I love this guy

[@joelanderson_t]

I started as a keyboard player during my elementary school years. I remember looking up online about this MM6 keyboard and was very interested. I watched this back in 2008. Years later, now being a bass player, I bought this keyboard used at a music store back in 2017. I bought it for about $214 after the tax charge, and it was a good steal deal. I began using this keyboard mainly for synth bass. Then I found a video of the same guy here where he can also play bass. I didn't know this guy also plays bass. Very nice!

[@corndogers564]

Bert's enthusiam for music alone is contangous enough for me to go out and purchase one! Even if it is an "Entry-Level" Synth Worksation!

[@handel1111]

this is not a workstation, it's just a speakerless PSR

[@Csharpsuspended4th]

This Guy *IS* a *Vibe*

[@MegaMuhammad2000]

I purchased the machine because of this demonstration in 2009

[@julesbarry2081]

He could sell spaghetti to the Italians.

[@gavinjamesaitken1]

this guy is the man, learnt so much from his vids.

[@ytsedome]

Late to the show here, Bill Wurtz brought me here - he uses this keyboard MM6. Recently I got myself Yamaha XS6.. .what a machine.. Bert is super awesome as always.

[@sixthsensethaproducer5190]

2021 I still love this video!!!

[@RogerTerrell]

Great realist sounds.

[@DuduWakeman]

the best keyboard review in the world

[@sunilkeyplay1]

o Bert Smorenburg you definitely change the peoples mind either it's low machine or high machine when it's comes to your hand you will show them very highly. you are the best

[@andyelectricwiz]

This guy is awesome. Good demo.

[@7chopsticks7]

damn, that keyboard is awesome...

[@ut000bs]

I never came back and said anything after I ordered my MM8 a year ago. All I can say about this keyboard is that if it is in your price range and you want something that you feel should probably cost more, order it. I have definitely NOT been sorry I bought it. It's a wonderful keyboard that has brought me lots of satisfaction.

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

love this guys vids he really seems to enjoy what he is doing and afterlal thats what its all about init

[@yatescr]

Bert, I am a semi-professional keyboardist, playing more for church than gigs these days. Thank you for an excellent, and exciting, intro to the MM6 - I really enjoyed it! PS: The only thing I found lacking in the demo was the electric organ - sounded pretty synthetic. But then I'm an ex-B3 owner (Leslie 122 and 910).

[@secretsofthedeep20k]

He gets quite excited and is a bit crazy. But it's nice to see someone who loves music as much as he does.

[@shaebw]

Bert Blows my Mind!!!

[@harjoz]

Hebat! Great demonstration too! Greetings from Indonesia.

[@europe85hollywood]

This keyboard from Yamaha is realy realy great!!! I find Yamaha make more keyboards for amateurs but this thing is amazing, the mm6 is much more than a keyboard for starters i think.

[@corndogers564]

sounds fair! I'd buy it!

[@jlc7300]

Bert is wild!

[@dangeurs]

@casm2003 I love this keyboard. Hasn't disappointed me yet!

[@daaneldragon]

i'm getting one my self soon!

[@mugsytop]

you must be the best mm6 player and very well explained demo video, i am off out to buy one this minute. :0) bonkers.

[@Syntox]

I love this guy. I wish he was my best friend.

[@lebocharp]

i love this guy! :D

[@30alanek]

Bert the BEST;-)

[@rylandgreens124]

Man I dont even like that damn keyboard lololol!! - i cant play nothing lol - but i keep coming back here just to watch this man!! f awesome salesman!!!!

[@Astralpsycho]

I love this guy :D

[@WolchowsFilmschmiede]

@ViniciusGuitarGuy Press PATTERN and select one, then press START/STOP to start your selected Pattern. Metronome is just a "ticking clock" to help you keeping a Tempo ;-) If you have other questions, just ask via Inbox

[@AzimuthProductions1]

@Sodam7 Yes, it's useful as a recording tool for you and there are no bad points about it.

