This synthesizer was sent by heaven. And this dude simply goes nuts with it. I wish I could perform like he just did. Very nice review! This workstation is a MUST HAVE ... and it's only like 3500$ Kinda cheap^^
As always, Yamaha has pushed the envelope even further, and I hope it never stops. I have a Motif-ES and now I'm rearranging plans to make the upgrade. Having USB 2.0, sampler with 1gb, extra control over the voices and also never losing my ES data are great reasons to think religiously about the upgrade to XS. It's really worth the investment.
It's very simple and very practical playing great sounds and record them whenever you want at the YAMAHA MotifXS. It doesn't happen to my Korg Triton Le.
ok - now i'm confused - i just want a board that has great sounds - is it worth the extra 1400 euros to buy an XS instead of an MO8 ? The sampler option does look tempting but I'm not sure I'd ever use it !
Presently you can find these used for very cheap compared to what they cost when they were new! $1000 at the most!! What’s good besides the sounds is that this instrument samples as well as records audio!! The only thing that I don’t like about them is that they aren’t light in weight! They are rugged though for the road!
yes it does, the motif xs has everything from all the other motif key boards but this one has far more sounds music voices to but yes all they same stuff is in this model =]
The XS6, XS7 and XS8 have the same sounds, features and functions. The only differences are the number of keys and that the XS8 has IEEE1394 Firewire port as standard.
great keyboard !! I had a small question. As Bert says, there are lots of arpeggios which can recognize chords from our playing.. Is it possible to synthesize our own arpeggio in it ? For instance, if I have have to make my own guitar style, with strumming, picking and harmonics ?
what synth keyboard should i get im new to them and i would be playing trance techno electro house hardstyle and hardcore on the keyboard and1 got any idea what one i should get..??i was thinking bout the korg x50 is it good..??
Does anyone know if wav or mp3 samples from pc can be transfered to the xs for editing, applying fx and aranging? Also how many FX can be applied per channel? thx
hello bro, I just got amazed by this machin and it converged the whole ideas i had into only one place coz i`m about to make a littel home studio, anyway i got little query if you can help with it, U know I`m really intrested into the orintal music styles and i dont know if it supports the scales of them or not ???? help me please waiting for answers
@manofmusicproduction basic differences between the motif 6, 6es and the 6 xs . what im learning is that the es and xs are just new reissues with more sounds? thanks
Bert, that's impressive! Thanks for this cool demo. Just, I'm curious, some of the melodies and chords you play reminds me to some of my songs!! maybe we're somehow mentally connected :DD (look, particularly the chords on the accordion sounds very much my song Ballerina) Cheers. Gnomusy
This can be great on stage, but I think is more geared for the studio. For ive playing, check out the new Yamaha S90XS. It has alot of hands on knobs and sliders for immedaite layering and has fantastic piano sounds.
@Keyboardbeatz Sounds to me like the sound was recorded via direct input into the audio of this video, so yeah to an extent you *can* get a very good idea of the sound quality - if you watch this video on a computer with a quality sound card and decent speakers.
I am trying to find out what voice Robbie Buchanan among others used on songs...like the intro to Beauty and the Beast..Luis Miguel 20 years album...Chicago's hard habit to break..I heard he used a Tx 816 module with a MKS..layered with something else..I have a Yamaha Dgx 300 and it has a Dx electric piano..but wondered what board comes close to that Robbie Buchanan signature voice.
I bought the XS6 14 years ago and it is the best investment I have ever made!
Would you still recommend it today? Or would a MODX sound much better? A used XS6 costs around the sane as a used MODX6.
@@followyourpassion8378I would recommend the motif.
Miss this guy he is the best rep.
Like a fine wine, Bert just gets better with age!
One of Yamahas best
This synthesizer was sent by heaven.
And this dude simply goes nuts with it. I wish I could perform like he just did.
Very nice review! This workstation is a MUST HAVE ... and it's only like 3500$
Kinda cheap^^
Man I could watch this guy all night
This is the grand father of my Yamaha modx. This dude an amazing sales man. I hope Roland won't steal him. Yamaha should pay him a lot.
Bert makes it look so easy!

Maestro Smorenburg. The guy makes it look so easy like a kid's toy. Even the MOTIF is a great machine tooo......
This guy could sell a bruce springsteen CD to a 50 cent fan. Hes the best.
He's probably the best keyboard player in the world
I have an ES8 and I agree with Bert, the XS has a lot more to offer. The best keyboard in the market!
one hell of a cool demo !
I buy a XS7 next week, thanks Bert and Ronald.
Can't wait for wednesday....
Your video is very convincing! I'm sold :D
I think that was probably the best synth demo I've ever seen! Hell, I think I'm gonna sell my computer set up! :-D
"Just like that" .. Bert for President !!
Bert , You are great !
i already order xs8 , hopefully it will deliver to by next week ........ The best music synthesizer so far .
GREAT DEMONSTRATION!!!!!
Один из лучших инструментов среди клавишных
It's very simple and very practical playing great sounds and record them whenever you want at the YAMAHA MotifXS. It doesn't happen to my Korg Triton Le.
The guitar is awesome!!
very nice playing,
Great performer!

nossa meu o bert é de mais !! caramba meu !!
YO!!!!! This dude is genius!!!

