Excelent Blake, Thanks for a great overall of this instrument. You play great jazz as well.

[@BorosZ]

Great demo!

[@terahkasozi]

Hey Blake, you've saved my Day. I finally don't have a reason to stretch and buy the MOXF8. The MOXF6 will serve me even better since I am ''weight-phobic'' :) I am really glad u helped me understand the similarity between the two on the inside. I appreciate.

[@allaneverett1470]

BLAKE, your video demo of Yamaha keyboards is excellent. SIR, what me and everyone else wants to see is....STEP BY STEP ON HOW YOU HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND MAKE ALL OF THESE FUNCTIONS WORK. THANK YOU SIR

[@m.p.958]

Seems to be a MUST Have !!

[@growtogether]

Blake is awesome, love his demos!

[@elvinlewis6490]

Checked out you website. I must say, I've never seen such highly rated reviews. I will order my Moxf8 from you only!

[@elvinlewis6490]

jon henri​ ?? I've watched every single Moxf6 and F8 review on You Tube. Been to guitar center and checked them out too. I will DEFINITELY, get the MoxF8. I knew the review itself, is an ad, but that's OK. I just want to know what it can do, and what it sounds like. I've also watched comparisons to other comparable keyboards, Roland and Korg, and I still like MoxF8, and for that price, I have found no better product. 

[@domgreen1859]

I need this in my life

[@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522]

Best presenter ever!

[@AntonyBanderos]

Excellent!!!! Blake, can you make a video tutorials about moXF on DVD ?

[@demetriccauthen7299]

Can you show us how to download samples I have moxf 6 I need to know how to get more sounds

[@georgei.giannopoulos6294]

This is an excellent review but i would love to hear more from of the presets (i.e organs,drum sets...)

[@reiniersacerio9334]

Can I use it like a midi controller? I would love to use it on gigs and then use it to produce my music with my own programs.

[@synesthesian7]

Great audio interface

[@independentsinema]

Hi, on the moxf6 when i apply an effect to one track, it affects them all unless i decrease the send levels, however that limits me to only one effect type for my entire song, how can i assign independent effects for each track?

[@chris-schreiner]

Great! Do you know is there the possibility to load Gospel Musicians Neo Soul Keys for MOTIF XF?

[@musicisdivine6803]

Hi sir how to play wav samples one short to loop mode

[@mysticman07]

could you please demonstrate performance mode and arp

[@D1NonlyKoko]

Hi Blake! This keyboard sounds great! May I know what speakers you are using?

[@TeleporterM11]

Could someone link me to how he plays ITunes through this keyboard

[@HelioLagoJr]

Hey guys! Do I need a good computer configuration to use with MOXF6?

[@SmallAxeMP]

Well said sir.

[@Rachelnymetal]

I had the original Motif 6 but I sold it. I can't afford the Montage. I am getting this. Thank you Yamaha for having fantastic keyboards at all price points.

[@nothought108]

Will the moxf6 control logic x the same way it controls cubase?

[@hkhauv]

Charles ~ It runs abour $1,200 rounding before tax. Can I use this board for one man band? Can I import different performance drum set?

[@waytoohip4u]

Is the DAW software bundle included 'Lite' versions or full blown?

[@cbro777]

A few years late but I'm getting this keyboard!

[@187onasimp]

Never late with a Motif the sounds are 10 years old and still going strong. Great Keyboard.

[@mayovox3920]

Can one use the "pattern" as a rhythm or pattern on arranger keyboard? I mean if a record the pattern in C Major and then plan A minor will the "pattern" transpose automatically in A? Like PSR, or KORG PA?

[@instrumentalistjade8367]

and this year a new flagship yamaha again.

[@ConstantineTrofimovFCPXRUSSIA]

Guys , this device okay for move composition? Movie Scores )

[@SIDINHOLEAL]

Ualll belos preços, no aguardo para Brasil...

[@TRPeterson]

I have cubase 7 artist, how does that compare with AI 7 and how will the MOXF play with cubase 7? Thanks

[@dashmeetsingh619]

Sir I need to know is this keyboard a good choice or should I go for modx 6 Actually am able to get this keyboard from of my friend..plz lemme know so tht I could take a good choice

[@camfre4k]

can you get the sounds from this keyboard into logic ? or does it only function like a midi ?

[@ririckCE]

Very good

[@BeniZeBest2011]

Does it have 8 insert Fx in MULTI MODE like the Rack ES (that I have...) or the Rack XS? And what is the maximun notes for the sequencer? Does it read wave file or MIDI songs from a USB device?