[@ripkvv]

@Sharpblade91 from what ive heard, this board is not not a worksatation, you cant loop, quantize, or import and export wav files. if you connected it to an interface and a daw than you can do alot more. at least thats what the dudes at guitar center told me.

[@marcusorangeboomivnone7490]

Go Burt !!

[@grommdk]

cool!

[@carrimbaX]

You're the best ...., very cool :-)

[@ryanoneillmusic]

@sadworld111 look in the Utilities button or something like that. then scroll through the options using the dec/inc buttons...

[@ut000bs]

@europe85hollywood I think they call it a keyboard for starters because of the price. This thing is ready for the stage. You can do so many things with it. Add some editing software (a lite version ships with it sometimes) and the sky is pretty much the limit, actually.

[@Roman45873]

Piekny istument .

[@seanlikestoeat]

lol in class we had to say one person we would like to meet.................... i said bert smorenburg :P

[@aparadektos4ever]

hi!!!nice demo there yamaha!!! i want to bye one mm6 but first i want to ask somethink..can i play with this mm6 without pc or laptop?

[@mackymcklusky5138]

4:44. I too agree that this is very important if you are a musician. Or even not.

[@meldmagic]

@vonne25000 You should also try a soft-synth like Garritan Personal Orchestra. Memory on keyboards to load sample sets is small compared to PC RAM. eg. 128MB versus 4GB.

[@Sharpblade91]

@mytrifanesti that is his job ;) . but his price i rather affordable compared other synthesaizers. that's the reason why this is an entry machine... here in greece it costs 530 euros, while others cost 1200 and 1500 euros... :)

[@dayh8]

@ut000bs I see you posted this a year ago. How do you like your MM8 now that you've had plenty of time to play with it? Thanks for any input.

[@gjc82071]

Listen. I have the Korg Triton ProX, Yamaha MOTIF6 & Roland XV5080. In their day (late 90's-early 00's) they were top of the line :flagship" models. (& they're still HQ units). IMO, Roland is flat out superior, all the way around. W/o question, Roland has the best "acoustic" sounds (piano & guitars are amazing) & great electronic/"synth" sounds. Korg has the great "synth" sounds & good acoustic sounds. Yamaha, while not as good as either, has a decent blend of acoustic/synth sounds. ;-)

[@folieadeux5463]

is it possible to make it play whatever you just played, so you can kind of play another layer over?

[@tonytramonti5828]

It’s all in the machine , get the one with the Bellend hammer keyboard.

[@delbosque31]

oye amigo yo quiero comprar un teclado pero que traiga las trompetas buenas que se escuchen asi como originales si puedes decirme si ese teclado cuenta con ese rejistro te lo agradesco

[@tsquare610]

I got my new yamaha MM8 this labor day sale, I got tthe best deal of all for 789 dollars, I checked all the music websites they all listed for 999 dollars for a new yamaha MM8.

[@ScratchedyFemem]

@haani4 Your riite it has no speakers.. but yu dnt need a computer.. yu can use headphones or an input device such as an amplifyer or PA system etc

[@MarkFromHawaii]

I just ordered one today from Musicians Friend.

[@Christiank77]

Ya, I think he mentioned the recording software right neat the end.

[@winodr.505]

Bert , is it possible to make the brass more powerfull as example for Reggea

[@lilmissmusic2012]

I kinda wish yamaha would make a new version of the mm series

[@heroknaderi]

nice

[@Cyberman86]

Can you please tell me what kind of piano or pianos you are using?? and what settings because mine doesn't sound that nice. Please anyone.

[@SOPM2007]

Ahahaha, that guy has some real fun presenting these machines ;D

[@Dallmayrful]

Is this keyboard good for producing music? thinking of getting one..

[@gwugluud]

Organ section include anything besides variations of Hammond? Any Vox and Farfisa sounds?