Even the pro arrangers from Yahama are as heavy as the synths from the same brand.
I just brought one from sweetwater on monday custom made with all the sounds from the mo series and es series and I think the mm series to.
Hi sayspepe
You don't have to use the buttons to play megavoices. You can put that on velocity too.
Yes - Bert ROCKS!
bert is the best :D !
i love bert!!!
Bert rocks!
i love his jam at 2:36- 2:46
yes it does, the motif xs has everything from all the other motif key boards but this one has far more sounds music voices to but yes all they same stuff is in this model =]
Yes! Absolutely
this guy is amazing
MAaaaaaaaan, this is incredible! I might have to get a 2nd 3rd and 4th job to get one of these babies!!! lol
Man u are a str8 gangsta boiii !!! Good video
Does the Motif XS rack have most of these features?
The XS6, XS7 and XS8 have the same sounds, features and functions. The only differences are the number of keys and that the XS8 has IEEE1394 Firewire port as standard.
Can you tell me how to layer sounds on the motif . I know its done in performance mode but I don't know exactly where to go
Copper wires from the DVI output on a mac to the DVI input on a TV screen. Cool.
How did he do the vocode singing at the beginning? I have the XS8 and I would love to vocode with it!!!!!
The Fantom X was released in 2004
Gran sonido
AND IT'S IN !!
important question!!!
can you create custom drumkits and then use them in the sequencer?
I want to know if my rackmount version has the same dynamics as the keyboard version... Does anyone know ?
@3dot141,
YES to all your questions.
great keyboard !!
I had a small question. As Bert says, there are lots of arpeggios which can recognize chords from our playing.. Is it possible to synthesize our own arpeggio in it ? For instance, if I have have to make my own guitar style, with strumming, picking and harmonics ?
I wonder if the xs rack will come out.
does anybody knows the song at 4:58 ?? i love this organ improvisation
thank you !!
what synth keyboard should i get im new to them and i would be playing trance techno electro house hardstyle and hardcore on the keyboard and1 got any idea what one i should get..??i was thinking bout the korg x50 is it good..??
Everybody watch the little funk mode he goes into at around about 4:10....LOL!
it's around USD 3000.00..in Malaysia the price is RM 11000.00
how do you connect keyboard with monitor
Does anyone know if wav or mp3 samples from pc can be transfered to the xs for editing, applying fx and aranging?
Also how many FX can be applied per channel?
thx
is there any diff in the 3 models b-side number of keys?
The sounds on this one, are they the same as in the yamaha motif module ?
how good is the motif when u compare it to the korg pa 80
hello bro,
I just got amazed by this machin and it converged the whole ideas i had into only one place coz i`m about to make a littel home studio, anyway i got little query if you can help with it, U know I`m really intrested into the orintal music styles and i dont know if it supports the scales of them or not ???? help me please
waiting for answers
Is the only difference in the XS6, 7 and 8, the amount of keys or is their any other difference in what it can do?
can you use any mic with the right plug-in for the motif? i wana do those voices thats awesome
@manofmusicproduction basic differences between the motif 6, 6es and the 6 xs . what im learning is that the es and xs are just new reissues with more sounds? thanks
More sounds, Moe arpeggios, more effects, more polyphony, more features...
awesome The altime best key board in the world =]
Great thank you for this vidéo, i'm going to put a link on Moessieurs to your youtube page.
i want the XS7 !
I have a question
kursweil pc3x vs korg m3 vs motif xs vs phantom g8.
Who wins?
If u have a memory card u can save onto that,not sure what type is needed for the xs,I have the es8 and I save onto a smart media card.
i love the song in 2:36
how many sounds does it have?
@manofmusicproduction Can you make a pattern then change the chords?
Bert, that's impressive! Thanks for this cool demo. Just, I'm curious, some of the melodies and chords you play reminds me to some of my songs!! maybe we're somehow mentally connected :DD (look, particularly the chords on the accordion sounds very much my song Ballerina) Cheers. Gnomusy
настоящий менеджер-)
does anyone know if the sound drops out when you switch between patches?
This can be great on stage, but I think is more geared for the studio. For ive playing, check out the new Yamaha S90XS. It has alot of hands on knobs and sliders for immedaite layering and has fantastic piano sounds.
chevere!
i like the elecric voice
which is better motif xs8 or es8
that is the price for xs6, Bert is playing the xs7 which is as I said about $2800
If you are in song, pattern, or perform mode, no, the sounds don't drop out. If you are in voice mode, yes, they do... with rev 1.10 of firmware...
@Keyboardbeatz Sounds to me like the sound was recorded via direct input into the audio of this video, so yeah to an extent you *can* get a very good idea of the sound quality - if you watch this video on a computer with a quality sound card and decent speakers.
does any one know the name of the guitar piece this guy is playing ? I really want to know.
this guy is crazyyyyyyyy!!!shit he ripped that keyboard up easyyyyyyy!!!!!Nice, very nice
whats that song he plays at 1:40
Please anybody tell me the song at 3:03 ??? It's so wonderfull !!!
DO the Motif xs have any wah wah sounds or horns? like some fred wesley maceo parker like horns?
It's probably got the ability to add wah wah on ay of it's sounds.
how do i get to the patches like this guy is doing????
EASY & FAST!!!!
from 3:38 the analog part, i recgnize this music, but dont remember from who, is a very old tune, anyone remember what music is??
the only thing that i wish the xs/xf had in the sequencer was step editing...in the es it came with it...
I'm jealous. I want one too! xD
I am trying to find out what voice Robbie Buchanan among others used on songs...like the intro to Beauty and the Beast..Luis Miguel 20 years album...Chicago's hard habit to break..I heard he used a Tx 816 module with a MKS..layered with something else..I have a Yamaha Dgx 300 and it has a Dx electric piano..but wondered what board comes close to that Robbie Buchanan signature voice.
He has a website. Ask him through the contact page. Send him a compliment with your question. They like that ;-)
all i can say... DAMNN
I want that keyboard! :(
So, sell something!
Several people I know have sold their fridges and other household furniture just to get MotifXS. :-)
wat ya mean 11 k???how much is that by usa dollars?
1,14 , electric piano
