[Liquadia1]

how people can afford stuff like this is BEYOND me lol 2k nuts

[blacksheep806]

I want this!

[Wiesolator]

That's the goal I want to construct myself as MIDI-Device :)

[dirty1smelly1turban]

what do you guys think, is this good for a beginner? i mean i am a great pianist, and i know a good amount of things about making music using DAW's (ive used reason and fl studio) but i am completely new to hardware. how is this compared to say a good midi keyboard, an apc 40 and sampler like the mpc 5000/ maschine? and what are the different components of a music production studio? i know the following: synth, sampler, drum machine, sequencer, effects, mixer, midi keyboard & DAW.

[ducttaperulestheworl]

@dirty1smelly1turban

things are always hard at the beginning.

but once you got used to all the functions inside you'll find it as part of your body~

just like a piano, now you know each keys plays their own note

[21saint100]

O wonder if Jean michel jarre got this synth motif XF

[Djmikke2007]

[danteCM1]

fuck the asians can do anything!!!!!

[nokia3210fuck]

This synth sounds as bad as todays music !

[audioproducer88]

@nokia3210fuck LOL This synth is used for today's music!!!! lol

[nokia3210fuck]

@audioproducer88

I know.

That's why today's music sounds like plastic just like this synth does.

Try this with a XF:

youtube dot com/watch?v=L6p41HBn2ic

[audioproducer88]

@nokia3210fuck that's a great tool if u want your music to have that 70s retro vibe. youtube a music producer name Benny Blanco. He uses that type of vintage equipment for his productions. that's I'm what I'm doing as well for my work. I'm using outdated equipment.

[hard2start427]

I like the accordian sound

[neojunhao]

hmm i have one question so will about this XF have split or layer function like the yamaha s70xs and which one is better 70XS or this XF

[prototypep4]

@neojunhao Just get the Kronos from Korg. Has layering functions and can even assign sounds to keys. Much better sound quality and much more versatile and professional instrument.

[lijoabraham123]

wow!!!!!!!!!!

[JFrostz]

my dream set up.

Motif XF on the top

CP1 on the bottom (CP5 if i win lotto 649)

[androcci]

@JFrostz what is cp1?

[ModEcho]

[Excalibur741]

This Rep. plays so well, its like you know exactly his language...MOTIF Rocks !

[l0wbtry]

09:30 i was expecting the godfather theme.

[TheRigger77]

is depressed now i just seen the price of this thing :-(



[14bycicle]

are any of the three models (XF6, XF7, XF8) better than each other? or are they all the same?

[Vodje01]

@14bycicle the sounds and effects are all the same. the xf6 has 61 keys, the xf7 has 76 keys and the xf8 has 88 balanced hammered keys

[angelsnk28]

@14bycicle they're all the same, only the number of keys varies and the XF8 has heavy keys

[edcollante]

4:03 KLAVINETTO!

[joseggf1]

I dont know what hes talking about, but hes good

[Psychlist1972]

[joseggf1]

@Psychlist1972 thank you very much

[masterkuprij]

4:29, Hermoso Clavecín!

Gracias por la demostración, maestro!

[AnalogX1]

I like reading viewers' comments, but it's hard for me to take seriously the opinions of people who can barely spell, much less form legible sentences. It's not cute and it wastes everyone's time, especially when we have to decipher the majority of the post like foreign language specialists or detectives.

[Tempo2010]

@AnalogX1 "to take seriously the opinions" isnt correct grammer buddy try "to take serious" or "to seriously take"

[AnalogX1]

@Tempo2010 Thank you, Grammar Nazi. In the future, try adding an apostrophe in the word "isnt". Also, "grammar" isn't spelled with an "e". Furthermore, a comma should have been placed after "grammar", followed by a period after the word "buddy" (which probably should have been capitalized). The word "try" should have been capitalized since you were forming a new sentence, with a period placed at the end of the sentence. If I were you, I wouldn't correct others' grammar; work on your own.

[Tempo2010]

@AnalogX1 Wow Such a Fag...

[AnalogX1]

@Tempo2010 Wow, you botched your reply as well, Grammar Nazi, and you have the nerve to call me a fag ?

