Yamaha Motif XF First Video Preview - part 1 of 2

Bert Smorenburg gives SonicState a first look at the new the flagship workstation from Yamaha

[@143Chippy143]

There isnt anyone better than Bert, This guy is the best rep that any company could ever find, I love his energy !

[@danielkinney9407]

i love this guy. he is really the best at showing off the MOTIF XF

[@The1andOnlyMadvibez]

got to love Bert hes the reason I bought my es6 back in the day still love it

[@DJTriplestar]

ha :D geweldig om een nederlander een review te zien geven! Thanks sonic state, awesome reviews as always!

[@phillipmusicgalaxy4470]

I love this one....but i would like to know how to create a loops in various beat?

[@rosss9999]

Good to see Sonicstate doing their independent unbiased well researched reviews..... And the occasional promo vid.

[@Wolfpack1254]

I've been playing with the MO6 for three years, and the XF is way over my head. I'm just figuring out the sequencer, mixer, storage, etc. Having a lot of fun though and creating some really great riffs. I was lucky to find a used XS6, not a scratch on it, for $1200, so I guess I'll be busy figuring that workstation out for the next 3 years. Bert must be a genius. he makes the other demo men look pale.

[@miekwavesoundlab]

How did you use multiple CMC controllers with Motif XF?

[@TomZentra]

@ccfunk1 I agree with you on the black color. It's about time Yamaha got back to the basics. Which version of the XF are you planning to buy?

[@ariasmusiccentreyamahadeal5533]

.. Very good to share ... Congratulations Sonicstate .. Greetings ..

[@cepilla]

@fourztringz yes it does....... the s90es is the one with s700 (which is a great patch)... the s90xs has the S6 instead...

[@instrumentalistjade8367]

is the xf better than the xs

[@hekk37]

is there any new sounds on this model vs it's predecessor???

[@ccfunk1]

i have always played yamaha keyboards and i hope to try this one when it hits the states. going by this vid it sounds decent but as most people know youtube audio isnt the best. the flash rom is slow to load the sounds or third party libraries though. they need to change that. i most likely wont use that too much. real time control over the sounds is whats important to me in sequence mode. at least its black. grey & silver is weak

[@ccfunk1]

the xf 6. i was on the phone with yamaha the other day and the tech i spoke to told me i cant use my patterns from the es on the xf. that wont put me off though.

[@cosmicjazzer]

My Motif ES is spoilt by it's slow response - no good for true virtuoso playing (or is it that most of the samples have a tiny bit of silence at the beginning?) I wonder if this is any better...

[@cepilla]

......... is the sound of the motif xf S6 patch that lousy?.... perhaps the sound Q of this recording ain't good but i have to say that the S6 patch sounds beasty on the s90xs

[@_EddyCruz_]

where I find the motif of the hammond xf6?

[@codylebouef555]

I'm getting one!! So excited!!

[@bsr2002]

I finally got one and it's awesome!!

[@DNGMaestro]

Lots of Michael Jackson songs! Big Bert :D

[@BioSoftStudios]

With a slice of coldplay

[@uHuTNO]

Bert is the BEST!

[@FeatherGlow1]

Can anyone tell me what song Bert is playing at 3:16? I recognise it but I can't recall what it is.

[@FeatherGlow1]

My wife told me its by Cold Play so once I knew that, it was easy to work out that it is "Clocks".

[@farfanugenmaster]

does this baby have weighted keys?

[@ArcadeFL]

@ferdinandodpark But korg m3 have more functions i want that. But its just my opinion... both are really good keyboards.

[@WARDISWARD]

04:11 So michael jackson got reincarnated as a rom sample inside the motif . Wow

[@JSprayaEntertainment]

MOXF6 All the power of the Motif XF for 1,200 thats dope ... PC editor software , 4 in 2 out interface included

[@Frankie_Fish]

i can't take it anymore... I WANT ONE!!! NOW!

[@AuraQualic]

I might buy this one! やべぇ買うかもしれないですねこれいい！

[@cyclopss2009]

It can't beat the Kronos. Wave ROM is SOOO out of date. We're talking SSD here gentlemen. ;-)

[@lewys93]

@farfanugenmaster The XF8 does, the XF7 and XF6 don't

[@lln7065]

Human Nature!!!!!!!!! I have to GET ONE!!!!!!!

[@FunkMauzz]

hahahahahahaaaaaaa , Bert is Tha Bomb , great guy ,

[@JSprayaEntertainment]

the Yamaha MOXF is out ... and has all the power of the motif xf !.. man ... you just bought a motif XF ?

[@rolandgerard6064]

Bert made me do it ;-)

[@prototypep4]

I'm sorry but look, playability, customization and sample data are all going to the Kronos. I don't doubt that the Motif's are good but Korg have really got it down better.

[@str8rippin0mlg]

it seems like i would just be paying for an xs with more rom :( if your gonna get a keyboard this expensive, get a Korg Kronos.

[@Teucizapan1969]

I HAVE ONE, NOW!!!!

[@ArcadeFL]

@ferdinandodpark But both are too expensive...

[@Awesome64Guy]

He looks like Adam savage from mythbusters lol

[@BlacksmithVRS]

"Viva el XF"

[@ArcadeFL]

@IvanL33 Whaat ? Korg M3 is better.

[@StudioRon]

we share motif sounds

[@bsr2002]

MOXF doesn't have after touch

[@Teflonali]

@JosepC27 sorry it actually is..Im hungry thats why..Lol

[@sy7654]

ははは、最高♪

[@ferdinandodpark]

i have 3 korg: micro x, R3, and microkorg

[@Coowallsky]

@laertof No, really! Let's hear it!

[@andym28]

Did anyone else think of Techno Viking

[@BejoLaszlo]

Hoppá.

[@foxybrown2]

@IvanL33 Do not do it. stop the train LOL what your loyalty to korg man

[@itsadamjosh]

Ben can sell me a broken piano...

[@JSprayaEntertainment]

cant sample either i dont think

[@pcuimac]

Bert is on steroids. ;)

[@rolandgerard6064]

I have one :-)

[@miamigroove]

Micro-Kid!!!

[@str8rippin0mlg]

@cyclopss2009 and 9 different synth engines !!!!!!!!!!!

[@Envergure]

Personally, I wouldn't want one of these. It's too complicated. I would like to see a sampler with a great sound and simple parameters, with similar functionality to things made in the 80s. Not made to be a substitute studio. Just my preference.

[@mistahlen4719]

Bert should be illegal! How can you watch this and NOT go out and by one.

[@YoshimusicLive]

The only downside of MOTIF XF is that the sound stops imideately when changing the sound to another...

[@Coowallsky]

+Danny Benthien Depends on which mode you're in.

[@kreg001]

@JesusKid2006 rememba the time

[@Teflonali]

@JosepC27 so wrong

[@Coowallsky]

@laertof You tell us.

[@MIKEGOSSELIN]

This guy needs the bathroom ...bad

[@Coowallsky]

"if your gonna get a keyboard this expensive, get a Korg Kronos." Why?

[@bigkingsha]

Dude your keyboard stand looks a little weak. Not sure if i'd want my $3K investment bouncing around like that while i'm playing.

[@ferdinandodpark]

@HaatoSK Yamaha is made in Japan better!!
