[@nunesnunes228]

wouuuuuu pqp!!! minha sogra

[@avadianantharaagam]

Very nice

[@Aaronrocha1]

Great Playing. I'm considering the Korg Kronos because when you switch between sounds, it doesn't completely cut out. Very Very good playing indeed. I hope I can play the keys like this someday.

[@awildamoya4533]

Excelente músico

[@rhulkeys1975]

[@bigbenskeys]

Love the Brian Culbertson touch at 3:00 :-)

[@TheYann17]

Parfait les gars !

[@calarfe]

Superbe ! :)

[@32groovy]

This mox8 is a great synth. It sounds amazing and it's so light!!! If you have roadies or never gig then go for the xf8. But you can't beat the mox8 on price or gigability! The only thing that sucks is the 9.5v power connection!!

[@michaelbauers8800]

Was reading comments. Definitely not ideal audio quality. It's understandable to just record from the cam's own audio, but won't give you an accurate picture of what a Motif sounds like - great playing.

[@alex_x5d]

Cobe Bryant is drummer...wooooowwww

[@autotest8193]

i liked very much....great mox8 sound nice drummer didnt cover the band...bass line superb..

[@ian757]

The MOX is still a great Board even today but players like this can make almost anything sound great and when the sound goes through a PA system anything mid-level and above will sound pretty much the same.

[@babar141]

niceeee weres the second half??

[@blakeangelos]

Actually, the MOX can do what you are suggesting and can effectively lock the keyboard, preventing inadvertent voice changes. You can simply press the remote button and it works the same way.

[@masterinuse]

Anyone tried to load Neosoul Keys Samples on it?

[@kizz06]

awesome,where can i learn this kind of playing ?

[@flamwork06]

Hey I'm thinking about getting this board was looking at the Roland 300 nx but gosh for the same price I can get this board which has alot more!!!!

[@tommyjoea]

Roger wow after all these years I see you.I have seen picture of you in certain situations. But no way to get in touch with you.I can still play,but Iam into production. If you remember I was always studying music composition and still to this day.Got that room with computers like most of does. Let me know you got this post.Happy to see you Tommyjoe Henderson

[@selfsamemusic]

Tommyjoe Henderson Here's Roger's music Facebook page - I'm sure you can reach him there! facebook.com/JazzRosco

[@agustinandradeve3794]

what are you using for the keyboard? and amplif or the baffle eon behind you?

[@andzaa]

This composition can also be played on single MOX without dishes and Guitar, just program tracks individually and play mix, that's all

[@arjay1949]

WOW! -so that's what my MOX CAN sound like. Bit more practice needed, I think. Great stuff....

[@bwxk3]

i'm 43 year old and i wonder could i play like that

[@PutItAway101]

Oh man this is smoking.

[@DerikPiano]

Kinda lame that yamaha didn't put "patch remain" feature. Hurts me seeing him change sounds like that. Kurzweils have had that feature since forever. Either way very nice playing.

[@geoffk777]

The musicianship here is awesome. This guy could make a toy piano sound great, so it doesn't tell you much about the MOXF. However, I have one (even if I can't play like this guy). The piano is Ok, but not as expressive as I'd like. I have a Roland RD, which is MUCH better (but also much heavier). The EPs are pretty good, especially the Yamaha CP-70 and DX7 sounds. As a working instrument it's great, since it really is super light and portable. It has a very good action--not as good as the Roland, but better than Kurzweil or Korg, despite being cheaper and lighter. The ability to accept a flash board and additional sounds is also great. I don't find all of the arpeggios and patterned playing options that useful, but EDM and hip-hop users should like them. If you're looking for an "interesting" synth with unusual new sounds or primarily a stage piano, there are better choices. As an inexpensive, portable, bread-and-butter board for doing gigs, it's almost perfect. A lot of the working musicians that I know use these and swear by them.

[@arjay1949]

You need to buy the XF I'm afraid..... no slides on el cheapo version !......

[@RogerSmithOfficial]

Roger Smith you say...

[@keyzzable]

whats the name of that music

[@cherylhiggins4205]

Thats what i wanna know its in my head

[@andremorrell7329]

The lead guitar play was off key, but the keyboard player came back to pick him up!!! Great playing!!!Omg.. What if he had a motif?

[@Einnor084]

Iz there a BIG difference, Andre? Roger said, da MOX, contained all da Motif soundz.

[@tyleryesta1]

The Rhodes sounds a bit thin in the video. Is it just the compressed sample he's using? Are there fatter Eps in there?

[@trevorsmith8950]

Yeah, they have a decent selection of EPs. The organ sounds are mostly terrible, and there are like 3 piano sounds that sound great, and the rest are soaked in reverb or super hokey. IMHO

[@YouzTube99]

01:00 LOL! Curb your enthusiasm.

[@dvamateur]

nice and groovy, but for the money I could probably get RD-1000 and looks to kill, no?

[@miguelrhodes]

esse cara é muito pavão toca muito bem mas como ouvinte NÃO gostei achei muito barulhento e harmonia indefinida !

[@fernandoamorim86]

mais a proposta é essa mesmo!!!
