Jens Skwirblies and the Yamaha S90 ES

[harlanjroberts]

I have one and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!=)

[fishybishbash]

Skwirblies. Awesome name

[Tylerclaymorgan]

And*

[Tylerclaymorgan]

Get the yamaha MO8 seriously, its a whole lot better, upgraded sounds,vans the interface is the same. Just sayin ;-)

[Bluechilliband]

I want it ! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaa

[maddermofo]

I rather Burt Smorenburg

[moronslave]

what kind of speakers should one use to hear the good sound it offers?

[MrWilsonnovaes2005]

want a real piano? It has to be roland xf Motif 8. Now that's piano.

[docnanomusic]

Love love love this keyboard. It has better, more expressive piano sounds than instruments costing twice as much (sustain is amazing).  Composing is so much easier with a beautiful piano sound. Lots of other great voices, too, though there are some duds (brass and strings are crummy).

The piano feel is pretty convincing too, though the action is even a bit on the heavy side and does not vary across the keyboard. Little LCD interface is the only really annoying thing. Highly recommended!

[Talesoffan1]

wtf anybody here play Ragnarok online? if so anything seem VERY similar when he plays the mega voice part

[drummerevo316]

i have a yamaha s90es and i like it but i have a question. when you turn on the piano it is in multi mode and on the screen it says wide river. how can i change the setting so when i turn on the piano it appers in voice mode.

[prodigio1978]

S90ES the best synth!!!! Have the best piano sounds in the world

[SZYBKIErece]

@prodigio1978 Yes only piano, but nothing else....

[prodigio1978]

@SZYBKIErece No no no... have the greatest sounds on the board always actual

[soulbeachlive]

@SZYBKIErece

Other sounds are great too...Depends on your own capability to edit and set up...We have the machine on stage for years and use it for ust about everything. Even dance with raw, dirty, filtered sounds...Check our youtube: it's a live recording, no backing tracks and all synth sounds come from the S90ES...

[Dadee3]

@prodigio1978 WOW you are retarded WOW yes!!!

[Josephandalice]

How many songs does the usb stick allow?

[LittleTokyoOff]

@Josephandalice however much the stick holds ex: 8gigs then you can have 8 gigs of midi files on there. I work with a 2 gig because midi files are usually about a tenth of a meg or just about 100 kb.

[PathOfTheWolf]

OMG im sold ! defently getting thisone :)

[zinc4life]

@PathOfTheWolf you stupid, get the motif

[nate11star]

why always the piano players are so soft and gayish?... Look at the guitar players, they're badass... but keyboards players?...nah...really gay.......XD

(of course this a joke) XDXD

[malukalili]

muito bom o som do piano!

mas esse cara falando me dá sono....

[simon4tw]

Is $1000 a good deal for a used S90ES in mint condition?

[nathanmickle]

@simon4tw

That is an amazing deal. I'd buy it.

[simon4tw]

@nathanmickle Lol yeah. I email the guy a month ago, no replie, and the ad is still there, cant post link wtf

[Fsdrak]

@simon4tw very good sir

[arnolincho]

c est super nul

[bigshaq12]

ALL THE XS synthesizers SUCK!!!

[Cryosithify]

the thing is when you make a tutorial make sure people can understand the guy because i cant understand this guy

[danielevansofficial]

I wanted to get teh new s90xs but i keep reading the old oiani in the es is better?? is this true? I want it mainly for piano and i have a motif rack so do i need the xs?

[modnarm]

why do u guys think this is better than the 90xs? details are appreciated. The Motif XS is sweet and i kinda liked the XS piano better than the ES. When the 90xs came out i was super pumped, but i've read from a few sources that people prefer the ES. why so.

[Ginoegiuliano]

I love s90es.... not s90xs... yamaha must read the wishlist in lover forums before sell new products... ok?

[acetatostereo]

what´s the difference? I want to buy one :)

[polarbear60]

It's good that they read it :)

[Dadee3]

its the same thing, even better, only thing the es90 has better is lo0ks

[nokolicious]

@Ginoegiuliano Why is the S90ES better than the S90XS? If any thing, you would have to base your argument on the user interface difference between the 2. Other than that, I can't see why the S90ES is better than the S90XS since the XS has almost everything from the Motif XS, except the sequencer offcourse, which I feel CUbase AI4 makes up for, and so far the motif XS is the best keyboard on the market. So please explain a bit more.

[Jazz19891989]

The s90es is way better than the new s90xs of s70xs :S..

