That playing is simply amazing. I have the MODX but I do not sound like him. It goes to show that the musician is the most important link in the chain.
@@hitzoneproductions7858 Actually the ES8 has most of the Motif sounds but it doesn't have additional sounds the Motif XF and it doesn't have additional Montage sounds. The Montage has everysingle Motif sound plus additional sounds. The only sound the Montage doesn't have is the Powergrand from the Motif Classic
This is wonderful! I’m not gonna lie, it was refreshing to see a brother on the channel. I would love some more touches on gospel patches, especially with the Yamaha
Yamaha MODX (which gives you the Montage sounds if not all the functionality) is easily the best bang-for-buck synth out there. Scenes are an absolute gamechanger for live performance. Initially I was put off by the complexity but it's worth the effort. New OS updates added sequencer and Morphing feature. The only negative for me are the piano and organ patches, which is why I use a Nord 6 underneath (pianos are fine but just not to my taste...nothing cuts through like the Nord's Bright Grand patch!) I believe this combination gives me everything I need for almost every musical situation.
Oh yes Serg. I agree. Especially these days. Music heals and brings people together and that is what this world needs. Healing through music and togetherness. Love to you my friend!
That demo sells the unit. I can't play the piano/keyboard but this makes me wanna buy and start. The sounds are professional sounding and Mike brings the sounds to life with his amazing tasteful playing.
I'm soo glad he touched on, how great the guitar sounds are on the montage. This is my favorite keyboard ever. I am definitely blessed, to be able to own one of these.
It's unbelievable I've been on this channel for more than a year and I haven't watched this video yet. Mike has made the discovery of the modern music... He's figured out how to play good strings from a keyboard without using a VST. That's unreal to say the least! It sounds so amazingly beautiful and cool, even without considering his incredible harmonic intuition and musical understanding. #WORLDCLAS!
This was my favorite one so far! So much info and great sounds. Saw only synth based demos of thr Montage so I didn't know the montage had the acoustic sounds on lock like that. Please bring Mike back.
I wish there was a cam covering his expression pedal work, especially on that outro. Man, this guy's playing is what so many keyboard players aspire to be.
A good musician can make the cheapest instrument sound amazing. We get all hyped listening to these various product demos , go out and buy the latest synth or VST, then get home and feel disappointed because our musical attempts aren’t the same caliber 😩
All I can say is WOOOOW! A friend of mine was telling me that the new Korg was the best keyboard on the market but he may be wrong, lol. Two points: 1) Yamaha makes actual instruments so that would logically seem to give them an edge. 2) that acoustic guitar sound, articulation and feel was UNREAL! Those two things have sold me on Yamaha Montage 7. Great video and great playing.
This man's 4th finger on his right hand is putting in the work! Absolutely beautiful playing, I definitely appreciate the tips & tricks element of the video.
That friggin' classical guitar is nuts! There's so many variables on stringed instruments that it's hard to synthesize them all, but that thing nails it! I realize a lot of it is technique also.😉
I'm buying this board just because of you Mike, I'm not even close to your talent but maybe my daughter can play this board after so many piano classes. Amazing sound ..
Mike Patrick totally has got it...Awesome... So well presented, and demonstrated.. Please do more Mike...can we get your set ups somewhere with scenes?
That's my exact setup and has been for a decade. Tried the MODX and it's cleaner than the MOXF but I prefer the old acoustic pianos for some reason. If you midi up a DX7II, you can get some great EPs. I sent the MODX back and prefer the old convertors/filters. Maybe I'm just getting old! (Toss in an old Roland MKS20 and nothing touches that big, warm sound for EPs)
Ahh yes. I love the classics too. I have a DX7, DX7S and an EX5. I've had Yamaha synths my entire life. My first real synth was a Yamaha DX27. I was 9 when I had that one. Then I added a TX81Z to the mix. Oh yes. Yamaha for life!
Not really. These string patches sound nice for an initial audition, but require a lot of editing to act like someone is actually PLAYING strings. Strings do not sound or perform anywhere near this typical type of synth rendition. Highly over rated.
First of all I would like to say I love this channel and Jack's a great host! Secondly Mike Patrick has combined some great suspended, sevenths and ninth chords in his string arrangement in the outro. I'm purchasing the Montage 8 next week. I was leasing the MODX8, then I replaced it with the Korg Nautilus, but I miss the acoustic instruments on the MODX, so I've decided to by the Montage after seeing videos like this one. Thanks Jack and Mike!
Man I’m loving the work that you are doing. I know this sound, and your relationship is coming through your gift! Keep pushing Mike, you are impactful! Blessings!
Remember keyboardists... guitars only have 6 strings, and limited intervals... if you're trying to mimic. That said, playing is fantastic and those guitar sounds are scarily good... hope you don't put me out of work ;)
Very good point, when you are synthesizing something, you have to have to imagine the player and instrument in your mind. There is a tendency for a keyboardist to play too many notes for the character of the actual instrument.
The chord progressions and harmony in general.. fantastic man. Can’t wait to here soms explaining, which will follow soon, if I’m right? Very impressive playing!
It's pretty easy to make this patch. If your keyboard have layers function, you can use Strings Section type sounds for layer number one, Violin/Orchestra type sounds for layer number two, and Sweet flute sounds for layer number three. Add expression pedal to your assignable pedal keyboard input.. Done 👌 You are an professional keyboardist, you should know about layering sounds and I believe you can do better than that! Warm regards, sukses terus mas!
If you can edit your envelope parameters (attack sustain delay etc) and a decent strings you can create this on most keyboards. Like the other guy said, layer with other patches to fatten it up. Though to be honest, garbage in is garbage out so start with something good.
Great video. Such great playing and sounds. So refreshing to watch a couple of great musicians talking so easily about such complex things. No egos or BS here. Lovely stuff. And good old Dan Bingham gets a massive shout out too! Dan loves it. Loving the content!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎹🎹🎹
What a great guy Mike Patrick is and an amazing player, his fingers look made for a piano! Unlike the stubby lumps at the end of my hands lol. Mike vs Luke...what a battle that would be! :)
Would love to have Mike do a tutorial on how he is bringing the strings in with the expression pedal at 5:52 - I didn't see the superknob moving and am still learning the basics on my MODX - fantastic video, lots of great info!
I was wanting a workstation and thinking Kronos or Montage and this video I think made my mind up. Plus that Mike Patrick is a great keyboardist, hope you have more videos with him.
Great video, you guys have a real rapport together which makes for great viewing. And the synth is amazing too, made to sound great with the quality of playing.

