yamaha motif xf programming with the "gospel guy"tutorial #5

[@Craner94]

Randy jenkins needs to release a DVD on playing, his chords are so serious, I'd be the first to buy it!

[@biggeemac]

Love these tutorials from someone who obviously isn't trying to hoard his knowledge. Keep em comin !

[@SriharshaaPrabhakar]

Thanks so much for sharing so many Tips and Tricks. Randy Jenkins "Gospel Guy" is really amazing. I just created a new patch on my Motif XS8 watching some of the tips here and it sounds amazing. Thanks once again and you guys are really doing a fantastic job!!!

[@tawtam1]

When you stated you didn't mind sharing, I appreciate the fact that you guys are not arrogant like some guys. Those of us that are less versed appreciate the fact you don't mind showing others.

[@terryricks7098]

Randy Jenkins is the man. Right around 28:23 somewhere he just makes me want to listen to Chick Corea Elektric Band. Nice job as always bro!

[@sdenniscrosby]

Thank y'all sooo much! I've just recently started getting into programming and these videos saved me a year of gradually figuring things out on my own. I got a motif rack, triton rack, and a 3080. It's about to get real

[@jerrelmontgomery3176]

nord is the only one that has mastered the organ sound beside a hammond.

[@Gospelplaya1000]

i don't there were talking about plugins or vsts lol. I think they were actually talking about the actually board itself lol

[@88KeysMan]

Great vid! I've been getting into this kind of stuff more and more as time goes on.

[@TNKeys]

It was actually E! by Grey Matter that was the Mod for the DX7.

[@beatrocka5]

..wish you'd have taken the plastic off the screen!!

[@beatrocka5]

I've got to go through this whole vid again; I tried to duplicate all of the functions, and I guess that I got lost somewhere, cause my end result sounded like crap!! Good info, though.Ted Twis

[@deonlundy6363]

Man this guy is sick! I don't know squat about editing sounds in comparison to him! Where can I contact him at?? lol

[@collectivethoughts1379]

gospel guy I missed you in delaware --hope you come back

[@DeyquanBowens]

We need #6 please!

[@vick3554]

HI SEBASTIAN... PLEASE MORE OF THIS PRACTICAL VIDEOS..... WE NEED IT......

[@JoelBouchillon]

What's up with the plastic film layered over the window??

[@jakejacobs126]

Its the film that ships with new devices. Some owners dont take thiers off. Bugs the heck out of me too. To each his own.

[@Michaelfromfremont]

Great job!!! I'm a fan!!!

[@adjm3314]

Hey Sebastian, Can you please do a video on how to edit that sound "HUGO BASS" on the Roland XV-3080... the one he called "Peanut Butter" and also do a tutorial on the V-Synth the one he has.....

[@patsonnyakudya8487]

hi how do i change from Mono to Poly on Yamaha Montage Help me Please

[@istominmusic]

I love MOTIF!!!!

[@brandonamador4164]

whats great shout patch I can use?

[@luvgospel6633]

I have an xs6. I notice sometimes my sound change. what is the best gospel piano setting for this keyboard?

[@georgewilliams7227]

Love this brothers knowledge , but disagree with his eq choices. The highs are for clarity . The mids are for definition, the lows are for warmth. Low mids do create that " boxy" sound, he loses some of the cleanest of his sound, but I the key word is HIS sound. Thank for the abundance info. I truly appreciate this video. It's like my 10th watching it. Blessings

[@CalvinLimuel]

how about organ sound from VST like Mainstage, Kontakt and such

[@blessedep7]

awesome video

[@olesolja1407]

Deep. Thanks for posting this.

[@dawaynebolden]

My after touch on the motif classic seems to do nothing ,, could you guys help me out

[@sends2aaron]

No.

[@MrVasicM]

Can you do this editing on a moxf?

[@Gospelplaya1000]

i believe so

[@DEHPONDIGULLYSIDE]

i have a motif XS, and I've edited the the patches in voice mode, saved them, but when i try to bring up the sounds in performance mode, they have none of the modifications that i did ( i.e. the aftertouch ) dose any one know if there is a step I'm missing because of the fact that I'm using and XS and not an XF?

[@emilshere]

If you run the b4 thru a leslie you will believe trust me!

[@mrdali67]

Nice video, but what mhunkie did the CC's ... Is that Google ? 😂

[@malcolmpope8090]

How do we accomplish these same tweeks on the motif es8.

