discution direct test des sons avec une petites ziks qui va avec et comme cela ont se rend bien compte de se que l'ont cherche sur une démo est bien ICI.

Merci Merci Merci...Tex

[keybdwizrd]

@iPadTex Merci. je suis content que vous avez apprécié les vidéos.

[chessdude67]

Very nice! Thumbs up.

[northernrob99]

Nice demo. awesome peice of kit :)

[BlacksmithVRS]

Well put dude, nice demo of this awesome kb. Are the songs pieces of yours for this demo, or just improvisation?

Cheers!

[keybdwizrd]

@BlacksmithVRS Thanks, these are mostly improvisations with a few bits of tunes thrown in (mostly mine with a couple of borrowings)...

[tpm6888]

Cool!!!

[babar141]

how r they keys like??????????also can you sample into it?

[keybdwizrd]

@babar141 I would say the keys are very good, but not great. The MOX is not a sampler.

[maidiremirko]

seems to sounding good. Could be interesting make a face-to-face comparison with the original XS, although I think that one has a more professional feeling.

[keybdwizrd]

@maidiremirko There is no doubt that the MOX is a less expensive, more portable keyboard. But it is a great way to get the XS sound library in a very affordable package.

[Xaxam]

Your demos always inspire me to go practice more. Thanks for sharing these.

[keybdwizrd]

@Xaxam Thanks - there are many other people who have inspired me!

[sparrowonthebeat]

you're a beast man. i wish i was this good on the keys.

[leohammondb3]

Wow! Excellent presentation. The sound is so superb.

[keybdwizrd]

@leohammondb3 Thanks - it is a nice sounding instrument.

[kingofkeyboards]

Great stuff Michael! :)

[keybdwizrd]

@kingofkeyboards Thanks. I've got a few more on the way. I love this keyboard.
