Shine on you Crazy Diamond on Yamaha Motif XS

[danymite]

Great cover mate. Great job. Excellent sounds on the Motif XS. Keep up the good work.

[rtc5884]

awesome job man! it sounds great!

[jaguar65100]

Dude, Awesome job!

[markoVTX]

Good job fella, well done.

[Morgagnpe]

oh man, fabulous job!

[Norocmorth]

you put david gilmour in the tags but not rick wright david mason or roger waters?

[zikerstu2]

Nice!-What-organ-voice-did-you­-use?-It's-pretty-sweet!

[fendermaestro]

Prefer this ..hands down..over the Kurzweil thing.

Its more than good enough....its killer.

Warmer & much more realistic (congrats...great cover)

[jimmyfern10]

The more I hear you play it the more I like it well done man I give it to you all the best from Melbourne, Australia...........(:

[jimmyfern10]

Well pay man........

[amaynez23]

This is great, but I agree with some of the comments, the lead synth sound at the intro is not good enough out of the Motif, thats why I play it with both the Motif and an Access Virus TI, it sounds like the real thing. Otherwise, great job!

[SnakeBlissgen]

Its a very nice cover...great

[JoseMari41]

It is a Xs 6,7 or 8???

[beefyboy09]

cant beat either a korg m3 or the flagship korg oasis best ever sounds ever puts motive to shame

[mikak3607]

sorry man, the yamaha motif is just not good enough for the lead synth. its too cold and sounds not realistic. i prefer a kurzweil more than this thing

[oysterlovers]

@mikak3607 I think the motif is good enough - I was just lazy and used a preset - you can tweak everything on it

[CizaEnjoyIt]

@oysterlovers true true - i made the same sound as pink floyd on Yamaha MM6 which also uses MOTIF sounds

[TheAleksMichel]

@mikak3607 this motif alot of very good and famous artists use it on stage...its not for nothing^^ just have to take time to do your right settings and it will sound good

[JustinC721]

@mikak3607 haters gonna hate man

[O0Salmon0O]

@mikak3607 It is not the Motif. It is the voice that has not been dialed in properly to match that used in the song. The Motif could get much closer though just how close has yet to be demonstrated. I have heard Kurzweil K2000 series missing the mark as well. Jon Carin actually improved on Richard Wright's voices so it is a matter of fine tuning.

[robbiewex]

Yea, vocals not the best, but how can anyone criticize an artist like you!?!

[whereangelsplay1]

superb! how long that take u?

[BIGMIKEBXNY]

wow u the man!

[deadheadmiff510]

Awesome!!!!

[klau333]

geniale.. mi arriva oggi la motif xs 7.. sentire questa cover suonata completamente con la motif mi fa apprezzare ancora di più l'acquisto che sto per fare..:) grande.. bravissimo

[jimbojasper]

Your vocals are fine,,really nice job on everything else. You should be a motif salesman, you sure show how versatile it is. Kudos.

[SirRoyRogers]

I have a Motif XS6.The guitars and sax sound so real..

Can you tell me the programs you use to play the guitars and sax?

Thanks in advance.

[Sonarius1]

5 * * * * * EXCELLENT!!

[SirRoyRogers]

Do you play the guitar lead and saxo with the XS?

[oysterlovers]

@SirRoyRogers Yes, everything is from the XS

[SirRoyRogers]

I have a Motif XS6.The guitars and sax sound so real..

Can you tell me the programs you use to play the guitars and sax?

Thanks in advance.

[SirRoyRogers]

Very good.

Do you play the guitar lead and saxo with Motif XS presets?

I work with a XS6 and I´m very interesting.

Good job!

[realguy640]

Guys, this is not meant to be a BAND - quit being idiots! He's showing you how the song would sound played all on the motif - it's AWESOME - and the parts originally for the organ and synth lead are RIGHT ON and PLAYED right on! I've owned the Korg M1 and An1x, great boards, but I have hever heard the groovy Floyd synth moog type lead on ANY keyboard except this. Check out his other stuff - killer house /hip hop leads and chops, groovy funk synth, and killer hammond!!!! Guys enjoy the music!

[zikerstu]

Pretty sweet! Maybe a touch much of portamento on the synth. Love Pink Floyd!

[runkert]

only thing i can complain about is the attack on the intro solo... it's more of a slow-attack "bweeeooww" kind of sound.

[b00bideeb00b]

Very helpful!  Awesome job.

[audiocristal]

Man,thanks a lot for taking all the time to do this video,it was so fun,and it is respectful to the Floyd,please,can you tell me wich presets did you use (the pad at the intro is just great)

[Michal812]

beautiful.:)

[lasoniarideout]

Dude, you take too long to get going. The intro is putting me in a coma. I would have liked to hear a better choice of song. That really show off the capability of the great Motif xs.