[randomvidz94]

Hey @AnalogX1 good job on showing @Tempo2010 how to use proper Grammar and Punctuation. Tempo2010 is one of those kids who probably never picks up a pen and tries to write something on his own. That's what happens when everything at school is computer based or multiple choices where no one gets to practice to write things on their own.

[farfanugenmaster]

holy shit i want to jam with this dude

[alphasxsignal]

How does XF compare to a Tyros 4?????????????

[uitloggen1]

@alphasxsignal Almost nothing, The only thing is that a XF is made for music production and a Tyros is made for live performance(i have a tyros 2 check my vids) Hope it helped you

[trucho6395]

can some body tell me wich one piano is beter the diferents of xs or xf and wich is beter oasis or xf

[sjcongo]

The msp5 are awesome !!!

[ozboaz]

@Juren4life did you not try the xf before you bought it? It's hard to take advice from a dumbass.

[JureN4life]

Motif suck, for real, i ve hot xs7 before now i got xf8... i will sell it as soon as i can, roland is sooooooooooooooooooooooosooooo­ooooooo much better, you cant even emagen untill u try it...BELIVE ME DONT BUY XF, FUCK ARPPEGGIOS, ROLANDS UPGRADES ARE SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[langeley]

4:45 what song is that please!

[chocolatemintinami]

これはヤバイｗｗｗ２８２８が止まらんｗｗｗ

毎回だけど楽しそうでこっちまでテンション上がってくるｗｗｗ

[berryganja]

hatori hanzo

[MusicJo3]

what an annoying key again.... cmon yamaha *rolleyes* it's always the same...

Guys theres no need to buy the new one, the old is even as good as this one.

With some tricks u can easily avoid the memory problems... but ok nvm.

To control cutoff reso and attack ...etc. und rly dont need to pay such an expensive one. Ever thought about playing with: PC/Notebook/Mac + interface + keys?

you will get a much better sound.

[ColdGripHandle]

don't need a special language to understand that this thing is the shit

jazz guitar @6:51 so good its funny

[TheJoyfulPianist]

this is what I've needed to see to convince to me to buy the xf8. Thank you!

[mossyburger]

yes! English translation!! thank you!! 

[jammingcats]

@mossyburger Click the "CC" icon under the Video and you get subtitles!

[jjvr1979]

Nice demo! I love the very first song.

[damiansax]

all yamaha key./or synt has realy good piano

[ebiflychan]

ごきげんにいいですね！

[medqua]

Wow, that intro sounded like a really pro psytrance tune!

[Wiktorion]

This man is SERIOUSLY good at the keys. Wow - just wow.

[kunleodebode]

The key advantage of a software based setup is you can start small, with a simple PC, keyboard controller, and with easily affordable freeware (see kvraudio.com) and grow your collection over time.

Option 3 - Workstations, and Digital Pianos/Organs are really for professional performing musicians who cannot afford to carry around heavy instruments like the keyboard giants (Hammond B3's, Rhodes and acoustic pianos). You lose a very small amount of ultimate sound quality but gain portability.

[kunleodebode]

Option 2, software instruments is probably the most cost effective, and as technology changes, probably protects your previous investments the most. However you will need to sift from the large number of substandard products that are published and constantly have to update software with patches, upgrades, and manage occasional incompatibilities, from the mix of products from disparate manufacturers. Unless you have invested in expensive products such as Muse Receptor, you lose portability.

[kunleodebode]

Of course to create a sound or a piece of music you could combine the various 3 approaches.

Option 1,. high end instruments, acoustic or electronic is the most expensive, but yields the highest quality of expression and authenticity and of course requires the highest investment, and takes a lifetime to achieve. - Think Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Greg Phillanganes

[kunleodebode]

3. A workstation such as a Motif or Fantom or Triton Extreme or the new Korg M3 or Korg Kronos. whose main advantages over the PC are the excellent support for automatically generated sequences/autoaccompaniment. i.e Instant gratification if that's what floats your boat.

