Bert is highly talented. I am just an amateur, but I want to create a fusion of east and west world music for yoga studios and to produce a CD. I really was happy to hear that this Motif has tabla drum loops. Im looking for that. Does Yamaha Motif offer a better bank of authentic ethnic sounds like tampura, sitar, tablas, bamboo flute than Roland, Korg , Kawai, Kurzweil in addition to the more commen sounds of acostic bass, electric piano. etc... Which brand is also the most user friendly ?
i just bought the yamaha motif xf8. wow he really mastered that shit. they need a tutorial tbh. so fucking hard to use it. i want to connect it to cubase until now i can't.
@androcci Cubase is hard to use , I have a MOX8 and used the trial period and now can't validate it ha this stuff is super frustrating so I hear you there, they really should make a tutorial.
@Pianocarneseur12 cubas is easy lol some stuff i have on my channel when i had a sound card and a synth. No longer though it all got stolen! no insurance anyhow cubase 5 ftw
i really like this synth but i dont know, is it just me?? for i am seeing that all of these High end Synths are starting to sound all the same. Nothing really truly unique about this synth. Some new features in a new box,,bla bla bla....& Lot's of money
I don't have first hand experience with this one but from going over past products I think they went ahead of the rest when it comes to getting a good sounding mix with least effort, something that people who like to spend more time actually playing than tweaking sounds can appreciate. Of course engineer with tons of libs and plugins and vintage gear can beat this quality wise but the route to being very good engineer is different to being very good player, which are you?
they trying to fallow after korg m3 work station, it sounds like everything is compressed, like the korg m3, i use to own the korg m3, i soled it because i hated that pre compressed sound. maybe that way it sound on youtube...
@Hamalakwath That's too bad if true (unless they have some simple way to dial it back), but this video alone can't be the judge since this one has really bad quality for some reason. I haven't yet figured out why but some uploads just have horrible audio quality and others can sound just like a high quality mp3.
@guytoob the Fantom g is the best borad out there. ha ha ha ha. the XF is good if you doing sound scores for Hollywood. how people out you know get a sound score deal?
@guytoob the Fantom g 6 7 8, upgrade ver 1.50 allows up to 1gb now..lol plus you can record up to 24 tracks of audio and mix it with 16 midi tracks whopping 40 tracks, you get on board fx for all tracks midi and audio, you get 4 laywers for each patch, not counting live mode. let say, if you got a bass player and guitar player they can record their parts via audio tracks. if you want, you can also have real drummer play drum via stereo input via mixer to mic out your drum kit! XF cant do that!
@Hamalakwath Dude, the v1.5 update for Fantom G is only 32MB... I don't know what kind of junk you need to be smoking for it to turn in to 1GB of wave samples lol
@guytoob@guytoob I'M SMOKING P***SSY, NAH, JUST A JOKE DUDE! it comes with 30mb on board, its expandable to 1gb dude! you know how to read right dude? go to web site i sent you$ and click on Roland keyboards check it out for yourself dude$ if you are a keyboard salesman you need to step up your game dude$ and learn the keyboard game. ah ahhahaha lol! by the way I love them pretty east indian women on your page. i love me some indian women!
Yamaha / Korg / Roland = xBox360 / PS3 / Wii. It is almost like price fixing but with feature sets. Korg Kronos is the first keyboard to start incorporating sound libraries that actually require more storage space than what is found in my mobile phone. The others are still on MB size libraries. All I can say is they are lucky that Native Instruments didn't pull their finger out and actually create a hardware synth for their software libraries. That would be dangerous!
Pretty impressive keyboard. I own 4 boards and an upright piano: TS12, Triton Standard with expansion cards worth hundreds of pounds, KORG SP but this blows all of them away. Initially I was looking at the MO8 as I am not into Yamaha as much as I am KORGs. I just needed another 88 key controller that had some decent stand-alone sounds. After Will at guitar center showed me the arpeggiator, I decided it would be a cool addition to my studio. It's still in the box...watch out for my videos on it.
wolf2161. Do you think that manufactures have the perfect comupter instrument is their labs. Ehh. XF has just biger waverom,ram and more effect,appregiators,etc. I remember when first saplers where out and computers just did not have power to sample at enough rate to make palyed sound 20% real. What sampler or ADC does it approximating the real waveform thru integral equation. But this equation is not perfect,some info is lost in the process.Good ear can catch that.
Well what do you want RedDevilNumber 10. It's a computer simulated sound. Like any simulation it does, and never wiil sound like real instrument,but you can edit it quicklyon a computer, try that with real instruments. And if you are not satisfied with samples provided by any syth manufacturer you can make your own sample banks with your real instruments but there will always be some quality loss due to microphone and ADC. Computer sound is always 90-99% approximation of the real thing.