[whitedolls]

What key or chord are you holding for the beginning sound? Just before you start playing on the video?..... Good Job btw and thanks for posting in such close up that beginner Piano players like me can learn from it.

[oysterlovers]

Thanks - Gm all across the keyboard

[Arturdg1bk]

It sounds amazing!

[pemilord]

I love this song always hear ... for all time, bravo

[pemilord]

I love this song always hear ... for all time, bravo

[brofjw]

I really like your whole orchestration and rendition of it. You play very contemplatively. And your voice ain't really that bad for a guy screwing around in hi living room or whatever. But the fact is...I really HATE your synthesizer! I would never buy one of those Motifs. :-)

[Domopig444]

who the fuck are you, a music producer?

is it not good enough for you? The fuckin Motif?prickerstein?

[Rozq87]

Lol that solo on the guitar^^ sounds even better than guitar itself lol

[kickcableguyinnuts]

not even close to dave gilmour running that strat through a cranked hiwatt......its good for a keyboard though

[gifu1960]

It's fantastatic; I loved it, I could listen to it all day.

[Santana123Joe]

it's a great cover

[spookidy]

I did the intro on my M-audio Axiom-61, with Reason 4.0, Made my own sounds... check it out.

[Fangscream]

I hated everything before 1:00 , but then it got awesome :)

It's a good thing that I actually had the patience :)

[telsport]

amen.

[jeevespreston]

Thanks for the great vid! I had a blast researching the patches and finding the right ones to use....

J

[MrEdmund1964]

Hello,

great song.

Could you please show me how can I play that song also on my XS 7?

I cannot find the right voices and I don't know the notes.

Edmund

[mysticradio]

how many notes in the Gm chord...... all the way across the keyboard?

[smelliot95]

People always do this differently to the original. The original (on wywh) is a simple Gm triad in hammond organ (or some other kind of mellow sounding chordal thingy) and one moving note in the strings pad. I Think Rick started to do a full sounding string section from DSOT onwards

[UFOBoy99]

i like it but it would be better with the second guitar part and a bass part

[papcyrill]

hey dude,,i am thinking about this babe yamaha motif sx,,i want it very much,,but now i have another option korg m3,,what you think?

[lituanoz]

Hello my friend, check my videos (click on my nickname), I have uploaded a live version of "shine on", I hope you enjoy it!

[MichaelJHuman]

Aftertouch for the vibrato?

[Maskerin]

Blade Runner's Theme by Vangelis?

[Agenor333]

oyster --> FGTH ???

Just impossible!

[Agenor333]

The string pad isn't bad at all, but the horn lead is ridiculous. The filter opening... The guitar shows too much itself so that it sounds like a variety tune. Can be enhanced quickly with minor adjustements.

[oysterlovers]

So the vocals are ok then ? ;D

[Agenor333]

As a first wind,it's truly remarkable! Goes on!!!

I'll be there...

[Agenor333]

Spectrasonics therapy perhaps, or the Irish pearls (Irish Women) maybe.

You sing very very (i insist) very well, in tone & tune, but it laks punch, do sport and be yourself!

Here in Europe, we're all awaiting for a new... wave...

DP, PK, beatles, where do u come frome????

Where is the pop? A renew asap NOW!!!

See u soon, my criticism for ur enhancement...

Fab.

[jfavignano]

Not bad at all! I really enjoyed it. Vocals aren't bad either.

[curramaru]

bravo

[BIGMIKEBXNY]

WOW AWESOME!!! NICE STYLE

[MotifXSUser]

hallo

I look for this organ/string sound in the intro on my XS but.... I cannot find him. please can you say me which sound this is? is it a preset or a user sound?

[omarmorek]

There is a preset appropriately titled "Shine On".

[MotifXSUser]

Sorry....but I cant find this preset?

Where can i find this USR1/2/3 or Preset 1 to 6?

[omarmorek]

It's PRE4 D12 on my S90ES, but it's probably different on the XS. You can find it under "Synth Pad / Choir" if you browse by categories.

[MotifXSUser]

Sorry but i have the data list from the S90 here but there are only 3 Preset banks not 4. And on the Motif XS there is no Preset with the Name "Shine ON" not in the voices and not in the performances.

[oysterlovers]

When I did this video I used different sounds - I think I used the Medium large section PRE 4 A15 for the strings, and Progressy PRE 1 F12 for the organ. I could be wrong , because I made the video a long time ago and can't remember the sounds I used ! The synth sound is Feeling PRE 5 D02. I might have also used underlying synth strings as well - hope this helps - There is definitely no patch called Shine On on the Motif XS presets

[MotifXSUser]

thank you for the answer but the presets are so not correct, but its now not a problem for me.