[@hectorgimeno]

I just bought the new yamaha moxf6 and I found a problema. When you play a G and after you play a C the C haven´t any sound...

[@iannisanarys6887]

Can this MOXF6 read XG Midifiles from a USB flash drive ? I went to a retailer not able to play the XG midifiles I had onto my USB device and brought to listen them played with this keyboard ?!

[@ericksoncastillo8053]

How do you deal with the low volume?

[@edranique1606]

Does it have a steelpand sound?

[@liquadiaone2865]

whats the difference with this keyboard and the motif XF? or is it that ?

[@Methanol2000]

I thought it would be possible to sample, if you install the flash-upgrade?

[@vantasties]

Great Video! great demonstration. Good player and instrutor.

[@rolandgerard6064]

I have motif xf, great moxf6, what a good price for such a machine

[@blakeangelos]

DrSpezo is correct 100%. Clearly we need to have a quick guide for Live users and in the future you can expect to see one.

[@cindyoniel9915]

Nice one.. 😘🐢

[@bossadude]

Did I hear right? You have to purchase something extra to get the Muted Trumpet and Chick Mark V sounds that were demo'd?

[@ganjahm08]

does this version has a rack version?

[@abhishekchakraborty3090]

Why s700 piano gave clicks sounds .. i listened carefully ???? oooh its same problem like korg krome

[@fmagic2000able]

@Joel Nichols Actually that's not true. The MOXF is not capable of sampling; however, it is capable of loading and storing user samples in flash.

[@blakeangelos]

I think the comment is this: "in fact, it is even better in a lot of regards". I'd like to qualify that. There are new performances, the price is lower, it weighs less. The Motif XF has faders, a bigger screen, a different action, the ability to record up to 16 individual audio channels at up to 24bit/96kHz via the FW16 expansion board, it has better D/A converters and it, as you stated, can sample. There are definitely superior aspects to the Motif XF. Just to clarify what I was saying.

[@jacobbrown1690]

the motif xf is also all metal construction

[@maggotjoe123]

low cost? yeaaah right

[@KIGAS]

it'll be up to your performance how much you'd get the hang of MOXE6,But i'd love to...i'm Japanese violinist

[@2324leinad]

Hello friend! I would like to ask you something.. I have a doubt about buy a keyboard.. I have two option.. the yamaha DGX 205 or Roland GW7... both are being sold for my friend at the same price.. $350.00 uss. but I don´t have the idea about which is the better? so I hope that you can help me and say me what do you recommend me? thanks! friend!

[@TrazomGV]

Well, I have both DGX 305 and Roland GW7 and it is hard to say which one is better, I like them all, and they are great as a combination for playing together. Piano sounds and expressiveness of keyboard are better at DGX, as well as on recordings it sounds more convincing, realistic, especially drums or bass sounds. Roland is very useful as source of beautiful ethnic sampled instrument sounds, really versatile organ sounds and real guitar tones. It has few rather good electric piano sounds, 16-ch.sequencer and wider editing possibilities in general. Rhythm patterns are based on recent pop production, but many appear not to be very useful in playing live. Yamaha has possibility to engage both split and dual mode at the same time, while I found disadvantage in inability to exclude sustain from lower keyboard zone if you play bass manually, for instance. GW7 is very light to carry, 5kg, and therefore very good for rehearsing and walking around, Touch sensitivity is hard to control, but I know that roland fixed that problem at newer models( GW8 or E09) by providing better key mechanism. Next, when speaking about choice of an instrument, very important is your personal approach to music, style of playing, favorite sounds you use or expect. Both of these models are worth of this money you´ve mentioned, so in the end itś up to you. Yamaha has built in loudspeakers, Roland not. Good luck!

[@kraftmusic]

Hey John, Thanks for your interest. MOXF6 starts at $1119.99 and MOXF8 starts at $1699.99. Check out our exclusive BUNDLES for great deals on the MOXF workstations. Feel free to contact me with any other questions. - Dave McCullough Kraft Music Marketing [phone]

[@bruceville_phd5523]

so all the "sounds packs" he played are not yet available unless buy the flashboard & load it?You should've showed the stock sounds only because it's mis leading expecting to have it already available off the store

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

So, sure, it does a lot of cool things but usually when I watch something like this, I'm listening to see if it has a good Rhodes, some good organ sounds and stuff like that. I think that's the main thing people want when they buy something like this. Decent keyboard sounds. Am I ever going to use a nylon string guitar? I can't see myself using that personally. I wish they could just make a good affordable keyboard that does all the keyboard things that keyboardists want.