[kunleodebode]

2. A top end software instrument - e.g products from Spectrasonics, or similar producers who never compromise on the quality (i.e no duff sounds). Unfortunately to build up a good collection of instruments, you will need to choose carefully from more than one supplier, as Spectrasonics alone may not have all the instrument sounds you need.

[kunleodebode]

As someone who has searched for a long while for an excellent keyboard, I conclude there are three choices.

1. An expensive acoustic or electro acoustic - rhodes, and expensive microphones and expensive recording environment and the chops (keyboard skills), which need natural talent, musical exposure, and a good teacher.

[Drajfovic]

Just tested the motif xf in the music store. Nice WS...however it seems quit cheap & anoying only to be able to buy "FW16E FIREWIRE EXPANSION IEEE1394 S-400 (393Mbit/s)" which is slower than USB2 (480 Mbit/s). Imagen that every Apple LapTop is now days supplyied with Firewire S-800. Is S-400(the stone age) enough? Do we need S-800?

I would say No & Yes..fuk'n..yes. Yamaha customers need a new Firewire Expansion supporting S-800 in motif xf. Simple as that!

[sommersmcc]

xf6- 5 oct keyboard

[007kiyro]

this old man has some skillz!!

[SBFKLICK]

Haha its great when he gets excited ;)

[prei94]

XF6 ??? XF 7??? XF 8???? Or What???

[SBFKLICK]

@prei94 The video is on the Motif XF What the hell does it matter if its the 6, 7, or 8. Its all the same in regards to sound. And further more, if you can't tell just by looking at it than what do you care.

[CaptainShinjuku]

freaking hardware porn >_<

love it!!

[rg2027x]

CLAVINETTO! :D

[KZ4USA]

Which do you like the best Fantom G8 or Motif XF8 and why?

Im thinking of buying either of the two.

[phronesys]

@KZ4USA i owned a motif es.. it was amaizing.. 1500 awesome preset sounds.. imagine a motif XF.. damn you should go for the yamaha..

[kreg001]

yeah! a real bad boy!

[xxjOeLaZoxx]

Es una maravilla!!

[ScreamingTubes]

...£2570 !! I think I will stick with my MOSS boarded and tricked out Triton Extreme...

[TechCrazy]

@SDProductions72 :She be a wise one.

[TechCrazy]

@SDProductions72 : Santa says its too heavy and expensive to get it into the chimney with it.

[ishmael1991]

Is this better than a XS?

[kreg001]

@ishmael1991 yes

[dopemcee]

say..how much one of these bad boyz cost?

[Eumusic1]

I wish for yamaha to make a portable Motif xf micro something like novation ultranova.With SDHC support.

That would be a great hit!

[epgloreus]

Will the xf sounds work in the xs?

[Coowallsky]

@epgloreus Typically the sounds aren't backward compatible. XS files (particularly the ALL file type) can be loaded into an XF with relatively few corrections for waveform/filter/effects differences.

[LittleNegrillio]

Yeah I checked out the xf at the store, really nice for people into "beaks."

[interlaceface]

£2650

[OFFICIALSWITCHBEATS]

how much are these i neeeeeed one it doesnt even tell u how much on the yamaha website

[stepstvee]

soon my baby soon.

[MFPalubaJr]

@stepstvee yes YES

[jamesteck1]

VERY GOOD.I' LIKE YOUR VIDEOS. I' FROM ARGENTINA....PLEASE TUTORIAL OF ROLAND JUNO G

[Toxicflu]

All amazing sounds except trumpet and Sax.  But there's so many amazing ones. But I'm still convinced that the XS sounds are this good also.

I guess they changed some performances around, but the sounds are mainly the same. (personally i make my own performance mixes any ways).

Good demo Katsunori.

[marekarnold]

I never heard a realistic sax sound out of any key... But I'm a sax player, too ;)

For XS please PN me...

[freekninjinc]

@marekarnold What about the plg vl in the motif(pre xs)?that plus bc3 or wx is strikingly convincing(I dabbled in sax myself)

[marekarnold]

@freekninjinc I use a wx5 myself, checked it with VL70m and the VL-board on Motif ES. I loved the "modern" sounds...but a realistic sax? hm, not really, but of course better ;)

[freekninjinc]

@marekarnold Seems odd they didnt just incorporate the plg boards into the xs/xf.I understand if they didnt want the modular approach,but going backwards doesnt sense make haha!

