"Now all you need is like, like a beat like... UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ -- and then you gonna make a lot of money!" Bert Smorenburg is instant entertainment. He should do demos for every synth & keyboard ever, seriously.
Well... this guy certainly knows how to play this bit of kit. I love his enthusiasm, when someone imparts that much energy, I can't help but be inspired. Nice sales job !!!
J’ai acheté mon motif rack en voyant cette vidéo. Et quand je l’ai revendu j’ai également montré Cette vidéo aux acheteurs…imparable ! Faut dire que le mec assure et il connaît bien la machine Qui est quand même un bon produit.
I own Montage, ProphetX, Iridium, Hydrasynth, Wavestate, Modwave, Nord Wave, Nord Electro, Integra7, JupiterX, Pro3, Minilogue XD, Argon8, Cobalt8.... ... but still, I feel like I need this Motif after watching this video... I suppose this guy could build an empire selling sand in Sahara !!! :D :D :D
I completely concur. One thing that is somewhat deceptive about the above video is that this guy can really play, especially with sounding like other instruments. Analog synths have something that these rompler synths can never have, truly open sound engine and filters rather than frozen waves that are mathematically limited and simply loop. Analog synths are not limited and literally have infite possibilities of unique waveforms. The converters on these modern things are outrageoulsy detailed.
Always a great demo.. I bought a motif xf because this guy is truly great...But now Rd800/Roland simply cause I'm a piano player only....Its hard to get great piano sounds out of a synthesizer or great synthesizer sounds out of piano....The Yamaha Motif line comes closer than any as far as Piano+Synthesizer sounds!!!!!!! #hammond sk1 ' Rd800 Roland ' korg m50/88
The USB connection is for the PC, but the MIDI connector will work with anything that has a MIDI connector of its own. Any control keyboard on the market will do, for that matter.
@ovallesfilmcomposer7 yup, original Motif has midi timing problems.. the ES sorted this out. as well as many more things.. ES is the one to have, if you got the £$ then go XS rack :)
1:33 George Michael - I can't make you love me. 1:41 Grover Washington Jr. - Just the Two of Us (feat. Bill Withers)? 2:10 Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water 2:38 Ludwig Van Beethoven's 5th Symphony
This is a nice single sound rack, but if you want to use it for multi skip it and get the Motif ES, the original Motif Rack has horrible midi timing problems.
Christophe Nutto I know your comment is from years back. if you haven't found it yet, the song at 2:54 is Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto
You are a great salesman.. LOL loved what you did.. one question.. if you have two key boards, does it work and connect to both and work on both at the same time?
Motif-Rack is a very good machine. With a good keyboard it makes a good studio gear. Classic Motif (w/keyboard) hasn't MegaVoices, but in Motif-Rack I heard it. Does the Motif Rack have MegaVoice technology?
Ah NOW..... Brecker Brothers to start..... excellent choice..... ! Question.... I have a Motif 7 - yeah I know - really old...! But I am looking for a rack version so XF or XS.....? Thanks....
Hold, don't get too carried away. If it's Yamaha, it's the best. I already have hundreds of sounds and voices in my Yamaha PSR 6700, including orchestration on dozens of CDs that came with it. I could do just better by adding a MIDI synthesizer/sequencer to top up a great mixture of tunes. So far, I haven't found a great synthesizer. But I know Akai had one with a thousands voices and melodies. I forgot the model name, made by Akai in '92. Does anyone remember the little MIDI box with a red LCD display and 2 rows of push switches for the selection of all the melodies that were then blent with those of the keyboard to create unbelievable sounds? Let me know if this Akai model synthesizer is still around. My fault for spilling coffee on it though 🙄
This guy is such an amazing pitchman, I feel like if I don't buy one of these right now, I might die soon.
Underrated comments 🤣😂🤣
I remember seeing this guy as a kid, demoing the Moif XS I think.
Never wanted a keyboard so bad in my life, and I'm a bass player.
I bought the Motif Rack ES fifteen years because of Bert. Guy is a legend.
"Now all you need is like, like a beat like... UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ -- and then you gonna make a lot of money!"
Bert Smorenburg is instant entertainment. He should do demos for every synth & keyboard ever, seriously.
Its still an amazing sound module,15 Years later.
I own one myself :-)
looking to get one. looks perfect, even has many outputs
I created the audition phrases in this rack when i worked at yamaha - but never got around to buying one😅
“Great, aggressive arpeggiator, the only thing you need is a beat and you'll gonna make a lot of money” 😂
Well... this guy certainly knows how to play this bit of kit.
I love his enthusiasm, when someone imparts that much energy, I can't help but be inspired.
Nice sales job !!!
This guy needs a few more cups of coffee...
He'll probably overdose.
URKillingme100 * i think he already overdosed.. Great playing though.. Im laughing so hard!! Smh
Excellent ! You made my day !
Sounds like Dom Sigalas 👀
or lines
I just bought one and he makes me feel like I should be buying another.
lol ;-)
6 years later and you still made me laugh out loud.
J’ai acheté mon motif rack en voyant cette vidéo.

Cette vidéo aux acheteurs…imparable !

