Editing a Voice in Performance Mode on the Yamaha Motif Classic

[@tonychapman6591]

The best explained video I could find on the motif

[@JamainFreeman]

Thanks! At that time I was trying to figure it out and no one was explaining it properly...lol!

[@Tanstaafl1976]

Yo, J Free, thank you very much for making this video, man. I have a Motif ES6, but never spent much time with its programming, so your instructional video is a very welcome bit of knowledge to me. I really appreciate you investing the time and effort into creating this video to help out a lot of us Motif owners. 🤜🤛

Great job Jamain! I love how simple this was and very clear. It's been hard to find someone who simplified this on KZbin. Thank you again! -Subscribed.

[@JamainFreeman]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful for you.

[@gregcoupe]

Thanks so much for your tips - makes learning much easier.

[@michaelraytyler9678]

Thanks Jamain. I was hoping that you could talk about changing the volume of a part. But you helped by telling me to press edit and I figured it out from there. But thanks man. It is in the wee hours of the morning and I just did not want to break out the manual. I love the Motif 6 and 7. Their great. :)

Greetings brother! If I wanted to just increase the octave of the pad or decrease it how I would do it with out affecting other instruments?

[@richardPalmisano]

Hello my friend thanks for the info I have a question maybe you can help me I have the ES 6 and loaded the k sound pianos but cannot hear them they are showing up in the voices but don’t hear them.

[@ScottJarreau]

Bishop! When I hit edit, on PERFORMANCE, my panel looks vastly different from yours. Your bottom row starts with Voice, Output, OUTSEL and Tone" / mine is "General, Out/Meq, Arp and CTLASN" what am I doing wrong?

[@PlayforJesusChrist]

Maybe you are in common edit, hit one of the numbers (1-4) to go into element edit.

[@ScottJarreau]

PlayforJesusChrist That was it! Thanks bro!

[@scooby3030]

hi i have a motif 7 and im sure mine looks diffrent aswell as i cant find the buttons your pressing in the bottom row

[@MartinsMusic]

@@PlayforJesusChrist Thanks brother!! It worked!!

[@pierluigicinque1152]

HI, thanks for your tutorial. I would want to know if, with this way I can keep the chord hold on by removing the left hand. thanks, best regards

[@KBizzy]

Hey Jamain, I have serious polyphony issues when I create performances. The individual voices are fine in voice mode but as soon as I create any custom performance, I get dropped notes left and right even when I disable the sustain for one or even both of the voices. Any idea why or is this just a thing with the MO series?

[@JamainFreeman]

Kevin, unfortunately, this is an issue with the Yamaha boards when using the performance mode. It's worse on the MO series of boards. I think the XF fixed this issue though.

[@PoloBoyShawtyBeats]

can you use performance sounds in record mode/ song mode? I can only use voices

[@gmm1904]

Hey please. But how do load that profirmancenof layered sound when ever I want to keyboard to load them every time I turn it on.

[@JamainFreeman]

You can just save the performance and set your settings to last sound on reboot in the settings section.

[@gmm1904]

Sure. Thanks.

[@cdwhiley]

All I wanna do is edit the filter in VOICE mode. Why cant I figure out how to access it?

[@IvarFritjofHansen]

Hello ive got me a motif 7 since i like the piano on it i scroll trough it last night wow lead sounds pads and piano awesome, but how do i use the seaqencer how do i start build intr by instr to record for a song i want to build. And how do i save my favourite sounds in motif 7 ...do i need a memory card to do that? or can i do copy to nr------

[@jaydezproductions2081]

@Jamin how do you name the performance?

[@marchangel7462]

When I set my faders the sounds cutout when blended together. The sounds aren't blending well. Is there a work around or is it a polyphony issue?

[@JamainFreeman]

Yeah this is a known issue with Yamaha boards. I think they fixed this in the XF series but in the original and the MO series, it still does the cutoffs.

[@dhrubojyotidas5939]

How can i store my tones on voice mode for live performances??

[@riccardocampana1489]

same as you would store a performance. You edit however you want and then press the store button

[@mandyrose3884]

Pls sir show us how to set up motif8 pls

[@scooby3030]

hi im trying to edit sounds in my motif 7 how come when in performance mode you cant change the voice of a preset?

[@joeykeysade986]

Why after storing and I turn off the power and turn it back on the previous performance that I edited go away and I have to start it back

[@JustusTubes]

The internal battery may need replacing.

[@JUANFlores-ys7im]

Hi I can select my sounds one at a time at each bank in voice?

[@JamainFreeman]

Yes, you can. That's what I show in the video where you can search your banks for your sounds for each voice that you have.

[@JUANFlores-ys7im]

@@JamainFreeman Correct your Explain in performance Where save 4 voice I want to see if i can save a single voice in each bank.? Thank you brother

[@hatemnasr]

How to octave sounds inside performance mode ?

[@JamainFreeman]

You will have to do this under the particular part parameters by moving the note(s) up or down because there's no way to do it by using the octave button. FYI: You if you set the octave with the buttons and save the patch, it will make everything an octave lower and save that setting to the overall patch. This could be useful in some scenarios. Hope this helps.

[@hatemnasr]

@@JamainFreeman Thanks a lot for your help .. Have a nice day .

[@Loyascleanings]

How to reset the previous user efcts arp etc.

[@1masterfader]

how do you rename the performance?

[@JamainFreeman]

Press the [EDIT](COMMON) button. Press the [F1](GENERAL) button. Press the [SF1](NAME) button. Use the Cursor buttons to navigate to the "Name" brackets. Use the JOGWHEEL to change the Performance name. Then you should be good to go. Make sure you hit enter to commit the change to the name.

[@alfonso9155]

2:25 me sale diferente desde aquí, tengo un Motif ES8

[@AlbertRuiz207]

Alguien sabe como crear una caja rítmica en el motif???

[@rmcbeats2]

Why do you prefer the classic motif? Just a question

[@JamainFreeman]

I actually like the new one the best. I got a great deal on this one at the time and jumped on it. One of the main reasons is because the classic is one of the only versions, until now, that didn't cut out sounds when layering in performance mode.

[@craigcottrellethan4969]

How do you get to voice?

[@JamainFreeman]

You would tap the part buttons for each individual part and then select what sound you want to use for that part.

[@rhythmcity2006]

Just got one for 200 bucks the other day Motif8