[videotitan1]

Korg is the king of the Sax sound.

[marekarnold]

great performance! And really great sounds (but still terrible saxes ) - can`t wait for my XF6 end of this week... :-) anyone in need of a one year old XS6? ;)

[bigdaddybright]

@marekarnold i am

[fotograf2006]

Even I don't understand a word - it's the best video in the moment at youtube. Contratulation! Thank you!

[eric140777]

@fotograf2006 Yep, havn't understand a thing, ... but it was clear enough to me, thanks a lot "musictrackjp"

[nicutdk]

WHAT THE DIFFERENCE ABOUT XS8 ???????????????

IT IS THE SAME BUT WITH NICE COLOR,

YAMAHA YOU MAKE JUST MARKETING!!

[k0stas4556]

you have the sweetest feeling on the keyboard ..you are the best of all who made videos for motif xf...if you produce songs or music generally.. send me a link which i can hear your music.thank you

[james2ue]

I really hate the Sound Saxs, Flutes, Brass, Guitars and Drum as well. Personally I think Yamaha save the best sound for their own Real Products. Beside the Electronic Keyboard, they also sell Drum, Brass, Guitar..( I mean the real stuff).

[ohmphthschwrhu]

@james2ue hey man thats the new survival trend .i just wish i had known roland was coming out with a v piano a year after the fantom g.these guys have to decide if they want to be oasis expensive and ignorant or not.these are computers and computers are relatively cheap. c mon big 3 its over!stick your heads in the techno guilletine. as far as programs go there is nothing on a keyboard[oasis -open labs], that can make a 2010 laptop yawn much less breathe hard.youre not fucking autodesk bitches

[leohammondb3]

Subarashi desyo.

[skullboy1990]

good sounds but yamaha need to work on their sax and guitar sounds cos they still sound a little fake when you use the pitch bend.

[caprice022]

this is sick i just put some money down on this this is the best motif hot

[MichaelAngeloBeats]

I've got a very basic question. Are there any differences in sounds (i.e. instrument banks, arpeggios, any anything else), between the 6, 7, and 8? Having the budget that I have, and with very little experience with a workstation as beautiful as this, I'm looking to get the 6. But if I'm going to benefit from getting the 7 because it has more capabilities and sounds (excluding the number of keys), than the 6, then I'll just have to save up more.

[idleminds1]

@MichaelAngeloBeats The only difference is the number of keys.

[DallasTroy2007]

Amazing.

[AndrecJC]

Fantastic playing! Great keyboard, whether it's the XF or the XS or even the ES!

[wpaul1975]

que dijo? What did he said?

[maidiremirko]

megabaito xD

but he is very very good in playing

[superarticulation]

I'm proud of the sound XS does. I have had one, and I like it. But XF can does more better job than XS!

[VacTrooper]

I have one question about this machine. You know with the "8 Layers of Sound" thing, say with like the organs and things, can you assign those 8 layers to 8 seperate MIDI channels? Like 8 seperate voices?

[chauwailung5101]

powerful tool!! amazing sound~

[zikerstu]

Yes unless you're in mix mode, or create a performance and use the faders to bring the voices up or down in volume.

[cvl85]

Does the sound break off when changing sounds?

[zikerstu]

So how do ya like the XF? I'm still considering getting one but It's so similar to the XS!

[superarticulation]

@zikerstu If you dont have XS, buy it with no doubt. More superarticulation samples here for more realistic sound. And from the very beginning of this video, you can hear that it sould really much more clear than XS does as the wav form is twice larger.

[superarticulation]

@zikerstu Moreover, if you have an XS. I think you can wait till XF RACK comes out. For me as a student lacking of income, it's unnecessary to buy another keyboard until the next generation brings about.

[edcollante]

@zikerstu Exactly. I guess I'll stick to the XS for now.

[allanyamaha]

Awesome synth!

[rezisehtnys]

Awesome demo. Can't wait until the next one. I'm slowly but surely starting to understand you better each video. Keep up the awesome work.
