I have never seen a man like this before!! With all the passion for what he does.. and the fact is..doesn't matter which keyboard brand he is introducing.. I will definitely hire him to sell mine!!! You're great man!!
Having a lot of tools in my arsenal, such as Montage, or other analog synthesizers, I very often go to my ES7 and spend many hours behind it. This is an amazing Motif series, ES7 will be used by me for many many years) I send greetings to all the owners of the Motif ES series, you are beautiful💪💪
Say what you will.... this is the best product specialist I have ever seen. Usually takes others at least twice the time to go through what he did. Very well done.
O melhor motif pois a placa de som dele equipada foi a melhor, jogando um som com um punch violento para o PA, junto com o jogo de teclas, que praticamente não gasta.
If you are going to spend time doing something (this is if, you can even make a decent composition to begin with), spend the time learning and experimenting with processing. Compressors, Limiters, Eq, Reverb, delay etc. Once you know exactly how they work, and techniques used, and you can hear the impact you can make with the simplest bass drum sample(sometimes its only needed to trigger the fx chain), you'll be flying. Next step is understanding where everything sits in the frequency spectrum
@KushLesko From what I can tell this synth is aimed at players that want a wide range of realistic sounds and I think it delivers. If you wanted up to date sounds then you need to be using analogue and programming your sounds or the latest software plugins or something like a V-synth.
Really? I bought my ES8,brand new, a few months ago. SamAsh was trying to sell their remaining stock before introducing the XS models. I still have to explore the machine's capabilities. Thanks for the info.
hi eliecalano!:D The choice of keyboard depends on its use. If you play in gigs, and want to have the best song writing tool,then MotifES61 is the way to go.But if you wish to play at home,w/ some accompaniment, PSRs900 is very good. But IMO, if the price tag is not an issue, I'd definitely go for the MotifES61!i'm a Filipino who used to work for Yamaha musical instruments here in the Philippines,play keyboard too. hope i was able to help!:D
Yes you can. Here is a guide. Due to the ignorant policy of NOT allowing URLs in You Tube, I can not give you the guide. Therefore, I will tell you to put in "Fruity Loops and Motif ES" in google. You will find that the very first link has your answer. It is on the Future Producers website under forums. Good Luck.
Halion Sonic is reminiscent of the Yamaha Motif series. Well chances are many of Halion Sonic's sounds came from Yamaha Motif. I don't think Bert should smack the buttons though because you can damage the micro switches by putting that much force on them.
The Yamaha Motif XS series does NOT support Yamaha PLG Plug in boards. Taking that into account, you can do a whole lot MORE with the ES series than the XS series. For instance, if you wish to play the sounds from the Yamaha DX series i.e., DX 7 DX7 FIID, you can NOT use them on the XS series! Therefore, the Motif ES series can do MORE than this series!
I've had an ES6 for years and I've never gotten the whole sequencer thing figured out. Fortunately, I midi in to Sonar for alot of stuff, and/or just capture the audio of an ES font. So considering I'm not using a good percentage of its capabilities, I'm still able to get done what I need with it. I will look for 'ease of use' as a criteria for my next keyboard tho. Motif has a different set of menus depending on the mode yer in, sometimes thats quite a pain.
Why does this sound better than the Montage M?? The Motif XF sounds inside the montage M sound pretty thin and lifeless, but here these AMW2 patches sound amazing!
Watching this years later, I can say it's pretty cheesy. But Bert's enthusiasm and playing are spectacular (check out other videos) and my Motif ES7 (bought in 2006) still sounds amazing and gets regular use in my studio. Wouldn't mind upgrading, of course...the XF is looking sharp.
Am I seeing things? Or, does the keys appear to be compressing by themself when the music starts? At first I said it was the shadow from his arm but, even when he puts his hands in his lap the keys still appear to be moving.
I read a review of the XS series and they guy gave it a 4 out of 5. Complaining that the XS no longer has STEP RECORDING or SEQUENCING capabilities. How important is that on the keyboard when you have software available? Overall the reviewer likes the sounds..but did state that a lot of the ES7 sounds are also gone.. Any input from anyone who has played/owned both ES series and now play/own the XS? I'm thinking of buying the XS7 myself.
HELP! one question, i was thinking of getting a triton studio 61 key, but it has no usb just cd and floppy, HOW do i send the beat that i made on a triton or ANY workstation and port it to the computer ( do i need usb for that) or how please help!!!
The Motif ES series can also use the breath controller and this series can NOT! With all of the various plug in boards, there are possibly endless sounds that the Motif ES series can produce as opposed to the XS series.
This guy is the best product demonstrator ever!
Agreed👌👌👌
The greatest in the history of product demonstrators 😂❤