[@JordanCW007]

Dang! He's good

[@GabrielKai]

Yamaha rocks! 03:36 - "Imagine this: you're a Magician" lol

[@smash44556677]

Agreed

[@dangeurs]

@jackrob5 so what you mean is if it has weighted keys??

[@LordPodlington]

Cubase LE, it's a stripped down version of Cubase. It's actually really good, i occasionally use Cubase LE 5 and it's got up to 48 channels and a lot of functionality.

[@johnnyostrawb33ry]

can you make your own sounds on this like relating to LFO's, DCO's etc.

[@Sodam7]

Anyway is mm6 useful as a recording tool for composing music for beginners like me? Is there any bad points about it?

[@uservinc]

Hi, Does anyone know if the MO6 has an auto-accompaign feature on the left hand side, like the MM6? thx.

[@gusseisern1151]

Traded My CS80 for this one. What a blast.

[@MateuszW1990]

well, it's a entry level equipment, so what to expect, it's still good thing in relation price/features. I think after getting some experience with it people will swtich to something better

[@pretjeri.vanjee]

lol..bert, you are the best...lol... 1:34..lol with the plug (and jump)... mm6 is awesome..213 arpeggios..yeahhhh

[@Sharpblade91]

I would be grateful if someone could tell me the answer... I have the MM6 . I know how to write songs or patterns... my problem is that I write a pattern and when I press PLAY it doesn't repeat the written material... it plays it only once... what have I to do in order to repeat playing my recordings ??

[@dDessel]

I am wondering of it has the same "feeling" as a piano or more like a keyboard. could somebody please tell me?

[@BenjaminKirkpatrick]

@DRUMyourgoals same here m8!!

[@JusBlaze29]

can anybody tell me what is the name of that piano sound that he's using on the MM6

[@gjc82071]

or Tangerine Dream (Wendy Carlos too (switched on Bach)

[@hangebicom]

At 1:40 he plays the bass line from Jazz JackRabbit PC game intro tune :)

[@Sharpblade91]

look at his face at 2:31 ! he is expressed so funny! xaxaxax! i LOOOVE this advertisement!!!!

[@VladimirKomendantskiy]

exactly :)

[@LIANG14]

'I have a cutoff and resonance - KNOB right here' Ha! love him.

[@LongWal1]

[@jessemusic1585]

I need this keyboard could you help me getting please....?

[@javoutube1]

haha that guy is so energetic

[@vito_keys]

And now it has evolved into the CK61

[@mannyzism]

would you be able to use this as a midi?

[@ViniciusGuitarGuy]

How do I select the drum machine? Is it the metronome?

[@vanblasi]

but the modulation of te sounds is good? better than korg R3??? can any one tell me please?

[@ssjcloud]

I tried one in store, it doesn't come anywhere close to how it sounds in this video, and it felt like a $200 keyboard. The piano sound is very thin and overly processed...The keys on mm8 felt very awkward. However, the keys on the Mo6 and Mo8 were great!

[@ruisu96]

anyone can explain how he did the legato guitar? 0:55

[@europe85hollywood]

Does somebody know whats the song from the part that hey play on 4:25 - 4:33 ??

[@sonicakite]

cual es la cancion del minuto 4:20 ?

[@dangeurs]

@jackrob5 what do you mean?

[@ut000bs]

@expressmalta You can make your own drum beats however you want them! :D

[@hangebicom]

hahaha, at 1:41 he's playing the bass line from Jazz JackRabbit theme song!

[@cvl85]

@bigshaq12 Ya I did too. was playing with a simple piano ans strings. and the strings just cut off.. Grrrr!!!!

[@link0587]

they used to do that back in the 80s and early nineties, but it comes at a price: weight

[@stalwart911]

I was a Yamaha fan till recently but now my favorite machine is Roland sh 201,, check out some videos on youtube...

[@jackrob5]

Does it have piano touch? Please respond

[@jackrob5]

@dangeurs the answer is yes