[@shecky308]

How does someone get a hold of Blake Angelos?????????

[@13Dougiefresh]

Does anyone know in the MOXF8 another string, or Pad that is similar to the pad in "Piano Back"??? Not the piano sound itself but the soft string sound like it

[@marcuswilespage]

Well, I've been playing Yamaha keyboards since the original motif, and I use a patch called analogue pad. You can find it in any of their workstations (motif, s70, s90, all the MOs). Just cat. search pads in the voice mode and you should be able to find it. It's a really simple sound but it's really fat, perfect for bkgrnd layering.

[@MaxTerrazos]

Is the MOXF6 a sampler? I'd like to play in it some WAV samples that I have.

[@michaelbauers8800]

Rafael Mariano It can sample, hence the capability of putting in the flash cards. I own the Motif XF but almost never sample with it, so I can't comment on how good it is for sampling. You can download the manual and read up on it.

[@male617]

So I was wondering which digital piano is better. Aside from the price differences, I was thinking of this piano or the Roland RD-300NX. I've been eager to buy a new piano but I can't choose between the two. A reply from whomever would be much appreciated. Thanks!

[@supastylez]

does the MOXF6 have the same sounds as the XF6

[@BeniZeBest2011]

Thx a lot!! But actually I live in France and I've been on Ur web site and Kraft don't send out of America so I got to find a dealer like Thomann in Germany. I've just check their website but I didn't find the MOXF. Guess I'll have to wait....be patient (lol)!

[@555ontario]

Wicked! I love it and great passion there, Blake. My question would be; is there a significantly audible difference in the D/A converters between the XF8 and the MOXF8? I would not be recording the next Lady Gaga hit though I guess ya' never know... lol

[@chubby-cat]

Sound routed through usb interface built in the keyboard is too low in volume when recorded on daw and inferior in quality as well. Is there a fix for it?

[@TheRealDirtySkillz]

Arslan Arif Yeah - do a line in, to your computer and record using cool edit pro or Audobe Audition Pro. As a wav sample. Ive been doing this for 10+ plus

[@MICHALEK278]

Witam miałem przyjemność dotknąć pograć na tym klawiszu i niestety jestem rozczarowany ale cuuudowna pręzętacja

[@santos688]

Can you transpose it? Please tell me

[@charlesfisher1311]

How much is the key board

[@squeakD]

Nice demo. I just wish Yamaha would stop being so stingy with the poly on their budget synths. It's 2013.., there's no excuse for them not producing these units with 128 note poly. They keep upping the ROM, and upping the elements per voice (which is fine), but they never up the poly. The MOX series is great (but like the previous models), they are greatly crippled by the very limted 64 note poly. I used to have the MO8, it sounded great, but sequencing really showed the poly limit.

[@antonioalonzo1067]

I get to hear you more than the keyboard itself....

[@dennissawman663]

Has this thing got the sounds of the PSR9000??

[@kingdomminded87]

No. It has the exact sounds of the flagship Motif XF8

[@herrizaax]

What would you say are the pro's and con's of this compared to the Roland FA-08 Synthesizer Workstation. Because they cost the same and the video of the FA08 looked and sounded way better

[@lemonslice2233]

+herrizaax The Roland FA has a very limited library of SuperNatural acoustic sounds and drum kits (basically THE selling point) compared to their Jupiter synths or the Integra module, it's basically like a demo. That's quite unfortunate IMO and a huge strike against the workstation. With the MOXF you get the complete sound library and modeling capabilities of the Motif XF. You might prefer the sound, heck I do too, but you can't argue that unlike Yamaha with the MOXF, Roland gimped the FA quite unfairly.

[@mmkneppers]

Nice demo. I'm in doubt... this one or the Korg Krome 61...

[@mauguerra7979]

No way !!! MOXF is better sound ;-)

[@colbalt95]

i just wish it didnt have a weak power cord system. i had a lower grade keyboard with the exact same cord and it wore out in less than a year

[@carpegiane1504]

MOXF 6 Organ?

[@RodCast2012]

I have the MOX, do you guys think it worth upgrading to the MOXF?

[@evanunicorn]

Wait.

[@rolandbudin]

IT WORKS WITH LIVE? I never found any mappings for Ableton Live for my MOX6. Now I would buy MOXF6 but if I have to have the same stuggle with ableton live.... oh-oj.... no thanks...Anyone has a mapping file for Ableton live and MOC6 or MOXF6 ? Thank you in advance for contacting me if you have the map or can help me to map my MOX. ;)

[@JSprayaEntertainment]

can you sample with it ?