I too have a MODX and was thinking the exact same thing
Thats bs Darrick......you always sound great my friend
Well, also add that the MODX and Montage have different audio outs. The Montage’s sound is a bit more enhanced over the MODX.
And, the Montage has after touch. MODX does not.
A good musician can do wonders with just the piano sound. All yo have to do is practice 5 - 8 hours per day for 5 -8 years.
Yamaha owes this man a check, he sold this board for me.
Don't waste so much money. My ES6 has every montage and motif sound ever made plus 60gb externals worth of sounds. I'm selling for a fraction.
Agreed
@@howarddavid31 What do you agree with?

I'm Yamaha for life. I've strayed a couple times, but I always come back.
Yamaha, my wife; Roland, my lover.
We need this guy as a frequent collaborator
I would have gone to Church more if they had Mike playing the keys, that's for sure!
It’s never too late to repent my son.
I hear British accent, i don’t think you would have found him in those American church...not all black people play in church
Jon
Good point!
🎼 🎹 🎶 👍 👍
At our church as a kid it was an old white woman trying to play church organ with bad arthritis
He literally plays a Christian song at 7:30. 😆
Been a pro keyboardist/composer since 1973. You guys are my FAVORITE keyboard channel on TH-cam. Keep up the GREAT work!
One of the only synth demos I have heard someone change patches while playing, an important aspect always overlooked.
Probably one of the best instrumental intros to a keyboard review, EVER! Bless you Mike!
The intro was HEAVENLY......I closed my eyes and felt almost like astrally projecting....🔥
This is my new alarm on my phone. What a joy to wake up to and uplift your spirit even before you get out of bed!
This is wonderful! I’m not gonna lie, it was refreshing to see a brother on the channel. I would love some more touches on gospel patches, especially with the Yamaha

Oh yes Serg. I agree. Especially these days. Music heals and brings people together and that is what this world needs. Healing through music and togetherness. Love to you my friend!
My gosh the playing is beautiful on this ! You can feel that he plays from the heart very refreshing 😎
Thanks to you Mike. It's so soothing to ear complex chords... 7th, 9th, sus2, sus4, -5, dim, /Eb ... I need more!!!
I just keep coming back to this clip. Some of the most beautiful sounds and improvised music I have ever heard . 👌
His hands allow him to reach things others can only dream of. But his ears and sense of harmony are what really makes him so good.
Mike Patrick, man those chords and sounds on that board wow. And then you have D Bingerz on piano and Jake on guitar singing, pure gold.
This video is SOLID GOLD So much knowledge I need more of this
Have to say, along with their fantastic piano tutorials, andertons synth and keys are nailing it right now!
@@Jeremyelrick amen to that!
I listen to this intro about a hundred times...
It almost bring tears to your eyes. Beautiful patch, I could most definitely use this patch at Sunday service, it most definitely set a tone! 👍🏾

Possibly the most inspiring keyboard demo I've heard. - Martin + Luke would be unbelievable!