[eysikal]

Yeah? How so?

[Ginoegiuliano]

is true!!!!

S90es is better than it!!!!

VERY VERY GOOD S90ES!!!! WOOOOOOOW!!!!!

[eysikal]

Someone make a comment with substance about how the ES is better please.

[risuku2002]

agree~ the s90es has more effects and appegios

and its cheaper~ it is the best time to get the ES now coz the XS just come out and ES 's price just dropped! i just got one :)

[HammondB200]

why

[JD95]

I haven't heard the sound of the new xs but right off the bat, the design... es is so much better..

[MrJackanthony]

@Jazz19891989 Why is that?

[locofresh101]

This the mother of motif.... its just the old version comparing the motif and the s90 es its like the same just if u got good ears you'll hear the modulation in it...motif is just compressed or should i say better eq or voice setting in there... but trust me its great.... close your eyes and its like playing the motif xs...

[locofresh101]

this keyboard has it all its just the old(like the mother of the motif) the motif is just like compressed or better eq sounded... trust me on this it has everything (the mother of motif and yamaha...

[reservedacosby]

3:58 = Take that, you soundtrack to an old NES game! But seriously, Yamaha has the best keyboards.

[philipbiro]

@reservedacosby Roland all the way.

[squeakD]

Great vid, but he's WRONG about what he said regarding where the Mega Voice tech comes from. It DOESN'T come from the Motif ES. I don't know if Yamaha tells their reps to skip over the truth about where mega voices are from, but they're NOT from Yammies synth line. Mega Voices were introduced with the original Yamaha Tyros (One of Yamaha's Pro Arranger Keyboards). Yamaha carried this this tech over to the Motif line from the arranger line (as well as other PSR voices too) and changed the names.

[VladtheEmailer]

Incredible keyboard~! Great musician! Corny music.

[beethovenmetalhead]

i actualy like this one more then the motif xs

s90 es is for people who want cool professional instrument but they dont whant to give a lot of money for a keyboard. i would never give more then 2000$ for a keyboard (if im not a pro)

[tushar310]

it doesnt have speakers inbuilt?

[pagmeabag]

they don't have inbuilt speakers

[turkmentari]

Why don't Yamaha integrate these quality piano samples into Motif XS??

Motif has more than this keyboard except for the killer pianos of it.. : (

[jwalrath69]

Yamaha made the piano samples available for the Motif XS8 in the Loyalty Sample pack.

[officialpantheon]

Anybody know what song he's playing in the intro?

[DragonsSpirit]

Comment does not appear, so I repeat it...

The song is called Summerdance or so, it his. Hes been my teacher for years so i know him and love him^^ would like to start lessons again...As far as i know, you wont find summerdance anywhere on the web....shit happens.

long live jens

and yamaha

DS

[chemixxer]

this is my dream keyboard !!

[zaj58]

Does anyone know if they are going to make an S90XS. i am thinking about buying this board but i feel the newer generation of this ax is right around the corner.does any one have any facts?

[jurenovakjure]

You can easly buy this s90 digital piano...if u want some motif buy yamaha motif RACK,and if u combine this, it`s better than Yamaha Motif Xs8, belive me,and use cubase program or fruityloops...

[Brandotuomikoski]

i was messin around witht this keyboard at school. omg it is very cool. great guitar and synth sounds. Fun to play. highly recomended piano. i also played the schools korg trinton extreame, and this is much better,

[jenius92000]

are the s90 and motif's engines identical (without the sequencer)?

[waynegacy666]

Yup, but the S90 has better pianos and it's more focused on live playing. The Motif is a full workstation.

[Dadee3]

I wouldnt say BETTER than the motifs piano sounds c'mon now, equal yes but better!?

[MarkusKusche]

hi,

yes, the pianos are better bcause the motif es8 does not simulate damper resonance and even does not accept the fc3 half-pedal function.

[ahngoesvoyage]

Yes better..It's all the same or equal quality/amount of sounds with a much better piano. Only Synthology Ivory comes close to this piano sound. I've listened to every digital/hardware piano that is halfway realistic and those two are the best. Other buy a Kurzwiel, Yamaha or some Borsendorfer depending on your favorite sound. I like a worn in Yamaha C7. Peace, Ahngoe Adam

[hariel]

Looks like this is better than the motif es. I don't like bulit in seqs...

[waynegacy666]

It's better for live playing and for peoople who likes Counterweighted keys. It has a sequencer

I prefer this one because I use software DAWs,

[misterriddlez]

do the new software programs work for the original s90?