[@its_james88perry51]

Most everything he's teaching translates to the es8. I'm able to follow him 99% on my es8. If you know the terminology you can make the exact same tweaks. Even the sounds he's using are in the es8. Inda night is there. Bass pedal is there. Ballad keys is there. What he says is true. Do not go out and buy the latest when this es8 is so so deep. Saved me some serious cash. Now I'm creating sounds and playing them over click tracks in performance mode. So dope!

[@mariovarnado387]

I already purchased it

[@972Ludwig]

so, I've the ES6 . I twick my sounds how I want them to sound etc, but when I'm in perform mode I lose all my parameters.... That make me like ....hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@vick3554]

RANDY JENKINS!!!! IS THE MAN

[@KellBailey]

Yoo why don't he got a Facebook or nothing ????

[@danielkinney9407]

they don't ANSWER anyone's questions. Not sure whats up with that.

[@emilshere]

They need to play the NAtive Instruments B4 to believe they mastered Hammond in software cause they pretty much did....

[@Gospelplaya1000]

i don't there were talking about plugins or vsts lol. I think they were actually talking about the actually board itself lol

[@chicoandtheman7599]

Organs are pretty much the easiest instrument to emulate. Any B4 organ, made any practically any synth made after 2000, is going to sound superb, while B4s on many 80's-90's synths sound great too. The B4 on my Korg Kronos X, Kurzeril PC3K & Alesis Fusion sound amazing & authentic, while the organs on my Triton, TR-Rack, Motif Classic, EX5, XV5080, etc, sound great. Even the organs on my vintage, 1980's era, Poly 800, DW8000 & CZ-1 sound really good.

[@DarylWiseJr]

Gerry No Not to argue but I disagree. From my experience the Hammond Organ is the most difficult to emulate. I have a friend who puts together and restores Hammonds and he let me play on a B3 he restored. And to this day, he says from all the keyboards he's played, from American to foreign to even Virtual instruments, no one has yet to create the complete go to organ sound to can hold a candle to the real thing, and I agree. Those synths you mentioned, especially the old ones are just sampled sounds with the waveforms repeating over and over. Sure it might sound "good" but to say it sounds real, I disagree. Now don't get me wrong, VST's and some keyboards are just getting there feet wet with coming close to the real thing as to the modeling side. Any professional knows you can't do it with just samples, but when you model you go from the ground up making it organic. But some VSTs do have it pretty close with key click noise, percussion, drive, tone wheel or cabinet selection, vibrato selection, realtime drawbar adjustments, and mic positioning but there is alot more that needs to be added. Alot of VSTs nowadays (not gonna touch keyboards) are set for certain styles of music instead of just being the real thing that can do ANY music. Like one might be just for Jazz, one for R&B or funk. Hammond didn't release the B3J (B3 jazz) or the B3F (B3 funk), its just a good ol' B3 that can do some good ol Jazz or some foot stomping Gospel at any time. I have yet to see just one emulation, not patches or different software but one REAL Hammond emulation that can cover all genres and just live up to the REAL thing.

[@KynMahone]

***** I have to agree with you...when I first started playing, I had a EMU XL7. Maaaaan, making organ and rhodes patches were a trip to create. One of the best keyboards with an organ patch was the Ensoniq SD1...I gotta get that board again LOL

[@chicoandtheman7599]

Yamaha's Motif line had a good run & was/is a great synth, (I have a Motif 6/classic w/PLG150-AN & DX) but all good things must eventually come to an end. Yamaha has fallen FAR beyond Korg & needs to do something new/different, or get back to basics. I don't know what Yamaha has against analog & VA/Analog modeling. They did it (analog/VA) so well & there is a market it. Yamaha's decision to drop the PLG-150 expansion boards after the ES, was a deciding factor in my refusal to buy a XF or XS. (went w/a Kronos X 88 & PC3K6) There is no buzz or hype w/Yamaha. No news about any potential new products. Are they exiting the high end, synth/workstation market altogether? If they made am analog "CS-5, 10, or 15 mini" (like Korg's MS-20 mini, which are selling like hotcakes) people would definitely buy it. The AN1x was much loved & sold well. Why not another modeling synth? Something mid-priced like Korg's KingKorg would be cool, or even an fordable VA synth like the MicroKorg. (which selling EXTREMELY well & is STILL in production since 2004) There is still a market for "FM Synthesis" & Yamaha has always been the undisputed king of that realm. Why not a new FM synth &/or DX remake? I really don't know what (if any) plans Yamaha has for the future, which is currently looking rather dim.