motif es8 owner and Roland fantom x8 owner :D
Respect es6 owner still rocking
Much respect 🙏 and I agree 👍🏽

This still sounds pretty fantastic for what it is supposed to do.
Dope video, this workstation is sick even in 2014.
He's a very talented keyboard player. And the Yamaha sounds great!
I have a Korg Oasys, a Triton Extreme, a Pc3X, a Korg Radias, a Roli seaboard....... And I'm still watching this like whooooa..
Your studio is still incomplete without yamaha motif
@@augustinenathan266or incomplete with anything Yamaha...!
@makximumlive years have passed and in the meantime I have added Montage and an S90es 😅 Sooner or later I will also buy a Motif es, I'm sure about it
I have been watching this man for over 18 years... I really want to meet him .
He is a musical GIANT
his job on "i wish" is fantastic
Way to respond to a 7 years old comment. This video was a blast from the past, thanks!
That was the best product demo I have ever seen, congrats Bert.
I love his performances.
Lots of humor!
The Motif ES has still got some great sounds in 2014 - I love it anyway! :-)
I've got one at your right
Its now 2019 and it still sounds awesome amazing
2020 better than modx imo
@@yeoldmedic7572 yeeesss made in Japan
@@instrumentalistjade8367 In 2019 I bought Halion 6 and many
the sounds in that are based on each generation of Motif.
🤠✌🏻You Are A Great Keyboardist My Friend!🤠✌🏻
Glad I can play this video over and over again, he bloody flew thru all of the features! *information overload*
It's fun to watch this guy play 'cause he just loves it so much :D
Love to see this guy talk about how he makes a cup of tea
O melhor Motif já criado pela Yamaha, mas vocês não estão preparados pra essa conversa rs! 👏🏽👏🏽😍
Concordo
O melhor motif pois a placa de som dele equipada foi a melhor, jogando um som com um punch violento para o PA, junto com o jogo de teclas, que praticamente não gasta.
It’s all in the machine over dare, I like the one with the Bellend hammer keyboard.
I remember when this came out and was impressed that the guitar actually sounded like a guitar....
65Superhawk
Even tho I actually play guitar, I git a kick out of playing guitar stuff n2 da Motif sequencer.
Energie , kennis en vaardigheden......
dat wekt afgunst Bert
hahaha this dude is on fire ! lovely review. Im watching it whenever Im having a bad day.
Yup💯

Зашел ради этого чувака!
2024 here. i saw this video on 2007, and i came back time to time. One of the first videos i saw on youtube i think
He grew up in the late 60's & early 70's and never came back down....... :)
2:25 - Multitrack.
What a master. Woww. 👏👏👏
Disco beat ftw :D Just tested this synth in a store and loved it.
I want to buy this Yamaha. In 2023. Best product manager. Seriously
The cheese factor of this video is massive, and i love it!
Haha! This guy made me buy this thing back then. And I'm still happy with it!
I love the yamaha demo songs.
wow so awesome the motif es 6 was always my favorite key board and the S90 =]
His Hammond organ EXPLOSION is great stuff
that guy should be on tv, i could watch him all day
Same
The algorithm works in mysterious ways... and I'm not complaining.
i think this guy forgot to take his medication!
the problem is he DID take it.
lol
Zariis (Official): Nope I am sure he smoked it a few minutes before recording the video...
I love the way he brings "SlapBert" to our attention.
This guy could sell an Eskimo a broken refrigerator :)
Best video on the internet.