[VSTiModule]

The best thing is that YAMAHA are 100% compatible with STEINBERG software products ! So if you ever need( because that one have a lot of sounds )you can plug it to Steinberg HYPERSONIC VST-i, it also have those "slide sound" tricks with acoustic guitar. Domo arigato gozaimasu Yamaha :DD

[Musician131]

I just traded in my MO8 for the S90 ES. The S90 is much more professional. It is way better as a performance stage piano. It doesnt have the built in sequencer...but thats what a computer is for.

[DUNNITHA]

que tiene de diferente contra el mo8? solo el color?

what have the s90 es diferent vs the mo8? just the color?

[Kurzland]

El MO8 es una teclado menor que el ES8. Y el s90ES es igual que ES8.

Ve a yamahasynth(Dot)com.

[ChibiWargy]

Es bien sencillo: este es un teclado de live, con un sintetizador recortado y sin secuenciador de serie, pero con mas samples acusticos y teclas contrapesadas. el MO8 es mas de estudio ;)

[remicornelissen]

Who can send me the style (or as a multipad) Jens is using at 2:52min while he is playing the megavoice guitar solo for Yamaha Tyros (1)? I don't have anything similar on my Tyros, but i like it, so who can help me? Send me a PM. Thanks a lot!

[remicornelissen]

Who can send me the style (or as a multipad) this man is using on 2:52min with the megavoice guitar solo for Yamaha Tyros (1)?

[CKnoxW]

He wants to be Elton John.

[rockitman150]

Don't be so stupid!. Elton John has to read an autocue when plying live. lol

[bsr2002]

The S90 ES of course...but also depends on your needs. I believe the S90 is Superior.

[Kilhos159]

What is the best keyboard? Yamaha S90 ES or MO8? please answer thank you very much

[jphuuskon]

They aren't exactly comparable. The S-series are aimed at pianists and peformers while the MO6 and 8 are designed with the needs of electronic musicians and studio production in mind. It depends on what you need, really.

[sheebshag]

S90 ES is designed for both. It's their best combination of piano and synth.

[reclaimer176]

Anybody know when the next generation of this keyboard is coming out??? I've heard sometime in June, but I'm not sure... Anybody give me a hand with this question plz, I appreciate it. Thanks in Advance.

[reclaimer176]

Anybody know when the new generation of this keyboard is coming out? I was going to buy this one.. but now I think I am going to wait for the new one.. please send me a message, it's important to me! Thanks in Advance!

[piknikie]

I have this identical keyboard. Roland Fantom S88 on the blink so, I got this one from MFriend. EVEN after reading the manual, I cannot figure out how to play 2 voices simultaneously - he says it's "simple" - show us what buttons your engaging. Would like to play 2 voices WITHOUT overwriting any presets. I have spent HOURS and HOURS with this keyboard and I am EXTREMELY frustrated.

[mint25MD]

Does the FC3 foot pedal work with the ypg 625?

[akolma]

Hello. Can someone help me. I cant decide to buy new Yamaha MO 8 for 1400 EU, used Yamaha S90 ES for 1900 EU or used Yamaha ES 8 with price 1600 EU. Primary use would be live performance, studio secondary. What do you recomend? I also have seen video how to put ES sound base on MO 8, so than would be cheaper to buy MO. How is hammer technick on MO?

Sory for my bad English. Have a nice day.

[omarmorek]

I just bought one of these ... but it hasn't arrived yet!

[saigon04301975]

i would get yamaha s90es. the piano sounds awsome. i heard the new model isn coming out this summumer , somtimes in june. If you want to wait.

[wixlen44]

SORRY!

[jimbobtwo2]

"faggy"???, Exuse me...he is Dutch, and speaks German, French, ...in otherwords European....He is a highly accomplished musician who is also a spokeperson for Steinberg and Yamaha....You crack me up! However this keyboard is stunning... it rarely stays in stock...and amazingly has held its value over the past three years....that speaks of its demand. Have fun making music. Ciao

[gxrdx]

Actually, he's German, not Dutch, though I can see why you would think he was Dutch from the name and accent. Very good demo.

[jomarcavalcanti]

that keyboard is great but what a poor rep for it.. that guy sounds faggy..

[corndogers564]

Awesome sounding piano! I love Yamaha!

[TeklasOrion]

tiny screen

[lpcmidst128]

The piano sound is very realistic. Yamaha rocks.