[@blakeangelos]

In response to squeakD: Yamaha did up the polyphony to 128 so you got your wish!

[@FinanceWithTy]

great demo. would love everyone to check out my fb forum and share your keyboard expertise to help others. facebook i love to play keyz.

[@prajwalvs1659]

Which is a better workstation?PSR S970 OR. MOXF6 ?Reply and help me......

[@johansbenny8949]

psr s970 is an arranger!

[@prajwalvs1659]

Arrangers are designed for instant music production, workstations are designed for advanced music production, editing etc. Workstations are simply for professionals.

[@Methanol2000]

MOXF just has double the polyphony of MOX, over 2x more memory than the MOX, 8 vs MOX's 5 simultaneous Insertion FX Parts , etc..

[@dwayneblackwell400]

jamal harwell is doing flash boards of all his sounds for the yamaha moxf it wil be call jamals flash it does load neo soul keys

[@mauguerra7979]

The Inspiration In a Flash file, doesnt work !!!

[@DiosEsAmor541]

Yamaha made a great job on this moXF version, well i will be buying my S90Xs and i know that this model the moXF i better from the inside, well almost the same just a couple of more sounds and more waverom just exact as the motif XF but the key action is just not that great, well i will go for the S90 xs and thats my point of view, i will wait a little if yamaha will come out with a S90 XF well dont know but lets wait

[@alphasxsignal]

Even the Ketron has sliders. Come on Yamaha put the sliders on this board.

[@sdsskyapp]

Can someone please tell how and where can I get the s700 piano sound?

[@instrumentalistjade8367]

buy a casio px 5s

[@sdsskyapp]

No

[@sdsskyapp]

my piano is better

[@vocalone23]

+Skylar Smith what do you have

[@jacobbrown1690]

download.yamaha.com/search/product/?language=en&site=usa.yamaha.com&category_id=16381&product_id=1816956 this is the complete download of everything for the yamaha moxf......if you go to content data, under " type " you will find all free sample downloads including the inspiration in a flash...

[@jantristian]

Polyphony x 2 to 128, Rom sounds increase to 741MB Motif XF 2010 sound set :( .. Flash expansion. That's about it. Still the basic dull screen...no color screen unlike the Korg Krome. Retains the built audio interface which is nice for DAW set up. Its interesting that it uses the 2010 XF sound set.just like Krome uses some of the Kronos Rom Data. I can't complain about the features against the price listing I would ditch my MOX6 for the MOXF6. Sadly what Yamaha did was change the Rom sound only.

[@MiddleEarth0069]

Kudos to Yamaha for the sound sets,flash ram & the 8 insert effects of the MOXF,but I had the MOX6, and the audio interface & PC integration was a disaster(not only in terms of it being a convoluted & complex mess,but being locked into using only certain DAW's specified by Yamaha was the worst part. That being said,I'd rather have the display & the WAV file rendering features of the Motif XF included in this model,rather than the DAW integration,so I will pass on this keyboard.

[@BeniZeBest2011]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! Please give us the price! The price! The price!!!!

[@EverettDudgeon138]

Sucks it doesn't have aftertouch.

[@slypin03]

never find the touch sensitive button

[@johncoster2007]

great keyboard with that there is now doubt but you can not compare a flagship sampling workstation with a lower priced spinoff, I mean the D/A converters on the Motif XF would be better plus sampling the build quality would be much better but as a budget keyboard for a project producer or computer musician this would be ideal. I am a happy Motif XF6 user.

[@AwesomeMan2696]

right i feel the same way, or at least bring back the sliders.. i dont care for the knobs

[@looneyburgmusic]

Without universal in-DAW vsti operation, it doesn't "just work" - it's crippled.

[@1974Corvo]

gran bella schifezza!!!

[@joel9240]

Actually the MOXF unlike the MOX can sample

[@michaelbauers8800]

Why? It's a great synth. Compare to my Virus, it's far easier to use, has a sequencer, more effects, full drum kit, many more sounds, etc. The Virus is going to be more flexible for synthesis. You could think of them as complementary, and unplugged (unplugged from some painful to use DAW.) It's really about what you want to do.

[@blakeangelos]

Yamaha did up the polyphony to 128 so you got your wish

[@user-lz2uk9lk5w]

сыграй уже что нибудь современное диджейское.. никогда не показывают настоящие возможности синтезатора..

[@SmallAxeMP]

Yamaha think not making the moxf7 making people buy the higher version of motif but it`s not if they make the 76 keyboard they would make probably triple what they are making now.. So silly

[@liljons6753]

Take my money...
