YAMAHA MOTIF XF Demo 2/3 Performances

[@860anthony]

best demo of any workstation I've seen. Straightforward, and to the point. Letting the consumer hear the sounds of the keyboard. What a concept!

[@perfektpitch]

Your videos perfectly demonstrate why it's not just about how good a particular keyboard's sounds are, but how well a keyboardist can manipulate and play those sounds. Great video. Excellent playing. Thank you.

[@grayeagle1000]

He is demoing the best of both actually.

[@athopi]

Blown away! I've listened to you for years here on YT and I think your playing goes from professional to master class! I think you and this keyboard are a perfect match!

[@digitalbroadcaster]

I needed to go to bed and sleep, but kept on searching for Motif XF videos that were reasonably good and SHOWED me what these machines can do. Thanks to this very well played demo, I can now GO! Yayyy! Next stage.....to buy one. Somehow.

[@busyworksbeats]

this guys playing is insane.

[@edwardperez2729]

I thought Gospel musicians had it all but this guy is the complete package in musicianship! I really need to get practicing and find a good teacher.

[@JozeatTxb]

Modern "Gospel musicians" learn the craft from emulating these old-school masters! Of course they would not always tell you that . Sadly there are ever fewer of these masters left to teach the craft, and as well these days few of us can be bothered to put in the work it takes, preferring the easy sample route/already made chord tracks via software etc.

[@TheLastVelkirk]

This is the best vid I've ever seen for the Motif XF! Need more like this!

[@JozeatTxb]

@01:40 Insane Guitar Solo 😍😍👏👏. Love the way Mr.K's foot even responds to the magic ("manfully" lifts off upwards ) as he bends the guitar (ahem Keyboard) on the low note🙃(@01:51) !! Prodigious performance, prodigious machines these motifs.🤏

[@hcsakurai]

Nunca vi ninguém tocar como esse mestre...1000 anos a frente de todos....um mortal de mente aberta...

[@costas1010]

great demo. Yamaha always have wonderful demos of its synths. They make you wanna buy it so much even if you are not fun of Yamaha..bravo..

[@ffbossy]

He knows how to use the Motif his playing is excellent I am impressed thanks for sharing your knowledge ;-))

[@RichardThev1]

YOU, my friend, are AMAZING! and so is the keyboard!

[@yonghan533]

This guy Katsunori Ujiie is as good as Bert Smorenburg, insanely skilled!!!

[@mattblack3901]

This guy here?! I'd Love to see him and Bert in the same room

[@yamahasynth]

Katsunori Ujiie, I Love You! :) Thanks for a perfect demo!

[@ajamit007]

I don't about the Keyboard, but the guy who is playing it is seriously skilled!!

[@EduCamargoOficial]

Updated sounds (741mb against XS's 300 and so mb), and one of its biggest keypoints it's that you can expand its memory, installing flash cards that can acomodate gigs of your own sounds (hence the "f" on its name). And the best part: You turn on your instrument, the samples you need are ready to play, like the internal sounds. No more RAM memory, except the 128mb included for temporary sample edits. And then you can use external storage for backup purposes, as always.

[@stcezaire06]

Fantastic man !

[@kids4krist]

i want that keyboard now its so amazing i got to play on it in guitar center for a while it was so easy to figure out and very nice keyboard if you are a producer

[@bitpixpr]

Another amazing video really amazing indeed, thanks Katsunori for making this video on english.

[@rscott999]

Such a Kool Kat! What a player!! love it!

[@xMimzzy]

hahahha that intro.. holy hell, thats insane.. im gonna find this synth and buy it because of you.

[@brettymike]

Fantastic demo , couldn't wish for better.

[@InsertName125]

Pretty humbling. Does he use his talents to really create something? I hope so. It's kind of weird, seeing someone with his overwhelming talent, discussing features of a synth. Most of the guys doing this on KZbin are total hacks. This guy is SCARY skilled.

[@grayeagle1000]

He could easily get a gig playing alone or with one other musician friend at some of these upscale hotels out in the lobby for some pretty decent bucks.

[@samdrye8067]

BUILT IN GENIUS. IT DOES TAKE ONE TO RUN IT. GOOD LUCK. PLAYING IS ONE THING. FIGURING THIS KEYBOARD OUT IS DAUNTING.

[@Beholderz]

Fantastic demo.

[@officialjerel]

Does flash allow me to loAd wav files from a HD such as drums. Create a userkiT and make tracks and have all editing features of that wav as if it were a stock sound????

[@marurron]

Fantastic...

[@leonardoflores2068]

..awesome!!! a great player...

[@MrPinkStrat]

YA gotta love this guys groove .

[@joelwesterveltaia2196]

Very nice demonstration. Thanks.

[@gregghill3229]

awesome video awesome playing keep it going

[@penguinneo]

you are a great guitar player!

[@cbdancer]

This guy is freakin amazing!

[@idaveit]

Great! I like how you play the leadguitar.

[@augustinenathan266]

Very sensible demo

[@abosco771906]

Awesome!!! My XF7 is on its way!!!

[@marcosantoniodosantosmorai3496]

Hello Katsunori Ujiie. Beautiful demo, how do I get these programmed sounds and demo?

[@followyourpassion8378]

That says it all about the XF.

[@mcx671]

permítame decirle que me entusiasma verle tocar, usted sabe hacer buena música siempre

[@LaMusicadelMaster]

i like that song so much, nice demo :)

[@GeorgeKakashvili]

Please explain, how do you control rythms (accompaniment and so on). pedals? or how does it work?

