Bro thank you!! I've been playing this exact model for my church but have never been able to take the time to learn how to set my own sounds. You showed exactly the 2 sounds I use the most (piano and pad). THANK YOU!
Bro....I've had my Motif since they came out. I've NEVER learned how to perform this task and you showed how t do it very simple and plain. I now can venture into a new creative mode by layering my sounds. Thank you VERY much!
Damn dude wow. Just bought myself a used motif es8 and man I’m loving this thing . Had no idea what those knobs were for. Going to have some fun now thanks to you.
Thank you for your time. Great helpful video. Got this beauty 17 years ago, since then never change keyboards.It's such a beautiful instrument indeed. I learned though to be very very soft-touch with the buttons, they go pretty quick, also the overall handling when playing out which can damage the hardware and never plug it straight to the wall rather use a PC battery back up, about 50 bucks, the motif motherboard, sound quality, life of the instrument and your wallet will appreciate it. I learned the hard way.
You just demystified this keyboard for me. I got plopped in front of one of these beasts at our second campus. Now I can bring a little bit more vibe. Thanks for teaching an old dog some new tricks. Blessings :)
Perfect! I just bought a Motif ES and it's a lil' overwhelming. Your explanation was simple and to the point. Please post (or message me) some more tips if you have any... Jam On!
This was a good lesson....I have been not doing this....and I have had my instrument for a couple of years......I really like to have a Horn on top with Piano accompaniment.and this will do the trick....great can't wait to try it right NOW!!!!
Thanks for the video bro. Been trying to get this for a while now. One thing though the Korg is so much easier to use and very much user friendly with the touch screen.
i agree im a korg user for more than 10 years. BECAUSE ITS EASY TO PROGRAM. BUT HONESTLY THE SOUNDS ARE BETTER ON THE MOTIF SPECIALLY ACOUSTIC SOUNDS. THATS Y I BOUGHT A USED ES6.
Thank you bro. Now I can unlock the potential of my motif! Have you got other mixes that’s perfect for worship music? Or was that the only one in your tutorial?
Wow, excellent video. I never knew how to layer sounds like that. Question, can you make a video on setting up a USER bank which stores sounds for a live gig? I use the favorits function. However, it is not efficient and I can't find what I am looking for in the es6 owners manual. Thanks for any help. Steve
Dude, SO simple. What are your favorite pads in the ES8? I'm looking for pads like you hear in Hillsong, Bethel, etc... but a lot of these pads are really simple/old school. What's the best way to customize really good pad sounds? Samples? Layer/performance mode?
Thanks man! My favorite is one called "Analog". It's a great base for playing piano over and it doesn't go crazy. It's also very customizable with cutoff & resonance parameter knobs. "Simple Air" is also good.
i have problems to use my Mc 707 with my new toy Yamaha Motif 7 , i only want to use the Motif as a soundmodule in 16 parts midi multitimbral setup, how to do this?
Hi, if I load a VOICE with sampled components, such as Organ Session, when I turn off the keyboard I cancel the samples causing the VOICE not to work? If I put this VOICE in a PERFORMANCE, do I only lose in real time volume controls (drowbars effect) or also the samples? So the solution is to put the usb stick in AUTOLOAD and always load the samples every time the keyboard is turned on? Thank you
Great video. Would you know how to assign an organ patch to an external controller with faders? I have the rack motif es and I would love to split up the four voices in an organ patch using my M Audio Radium 49 controller with faders.
Do you have any videos on how to sample using the es6? I am looking for directions on taking a piece from a CD and adding it to a single key on the Yamaha. Thanks Steve
I have the es 88 keys as my master keyboard and I have the es rack midi to it. I would like to have separate control on the 88's Knob Control Function section so I can change one sound module and and not have both sound modules affected. How can I separate the keyboard and the rack functions? thanks.
Thanks for the good tips , one question I have motif xf , after doing what you did ,how can I add a percussion loop to the set up ,to play alone , once again thanks
Is there anyway to save the voice preset into a user file and use it in the Pattern mode. When I turn on the motif xs 8, there is a sound called Rain Pad in the music effects setting. It has arp and other setting already assigned. Can I save that sound to a user preset and find it when I'm in the pattern mode? I tried saving the sound, but I can't find that preset when in the pattern mode.
Question! (Awesome tutorial by the way) I have the same keyboard, and I already set up my performance with the voices that I want and I got it saved so that if I turn the keyboard off it saves the performance how I left it. However, what bugs me is that every time I turn on my keyboard, it automatically opens on a different performance than the one I saved. It opens on the same performance every time. So every time I turn it on, I have to scroll to the performance that I made (which is the only one I use). It's VERY frustrating especially at church, because any time that some one who doesn't know how to use this keyboard turns it on, they expect to play and hear piano but instead that get some weird sounds. Then I have to get up and scroll to the right voice or performance. I imagine that there is a way that I can change the setting so that it opens on my performance when I turn on the keyboard automatically. How do I do that? Once again, awesome tutorial, hope to hear from you soon!
Hi bro, do you know how to change the octave of each instrument, i mean, i want to play 2 piano sounds but with difetent octave, for instance, when i press C2, i want to hear C2 in one piano sound and C3 in the other at the same time. I hope you can help me. Regards
I tried to do this, I only made up to Initialized Performance. but after I try to press F2 for Voice, it doesnt let me. im stuck at this point. I did everything else correct. Why is this?
Hi! Thank you so much for this video! I just used it to set up our keyboard at Road to Life Church. I do have a question though :) Is there any way that I can save multiple settings like this? Where I could have one layer option with certain sounds and another layer option with other sounds? And is there also a way that we can keep the new saved file we just made (from this video) but still go back to the normal and original home option (at the same time that the new layers were saved). Sorry if this is confusing!
thx 4 the help. Is there a way to save more areas similar to saving a song or pattern mode where you can just create your own folder veresus performance mode that only has a certain number of layering. Thanks again - Andrew
Socrates Perez Never knew that about the sliders & the "locking" mechanism... Such a needed feature to prevent values from jumping around lol. I only wonder about how it reacts when you STORE the sliders "all over the place" like you mentioned at 8:09... Does it lock at whatever random value as it does as maximum/minimum value??? And does this also apply to the S90es & the Motif 8 Classic? My S90es is the mail, & the Motif 8 Classic is on layaway lol
Yeah, that "locking feature" threw me for the longest time. I thought maybe I needed a new battery because my programs weren't being stored correctly - btw, the Motif ES has no battery like some old synths that had to be replaced periodically. Thanks, +Socrates Perez.
Not sure about the S90, but yes it'll lock in at any value that you set it to. Not just minimum and maximum. I've even used it to make one big mega-sound where it only has half of one synth and 75% or another blended together.
Hey bro, does this synth have the same polyphony as the MO series? I have serious polyphony issues when I create performances. The individual voices are fine in voice mode but as soon as I create any performance, I get dropped notes left and right even when I disable the sustain for one or even both of the voices.