I debating between the ES or XS? Obviously XS is new and has the most current technology and sounds...but ES is less expensive..
cooocaiiine bro
lol
Gotta like his enthusiasm.. ;-)
+Laurence Vanhelsuwe I do, he is funny. Especially his dutch accent ; )
Really? I bought my ES8,brand new, a few months ago. SamAsh was trying to sell their remaining stock before introducing the XS models. I still have to explore the machine's capabilities. Thanks for the info.
I love this guy
holy crap. love this guys passion.
How the drums?
This is Adam Savage that demonstrates the Yamaha Motif ES
it's a awesome instrument
Satya Dhara
YUPPERZ!!!
I love this guy! He demoed the MiniMo too!

@Lor27509 Motif ES has 1,787 Preset Apreggiators and 256 User Arpeggiators.
3:49 made me fall of my chair
Oh right cheers.
I've got Reason, so i'll just use that.
Nice one mate

They do. From the original Motif I think.
Remember all - with the Motif ES you can travel the world ;)
It does, the only thing the MO doesn't have is sampling. The MO is lighter though, the ES is a lil heavy.
The Yamaha Motif XS series does NOT support Yamaha PLG Plug in boards. Taking that into account, you can do a whole lot MORE with the ES series than the XS series.

What a incredible guy!
He's very dedicated , very engaged . I like it .
Very good video
those were some of the tightest beats ive ever heard
Indeed.

Maaaaaaan that keyboard is sooooo awesome!
I'm not sure whether to get the ES or the XS. I want to get the XS but the ES is less expensive. Plus the XF is out of my price range right now.
did anyone notice that the disco beat that he played was the same as T.I.'s "why you wanna?" lol
i love this guy。love this passion
@maccagrabme Actually you can get outstanding pads, sci-fi, chill, and ambient voices and performances from this board.
Better than anything out there.
that bass line is wicked smooth lol
OMFG, 11 YEARS AGO?!?!
omg this is amazing
like a disco beat!
Классный обзор! У чувака, определённо, шило в одном месте :)
"We're going to talk about this!" Uh, yeah.
Bert Smorenberg needs his own brand of coffee at Starbucks.
King of Kings!
I had a Yamaha motif es6 after college.
Watching this years later, I can say it's pretty cheesy. But Bert's enthusiasm and playing are spectacular (check out other videos) and my Motif ES7 (bought in 2006) still sounds amazing and gets regular use in my studio. Wouldn't mind upgrading, of course...the XF is looking sharp.

if i want to make trance,house.electronic music what i should buy?

I dont know if i buy a motif 6 or korg triton...??/
I need a workstation with a good sound quality..
HELP! one question, i was thinking of getting a triton studio 61 key, but it has no usb just cd and floppy, HOW do i send the beat that i made on a triton or ANY workstation and port it to the computer ( do i need usb for that) or how please help!!!
Cool....thanks for the suggestions..Any recommendations as far which brand on the multitrac recorder?
The only one I'm familiar with is Tascam..
такой энергичный парень, супер...
Yamaha motif is the best keyboard everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr created
what is the difference bet. motif 6 and motif 7 ?
I never get tired of this video, even in 2023
The Motif ES series can also use the breath controller and this series can NOT! With all of the various plug in boards, there are possibly endless sounds that the Motif ES series can produce as opposed to the XS series.
and how much does it cost?
Hi what is that little bar under the wheels on the left side if the keyboard?
Is it just me or does Motif ES is just like the MO6? At least at the main functions.
how much is this increadible pierce of equipment.
Hi Bert,