[@GeorgeKakashvili]

@giogorajora coz, what i understand is that you create your beat and save as a patch. right? or not? :P

[@perfektpitch]

Is there any way of getting in touch with Katsunori Ujiie directly? Or possibly via some website? I would love to pick his brain regarding his playing techniques, which in my opinion are phenomenal.

[@trucho6395]

whre did u learn how to play bro i like ur style of music that keaboart is a killer but wich one do u thing is better the xs or xf

[@mtbikingrulz]

@Drajfovic Speaking of maximums, KZbin has a max character limit on it's comments. To sum it up, if you have ever used a USB audio interface, even one that is USB2.0, you'll notice tremendous amounts of latency. (which manufactures find ways to use real time monitoring to allow it to be barely useable). Firewire interfaces have near-zero latency. This is because all USB buses run through the host processor, while FireWire is a dedicated, independent bus. Google the white papers for more info.

[@nolanfontaine1799]

what type of speakers are you using? what are all of the components of this keyboard when it comes to the power cables and other cables and speakers?

[@chilledoutmo1895]

wow... I am speechless. Whats his name ? is he contactable?

[@just_jimmy]

why 5 octaves?? i don't see a version with 5 octaves in their website?

[@joseluisorobioquinonez6649]

Excelente zinte 😊 quiero uno de esos

[@FashionistaDesigner]

Hahaa,.I thought I heard applause in there at first. Hahaa Mr. Yamaha here is a rocker guitarist from a past life..

[@mysticsailor9]

@xhimiz14 5 octaves is 61keys so its the xf6 :)

[@grayeagle1000]

you do know at a push of a button the keyboard can SHIFT itself up OR down 2 additional octaves. (48 more "keys")

[@sixsaint63]

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN TO USE.. I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE

[@fryk2462]

Never knew that one of the best guitarists on the planet could play thru a keyboard... Jan Hammer is also in that Olympus...

[@johnhughes9268]

can I find 1st guitar on my mm6

[@romantahirov6973]

Great !

[@saymario]

i don't even know how to play the piano, but at age 62 I hope i can learn, this keyboard will be delivered to my door, ding dong, next week, yeah!

[@Dannynight1]

nice song men!!! like it

[@nicekazan]

うめえ‥ 氏家氏ノリノリで右足あがっとるやん 3：30あたりで簡単な英語と日本語混ざっている！「ナ～イスね」

[@KDJFC]

This guy is amazing is it just me or the keyboard just sounds better than Kronos D: with a lot less MB.

[@mtbikingrulz]

@Drajfovic Don't be deceived by the numbers. USB2.0 has a 'theoretical maximum throughput' of 480Mbps and yes FW400 has a 'maximum' of 400Mbps. However, that being said, the sustained data rate is what is truly important. USB2.0 has real world sustained data rates of about 240Mbps on average, which is about half of what people believe it is running, while FW400 has real-world rates of about 393Mbps, pretty damn close to its maximum. Sustained data rates are most important with streaming audio.

[@bassiclogic]

Xcellent is right!

[@arew234]

play that guitar KATSUNORI-SAN!!!

[@Prodbyrichwood]

THE FIRST ONE SOUNDS LIKE OLD SCHOOL SONIC THE FUCKING HEDGEHOG ALL DAY MAN, HE SHOULD WORK FOR SONIC TEAM.

[@LogiForce86]

Now I know you're name! Finally. Though... why do you, Katsunori Ujiie, sound so much more enthusiastic in Japanese? Nerves maybe? ;) Great demo though. Better then the demo of Bert with the XS if you ask me. Though tap tempo only now on a Motif is a bit sad. Tyros and Stagea organs already had this. At least, Tyros 2 for sure (I know cause I got one).

[@JacknBrothas]

Y ese aparato no lo venden con ese viejo?

[@Fabian.constructor]

capo el ponja, sinceramente un capo el ponja

[@Z1V3]

Will motif ever have voices and drums of tyros 5? Instead of these outdated cheap ones

[@brisam265]

I love you man

[@miracle7.jesus-christ]

Yesss. gooood

[@khanhbariton]

i like guitar lead.creat!!!

[@Drajfovic]

Just tested the motif xf in the music store. Nice WS...however it seems quit cheap & anoying only to be able to buy "FW16E FIREWIRE EXPANSION IEEE1394 S-400 (393Mbit/s)" which is slower than USB2 (480 Mbit/s). Imagen that every Apple LapTop is now days supplyied with Firewire S-800. Is S-400(the stone age) enough? Do we need S-800? I would say No & Yes..fuk'n..yes. Yamaha customers need a new Firewire Expansion supporting S-800 in motif xf. Simple as that!

[@jantristian]

Yamaha don't produce watchers..do they ...???

[@Milkovka]

Класс!

MÚSICO. LEVEL = ASIÁTICO

[@lamayciahackett3635]

Remember the MOX6 has the sound engine of the XF half the price ...

[@youmilkpack]

Not correct! The engine of Motif XS... that´s half the waveforms of XF

[@SyamTajuddin]

MOXF does ;)

[@PCIcentral]

yu knoh (you know)

[@Morumt]

i can use 4 at the same time, you know, and then, you know, you know.

[@ronaldboykin9755]

Most of these guy either work for Yamaha and or performers!

[@grayeagle1000]

This was recorded 10 years ago though. Dam that's scary.

[@RionPhotography]

Asian Bert !

[@glenling]

funny, he's wearing a CASIO g-shock ;)