I literally just bought the Morif 6,it’s May 2024 and I absolutely love the sounds and quality of the keyboard
Congrats, I just bought the MO8, which is very similar. Power to the old synths.
Bro thank you!! I've been playing this exact model for my church but have never been able to take the time to learn how to set my own sounds. You showed exactly the 2 sounds I use the most (piano and pad). THANK YOU!
Thanks so much! As a drummer/guitarist vocalist, I wasn't sure how to do this! I'm a bit of a newby on keys, and this REALLY helped!! God bless!
This is a timeless tutorial!! It’s 2024 and I needed to know this! Thank you!!
Bro....I've had my Motif since they came out. I've NEVER learned how to perform this task and you showed how t do it very simple and plain. I now can venture into a new creative mode by layering my sounds. Thank you VERY much!
THANK YOU!!!! This was the best demonstration ever. It was quick and straight to the point
Thank you for an excellent job demonstrating how to layer this keyboard. Thank you for zooming in so we can see the screen.
Thanks for taking time to explain this. So far it’s the only one that was quick and easy to understand 👍🏼
Damn dude wow. Just bought myself a used motif es8 and man I’m loving this thing . Had no idea what those knobs were for. Going to have some fun now thanks to you.

I learned the hard way.
pc battery backup? computer?
THIS WAS SOOOOO HELPFUL...I've been looking for simple instructions and everyone has always made this complicated. THANK YOU!
You just demystified this keyboard for me. I got plopped in front of one of these beasts at our second campus. Now I can bring a little bit more vibe. Thanks for teaching an old dog some new tricks. Blessings :)
Perfect! I just bought a Motif ES and it's a lil' overwhelming. Your explanation was simple and to the point. Please post (or message me) some more tips if you have any... Jam On!
Thank you so much, I got S90es, you made it easy to layer especially the piano range thing ❤
Dam this is amazing video man! No idea how i haven’t seen this!!!!
Woow, God richly bless you. You broke these things down very well.
Fantastic video, thank you so much. We have just bought the MO8 for our church which is hopefully pretty similar layout. This will help A LOT!
This was a good lesson....I have been not doing this....and I have had my instrument for a couple of years......I really like to have a Horn on top with Piano accompaniment.and this will do the trick....great can't wait to try it right NOW!!!!
Thank you very much! Your lesson was easy to understand and follow along.
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you so Much!!! Very great tips for playing live worship! Blessings.
I used that Motif7 for 6 years and I didnt know that! Thanks man!
Thanks for the video bro. Been trying to get this for a while now. One thing though the Korg is so much easier to use and very much user friendly with the touch screen.
i agree im a korg user for more than 10 years. BECAUSE ITS EASY TO PROGRAM. BUT HONESTLY THE SOUNDS ARE BETTER ON THE MOTIF SPECIALLY ACOUSTIC SOUNDS. THATS Y I BOUGHT A USED ES6.
+Jade Pascual I agree which is why I bought a MOX8.
i had a Triton Pro, nice touchscreen, but cheap keys & meh sounds. Ive always heard the Motif sounds better..but Korg Wavestation & M1 are legends, so
thanks for the video man. i just bought an es6. the sliders are very important thats y i chose es6 rather than the moxf6.
Straight to the point thanks my dude !
Great Video! you explain thing very well !
Thank you so much. This was so useful and very straightforward in the manner you explained it. I really appreciate it!
Excellent demonstration. Couldn't be more thorough. Great job man!!! Thanks a million. How can you use your created performance patches in MIDI?
Gotta be done in song mode using a master mix