Nice machine, probably influence new purchasers and rich people that buy whatever comes out, but as an XS user, I don't see myself running out to get one...
Btw, pure analog synths like the mini-moog/prophet, and specially rhodes keys are extremely difficult to emulate. If you only need rhodes, piano, organ sounds, then buy a Nord Electro 3 for best emulation on the market, in terms of rhodes, piano etc.
When I bought a Yamaha Motif XS it rocked my world!! Revolutionized my studio and music making. The Motif XS/XF is a complete studio, its super all-around for all types of music. The sound is amazing, in my opinion the best workstation on the market. When buying sound/voice libraries on the "motifator" website the sound quality gets even better. The Motif XF have flash memory and a little bit better sound engine and the software is updated. But the Motif XS satisfy me completely.
i will do everything to buy it ....i have start already working 14 hours each day to make money.....when i hear this workstation...and i mean the videos on youtube... my head is full of music .....this workstation will help me to get the music out
@wolf2161 I don't think it is the keyboard manufacture's goal to replace real instruments. I produce beats and it a lot easier to do everything in a keyboard then to purchase and learn all of these instruments. Yes real instruments will always sound better. As far as the Oasys. Yea it was over priced but, its the best workstation keyboard. wolf is right as well. These companies could do better but, they have to inch there way better for each version so they can make money.
Most of the musicians in DC use the Motif. We traded our PC88 for it and never looked back. Hit up Phil at the Washington Music Center in Wheaton, Md. He shipped me one over night!!!
@Muziqstar you are right about being able to update your XS... but it won't have the flash memory (which is actually the only "real" plus that this instrument supplies. I don't know about next month my dude... lol
Sounds very professional and great video , but... Its just more tricks and gimmicks, menus, submenus and buttons. I have a Juno G, I guess this thing is a lot more expensive, but has little more to offer . The only reason I would buy this if I could afford it would be the piano sounds, they are superb. Then again I could probably afford a baby grand used for what this costs....Why oh Why can't Yamaha bring out a new CS80 or CS70m, real instruments that inspire creativity
@drummer140155 I also have the oasys as well and I've only used my xs7 about 10-15 times out of the hundreds of gigs vie done in the 2yrs I've had it. I played this new XF8 keyboard and I'm totally unamused by it. It's like this new model could've easily been simply an upgrade to the xs instead of a whole new board. And for an extra 3 grand I just don't see where it's worth it! And the supposed higher sample quality in the sounds don't come thru into my ears when I played some of them. It's l
those scarbee rhodes sound real good red. add those in the xf and some good moog, arp & juno 106 sounds and it would be something real special. the drum kit played here was okay i would like to hear more. i think the drums and modulation on the motif es is weak. i agree about the sound of workstations.
@wolf2161 These manufacturers have to eke out as much as they can from their R&D expenditure. If they made the perfect instrument then how would they get us to buy future models. This, of course, is good for them but not so good for us poor customers.
i like it but i hate these trance demos from all these companies. who listens to trance anyway? sucks. it all sounds the same. trance music and trance sounds suck. they should make them a option.
Why Yamaha, why don't you make a new version of MO6/8?? This keyboard is very good but everyone can't afford it........Other synthesizers are quite old.
it is cool but they are building them closer and closer to the tyros one man band keyboards what ever happened to instruments made to play with other musicians ?
It wouldn't surprise me if he is still with Yamaha in 10 years time, because he seems to really enjoy what he is doing. I mean who wouldn't want to be a Yamaha endorser, showcasing Yamaha instruments, going to instrument trade fairs to showcase some more and maybe even selling the products and offering assistance to people like Stevie Wonder or other big Yamaha users? ;-)
This is no match for my OASYS 88! Tough it's abandoned, it still rules..... (Until Kurzweil releases the mouch awaited "K-3000".) I had the XS for 6 months, but never liked it.
@drummer140155 I think all workstations sound pretty much the same, however, with this new Motif you can add flash cards which will allow you to load in some high quality samples such as Native Instruments Scarbee electric pianos which sound better than any workstation electric pianos. I think it will be a while before we see a Kurzweil K3000 and we might even see another Motif before then.
"Pass me me the naan" - what the F#$% kind of title is that? They let morons come up with names for their patches, so the names are moronic. Get your facts right about India, before you play Arabic music and pass it off as Indian.
although they have improved the screen i wish it were a bit bigger..like the fantom g or tyros 3..although overall the motif is the best workstation..in terms of sound.imo.does any one know if the xf has direct usb recording in wav format?
adhd?

I think it will be a while before we see a Kurzweil K3000 and we might even see another Motif before then.

"Pass me me the naan" - what the F#$% kind of title is that? They let morons come up with names for their patches, so the names are moronic. Get your facts right about India, before you play Arabic music and pass it off as Indian.
