Yamaha MO6 How to Make a Pattern

The Yamaha MO6 is a great keyboard with a great arranger for building your own tracks. In this video I demonstrate how to build a pattern from scratch. For more music from Dr.Markow check out www.frankmarkow.com and/or http://drmarkow.bandcamp.com/album/2009 to hear some tunes I have produced using Native Instruments Maschine, another awesome piece of gear

Could you do a demo on how to setup the Mo6 to use the arpegio for auto accompanyment?

[fmarkow]

@sglynn55 sorry, I can't, no longer own it..

[petersedin]

most every track have the same lenght? or do they loop to the longest like on the Motif

[fmarkow]

@petersedin from what I recall each pattern (I assume what you mean by track) can be a different length

Hi can you please consider creating a MO youtube tutorial where you actually build a drum pattern first one part at a time (I guess that would be called "STEP PROGRAMMING) rather than used pre-programmed beats? For example...TRACK ONE bass drum, TRACK TWO snare drum, TRACK THREE high hat. Then some instruments such as TRACK FOUR bass guitar, TRACK FIVE keys.etc...? This would be much more helpful than using these pre-fab beats

[fmarkow]

@thelearningcenter I no longer own the unit so I can't do this. However if I recall, creating your own beat is fairly straight forward, just select the drum patch you like, and make a pattern blank (you have to scroll through the patterns and find a blank / user patch). Hit record, play beat, boom. If you want drums on different tracks you just need to create as many tracks as you want for this, put each drum on a differnt track. It is not an ideal machine for doing complex drum stuff though...

I would so appreciate it if you put in a view of the display at top, so can follow along and copy what you are doing.

Your camera is too high, we don't understand and don't see anything to what you did!!!!!!!!!!!!! Insane to present a tutorial when nobody can see clairly what you explain.Yamaha MO6 is too complicate and really bad made.

How can I get my recorded track patterns onto computer? I want to be able to burn them on cd now(especially with good quality!!!!) Help anybody??

[animan756]

I hear you saying that it has these cool patterns, templates, etc. but don't see where to go to find em. I did what you do on the board in this video, and can't make those buttons produce those sounds. If I bring up the preset sounds by hitting file/utility together, hit enter then those are loaded up. But the buttons to the right only play the tracks of those presets. How do I get the MO6 to do what you are demonstrating in this video? I missed a button somewhere.

hi what is the main difference between the MO6 and the motif ?

[animan756]

It would so help if the camera was zoomed in tighter, and the screen be an inset, so I could see exactly what it looks like. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for showing me this!