Very good video, thank you.
Great Video ! Thank you for taking the time to teach. ...
Thanks Perez, this is really helpful.
Thank you bro. Now I can unlock the potential of my motif! Have you got other mixes that’s perfect for worship music? Or was that the only one in your tutorial?
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Big help!!! Thanks for taking the time.
THANK YOU... I Have a Motif xf6, and this was very useful..
I’d like to set bass and piano on mines for the main performance 2nd sound will be piano and vintage
Grasias brother !!! Me ayudo bastante 🙏🏻God bless you!!!!!

Thank you sir
Thanks much!
Is there anyway to expand memory or save the perf to a seperate area so I don’t delete (save over) existing perf?
I have this keyboard for almost 7 years. How come I did not know about this? FUCK!
Dude, SO simple. What are your favorite pads in the ES8? I'm looking for pads like you hear in Hillsong, Bethel, etc... but a lot of these pads are really simple/old school. What's the best way to customize really good pad sounds? Samples? Layer/performance mode?

Exactly what i needed!!!!
How did you get the analog pad on the fourth layer. I can’t find the pad on mine
Great video. Would you know how to assign an organ patch to an external controller with faders? I have the rack motif es and I would love to split up the four voices in an organ patch using my M Audio Radium 49 controller with faders.
Estou com a mesma dúvida....
In voice mode there is a piano with a string on the fader. How can I make that a rhodes with strings
Great Video ! Thanks !! Rich Gurtler
Thanks for sharing, I applied and it all works, God bless!!!
Thank´s for your help!! this is a great video!

EXCELLENT! Thank you.
Great!!!!

GodBLessyou!!!!!!!!
Right
This is lovely, thank you so much...
Do you have any videos on how to sample using the es6? I am looking for directions on taking a piece from a CD and adding it to a single key on the Yamaha.
Thanks
Steve
Awesome Video!
Thanks for the video. Better than yamaha video and manual. Thanks
so helpful, thank you!!!
I have the es 88 keys as my master keyboard and I have the es rack midi to it. I would like to have separate control on the 88's Knob Control Function section so I can change one sound module and and not have both sound modules affected. How can I separate the keyboard and the rack functions? thanks.
Can you assign a pad to a expression or volume petal? So you can be playing piano and then fade in strings with a petal for hands free switching?
Hermano selecciono todo y me manda a otra función cuando preciono una tecla me manda a otra función que será
u r d best
Thank you!
I'm still learning...I have the xf8 and have 8sliders, are we only allowed to only layer 4sounds???

Im trying to do the same thing on motif classic
Could I use this with the yamaha mo8? Just bought one today! Socrates Perez
I tried to do this, I only made up to Initialized Performance. but after I try to press F2 for Voice, it doesnt let me. im stuck at this point. I did everything else correct. Why is this?

Hi, I have a yamaha motif xs7, and is quite similar with yours. Is the setting the same when I wanna layering the sound like yours?
How do you turn down layered sounds on the motif es rack?
Looking for a hammond b3 sound
please can u do same on the motif xf8.layering sounds on the xf8 .thank you
I want this keyboard One day

The individual voices are fine in voice mode but as soon as I create any performance, I get dropped notes left and right even when I disable the sustain for one or even both of the voices.
So useful
good lessons
How do you change the name?
Thank you
The problem with this is that it eats up your polyphony when you use all 4 sounds at once. Korg and Roland are the same way.
Yanni combines 5 sounds in 1 piano
What do i so if I can't sustain it I do this and can't sustain my sounds