I have edit a voice with an church organ and string sound and now its playing good.

The original sound from this pad can you find by the "Quasimidi Quasar" and the sound calls itself there "Shine ON".

sorry for my english...this is not so good. I can speak better than germany ;-)

[attapattapie]

love it! what would you charge for a mix without drums and vox? or with out drums? trying to learn vocals and drums.

thanks

[oysterlovers]

cheers - i'll send you a mix via email

[keanesey]

Excellent very well done....Good job!

[Darryld1]

very very very good. loved it. another youtube member is going to record just the synth part for me to play guitar over. thanks for posting.

[xesionprince]

Great rendition, I have this amazing instrument, but after 6 months, I'm still learning to get to grips with it

[ganseibol]

great !!!!!

[ttothep27]

nice job sounds just like the original

[kamczak89]

you must be joking!

[wicosni]

thats to be proud of!!

its like the original, and i know it is not easy!!!

thx

[MotifXSUser]

please...can you call me all the sounds you have used here by the xs (User or Presets with the number )

thank you

[dmb8686]

Twas good. I gotta ask you somthin though. How the hell do you do the swirly thing on the organ. whenever i try it it sounds awful. I really wanna know how to d it. if you cold explain it to me i would be extreemly grateful. thanks. Dave

[oysterlovers]

the swirly thing? haha - what do you mean exactly? do you mean the leslie speaker effect? or when you go all up the keyboard hitting every key? The best way to do the second thing is to keep your foot on the sustain pedal (for an organ sound) and then release it at the point where you get to the intended note / chord. And don't do it too slowly or it will sound pretty bad. If you mean the leslie speaker effect then it's best to take the leslie completely or nearly off just before adding it

[dmb8686]

i have a leslie effect. i mean the second one. rick wright always does it. the thing where you go up and down then stop on a note whenever i do it., even usin the pedal al the notes just mix and its horrible. does it have to be one kind of organ sound? i have no idea how to do it haha.

[dmb8686]

also does it have somthing to do with the decay time of the organ or anything ? thanks

[oysterlovers]

no it has nothing to do with the decay, because there is no decay on this organ sound - try doing it with a bit of distortion when you do it - that should mask any cheesy organ sounding notes - apart from that i don't know - and do it with your thumb not your finger (although that shoudn't really matter it means your hitting 2 or 3 notes at the same time as opposed to one at a time)

[rabbit94]

thank you very much!

[rabbit94]

what preset of motif XS do you use for the strings of the intro?

[oysterlovers]

I can't remember sorry, but it's one of the big string patches with the octave down

[Grambambuli]

great performance!

[punk839]

wow amazing!

[charliedip]

Good job, this song is one of my favorites to play on guitar.

[jonrulzutube]

best piano playing i ever heard!

[ronaldjenkees]

too bad the video was out of sync but I've had that problem too. anywho, this is a really cool thing you've done with the motif. great job, I'll bet this was a fun project!!

[oysterlovers]

thanks a lot - by the way i love your videos

[thefaker10]

IMO the vocals were good... I'm not a good singer but it sounds like you have really good pitch, keep it up

[SLIPPYANDY]

spot on work man i really enjoyed listening to it

[danyj1]

why does your playing not match the timing ?

[oysterlovers]

yeah i know - i recorded the sound through the computer and tried to match it up with the digital camera - it was ok until i unloaded it up to youtube, when it went slightly out of sync

[Gwyo]

Nice try, oyster... but some of us can tell this isn't quite the truth ;-)

[oysterlovers]

Actually you're right - I am kind of telling the truth - what happened was I recorded the song from scratch, and then went back and did the video with my keyboard on mute to try and recreate the notes - so that's why it's out of sync - coz sometimes i got it wrong ! and also it didn't sync exactly - but it is me i swear !

[tdg911]

Man thats so nice. Makes me want to pack my XS8 back in the box. Very nice.

[jorudb]

which organ's preset do you use in this video???

[Halunlimited]

Amazing and inspiring. Did you add recording layers to that or are some pre-recorded movements that came with the keyboard? Either way, it sounds fantastic and offers me something to shoot for.

[oysterlovers]

hey thanks - no i did everything from scratch - the problem was how to make a video from it

[djeikop]

Hey man! Great work, loved it! Are all sounds heard from the Yamaha Motif?

[oysterlovers]

thanks a lot - yeah - everything is from the Motif

[blindfaith85]

Hi which sound(s) did you use? im cause gonna get a mo6 today and really love this!

[bajacapt]

Excellent! Thank you man :) 5 starts from me, awesome playing in an awesome keyboard... keep the Floyd coming!

[BrokenChair88]

Pink Floyd wrote "Dogs".