[@rolandgerard6064]

Hi Gerry No, why far beyond korg? i have a motif xf8 and a kronos, there are quite complementary. The Yamaha sounds are fantastic.the pattern mode of the motif cannot be beaten ;-), i enjoy the integration with Cubase too..

[@chicoandtheman7599]

+Roland Gerard After messing around with the XF at a local Guitar Center, I've now actually considered buying an XF6. You've had yours for awhile, so maybe you could answer a question for me? From what I understand, sounds/programs on the XF are made up of "elements", & each program can have up to 8 elements. I've read that the XF has 18 different digital filters. Here is my question: Can you choose a different filter for each individual "element"? Also, can you assign different LFO, modulation, & control source, etc, for each individual element? (by "control source" I mean pitch/mod wheel, sliders, etc. Can each individual "element" be controlled by a different source, or does it just affect the entire program/all the elements?

[@dulowceed]

+Gerry No Yes, you can edit each individual element and set the LFO, modulation, & control source for each element. Instead of common edit you go to element edit mode and make the individual changes and save them...I have a Motif XF6 and it's right on point when it comes to creating your own unique sounds and tweaking them.

[@chicoandtheman7599]

+Ceed 3D Awesome. That's a huge help. Thanks for the info. I'd like to ask a few more questions, if you don't mind? How are the filters on the Motif XF? Are you pretty smooth? Are the able to create good "analog" type synth sounds? Also, how are the effect processors? Are there a lot of effects & are they of food quality? I've been wanting a Motif XF for awhile, (I have the original w/PLG150-AN installed) but passed on it twice. (for a Kurzweil PC3K & then an Access Virus TI2) I'm big into analog modeling/virtual analog synths more than samplers & romplers. (& already have a Kronos X) But IMO, as long as a sampler has good digital filters, a variety of LFO, modulation, & control source, a decent number of "elements"/voices, & the inability to individually control & edit each voice, essentially it can be a powerful "synthesizer". When that's the case, the line between "analog modeling"/virtual analog synths & "sampler", becomes somewhat blurred. (& there really isn't much the virtual analog synth can do, that the sampler can't) Part of me wants to buy a DSI Prophet 12, part of me wants to by 3-4 lesser synths (like Korg KingKorg + Waldorf Pulse 2 + Roland System-1, etc) & part of me really wants a Motif XF. It's such a hard choice. Thanks again for the info.

[@diggyonutube]

Eureka! I get it now

[@CarlyWaarly]

To confusing, what tutorial, focus on what the title reflects there is too much waffle!

[@aluiciouskeddish]

y'all too scatter brain for me. Y'all supposed yo be reviewing the Motif and y'all talking bout all kinds of other boards. my attention span can't take this. smh

[@골룸-k2n]

아따 시끄럽네

[@terrancejackson3]

Keyboards are a thing of the past soft synths are the future. This is a $4000 paper weight and my macbook with 500 gigs of software synths can run circles around this overpriced keyboard. My GSI VB3 can compete with any Hammond Organ and guess what I can take that everywhere I go on gigs. Can't do that with a Hammond and Leslie

[@browserspot7977]

terrancejackson3 I have a feeling you know nothing about music.

[@mrdali67]

The problem with softsynths and a pc/Mac is that you still need a serious i/o device if your a Pro musician that Will cost you more than the 4-6000 that a motif or chronos Will cost you. Its off cause a personal decission but personally i wouldnt trust even a mac with a buttload off vst's over a motif or chronos on a live gig any day or night. Its a maybe 10-15% chance on every gig that the computer WILL lock up against a maybe top 0.1% chance the keyboard breaks down. In the studio.. YEs... Gimmi All the vst's i can get (and the motif is made for Working with Cubase) So ... Its a pretty easy choice. Hardware synths is not gone and wont be any time soon. And it has Yamaha written All over it. And to the other Yamaha bashers... Yamaha owns Korg and they have a mega user base of motif users, so they let Korg show what the future of hardware/software synths is currently with Cronos. Motif is not dead even with nearly 14 years of reign as propably the most popular sample workstation ever made Sure it could be more user friendly and a touch display..etc. ... But it still gets the job done. Remember how people loved bashing the dx7 for its programming horror ... It still rocked and it still was one of the top keyboard for a decade or more

[@carloscastellanos7438]

+terrancejackson3 Software is great, until your computer crashes in the middle of a gig. There's undeniable stability issues with software setups right now... There's a lot of merit to using a keyboard like a motif.