Been following Mike for years here in London! One of my favourite keyboard players in the UK and great to have him on this channel
I wish there was a cam covering his expression pedal work, especially on that outro. Man, this guy's playing is what so many keyboard players aspire to be.
OMG that intro touched the depths of my soul!! It was THAT good!!

Amazing play from Mike and it's always a treat seeing Jacks enthusiasm for other musicians, skilled as he is himself!
Unlike a lot of videos out there, this really shows off the Montage(7) from real "on the ground" player's perspective... Now I'm ready to buy!
hands down my favorite reviewing video this month ...the topics on crafting gospel sounds is what i needed more of
All I can say is WOOOOW! A friend of mine was telling me that the new Korg was the best keyboard on the market but he may be wrong, lol.

Unreal how great that board sounds. I see why it’s the flagship.
holy crap that beginning with the strings sounded amazing
That Outro is Simply Amazing!!! Such a Beautiful Melody and Chords
I’m excited for what this man might release for the MODX/Montage.
This guy definitely plays in church😭
I know bro😩😭😭
If he was American maybe.
Yeah he confirmed it many time on the yc61 video!
I use that tip for strings on Yamaha too! A big, ensemble patch layered with a solo violin/quarter really gives you options for texture
This man's 4th finger on his right hand is putting in the work! Absolutely beautiful playing, I definitely appreciate the tips & tricks element of the video.
This is real excitement... I enjoy to listen that beautiful sounds and combinations in awesome performing of Mike Patrick!
Super playing! - What a gent Mike is. Jack is very lucky to know so may great players... Especially loved the acoustic guitar patch.
Tyros 2 Concert Guitar is better than this... Unfortunatelly the montage doesn't use the SuperArticulation tech thing.
It is amazing to see Jack’s appreciation of the Mike’s performance.
appreciated the weymuff shoutout, and, what a player!

Wow. There are actually 2 beasts in this video. The keyboard, and Mike (soundtrack) Patrick.
Absolutely blown away by both of them 😯
Hands down; this made me proud to own this board....you feel me???? Wow!!!!!!!
That intro was absolutely beautiful!
As a student of music, Mike Patrick, you are inspiring...!
Beautiful playing and beautiful sounds! I love my Yamaha MODX and my old DX7s. I can trust a Yamaha synth, that's why I chose then.
That's my exact setup and has been for a decade. Tried the MODX and it's cleaner than the MOXF but I prefer the old acoustic pianos for some reason. If you midi up a DX7II, you can get some great EPs. I sent the MODX back and prefer the old convertors/filters. Maybe I'm just getting old!

Wow this slapped the crap out of my Roland Fantom G7 that I freaking love. Looks like I'm gonna have to pick one up soon.
I have rewatched the video like a 1000 times but every time it's new. Mike is an alien on these orchestra sounds !!!!!!
Not really. These string patches sound nice for an initial audition, but require a lot of editing to act like someone is actually PLAYING strings. Strings do not sound or perform anywhere near this typical type of synth rendition. Highly over rated.

I'm loving this string sound pad !

This x1000. Been playing for years but wish I could stretch more than a ninth (and that's at a push): Mike's voicings are just beautiful
Always. You need a Yammy with a Roland.. Roland has some of the best Rhodes. The modern Rolands has lighter versions of Spectrasonic's Keyscape.
So, get the montage and layer with keyscape sounds? 😏
7:00 A "woody sound" that's the natural sound. That's so simple and so effective.
Would love to have Mike do a tutorial on how he is bringing the strings in with the expression pedal at 5:52 - I didn't see the superknob moving and am still learning the basics on my MODX - fantastic video, lots of great info!
This is great, it's so nice that they get on so well. More of these please!
The hammer-on articulation is nice.
Chord progressions sound awesome!
Wow! I love my xf8; but this makes me look at the montage very differently. Beautiful!🤨🎹👍🏾
Mr Patrick, that was lovely!!
I’ve been using the expression pedal on strings and pads trick for years on my Kronos. However, I don’t play like this gentleman!😎
You two are so very good at expressing the best from the Montage and you are both really good musicians and have great chemistry together...
I was wanting a workstation and thinking Kronos or Montage and this video I think made my mind up. Plus that Mike Patrick is a great keyboardist, hope you have more videos with him.
I came in for piano sounds and left in tears from the therapy session

Great sound and performance.
Thnks for your musical efford Mike Patrick. ;)