Qui est quand même un bon produit.
this guy is Dutch. You can never hide your accent from another Dutch person. :)
You also cannot hide from a German 😂😂😂… greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
"...now all you need is a pump pump pump pump, and you'll make a lot of money" hahahaha
"The only thing you need now is a beat, like an 'UHm-tss-UHm-tss-UHM-tss-UHM-tss!'"
That made my day.
That pantomiming a guitar player sticking a wire into their amp killed me
"Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence" from Ryuichi Sakamoto
=)
Thank you for this
Bert, the guy who made almost the whole humanity buy an MM6
I heard he sold a double bed to the Pope!!
Oh, I like how this guy demonstratesed the synths)) I remember when I discover him on YT for the first time =)
Mannnnnnn, my dude is HYPE asf... LOL
'All you need is a beat - then you're going to make a lot of money'
:-)
This guy is funny
"make a lot of money" at 3:14
+Dian Nebula "UNGHS! UNGHS! UNGHS!" Priceless... I love this guy ^-^
He Said he made a lot of money... (most likely)
fun fact: This was used in the Mii Channel on the Wii. Particularly the Electric Piano and Violins.
The best demo i've seen for the Motif Rack. now I'm gonna order one.!!!
I own Montage, ProphetX, Iridium, Hydrasynth, Wavestate, Modwave, Nord Wave, Nord Electro, Integra7, JupiterX, Pro3, Minilogue XD, Argon8, Cobalt8....

Bert using "I Can't Make You Love Me" and the theme from "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" seals the deal.
Is everything possible with this machine? Yes, everything is possible! It'll even whiten your teeth while you sleep!
This man is a boss.
If he goes with Yamaha to a international brand exhibition he can sold all. Hahaha. 🤣🤣👏👏
this review was amazing, im so pumped
I'm really hyped to buy those backdrop curtains wooooo
Always a great demo..

I like the demos he shows, they make you want to buy this even though its only the motif and not ES.....i am interested! I have never owned a motif
@ripsta1995 The Song is called "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" by Ryuichi Sakamoto taken from the OST of the film with the same name.
This is a nice single sound rack, but if you want to use it for multi skip it and get the Motif ES, the original Motif Rack has horrible midi timing problems.
+looneyburgmusic
Yep, even after getting a lot of complaints and issuing an update, Yamaha was never able to fix the problem in the original model.
+YouzTube99 Yeah, I can't not understand how that trainwreck got by Yamaha QC before release.
ryuichi sakamoto "merry christmas mr. lawrence"
Christophe Nutto I know your comment is from years back. if you haven't found it yet, the song at 2:54 is Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto
Cooper of Navarone I COULDN'T REMEMBER THE NAME. THANK U SO MUCH
Tou can pick these up super cheap second hand these days on ebay 👌🏻
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence 💫
Salve, belli questi suoni vorrei sapere il primo brass che suoni quale suono è? Grazie 🎹

He plays Sakura on the "Merry Christams Mr. Laurence" film theme by yurishi sakamoto (who plays in the movie along with David Bowie 1984
Motif wreck?
Is posible connect a midi keyboard controller + a midi buttons for select sounds quickly?
I imagine this guy could get any women in the bar and sell ice to an Eskimo all in the same day.
Bert is the KING!!
Thank you
Great demo video thanks
@ovallesfilmcomposer7 actually your es rack is the better than the motif classic rack. It came out later after the motif es.
Where can i find one of these to buy in 2023?
Great but whats the price ?
You are a great salesman.. LOL loved what you did.. one question.. if you have two key boards, does it work and connect to both and work on both at the same time?
merry christmas mr lawrence of Sakamoto
Great Demo
@ovallesfilmcomposer7 actually your es rack is the better than the motif classir rack. It came out later after the motif es.
This dude is raw!!!!!!
Motif-Rack is a very good machine. With a good keyboard it makes a good studio gear.
Classic Motif (w/keyboard) hasn't MegaVoices, but in Motif-Rack I heard it. Does the Motif Rack have MegaVoice technology?
wish one of these would show how to hook up and set up.
Does this Also record like the motif Six keyboard? Can I create my own demo song with this and how?
yeah i use the Edirol midi keyboard controller Pcr-m80
How come is this video so fun? Hahaha..!!!! XD

Guy could sell snowballs to an eskimo!
Thanks Christian

all you need is a great bass sound and then you're gonna make a lot of money
What setting on the MOTIF-RACK would be good fpr a keyboard (Journey - Separate Ways) sound? TIA
2:52 instant RnB track
Hello.
How can I reset the Motif rack es to factory settings?
reset
thank you
I thought this was myth busters
whats the name of the song he plays with the "acoustic piano" voice?
And fun to watch and listen.
"I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt. What was the electric piano song?
this video was posted to this channel in 2006
What is the stand his motif rack is attached to? And where can you get them from?
Wow, i want this now
Um, is there a way to purchase without involving the CD ROM?
What I want to know is where did you get that rack stand!!!!!!!? I need one!
This guy is a badass
Great player
sorry .. never been a Yamaha lover, I find Roland more to my taste and this guy.. please .. give the man some prozac. ;-)
2:44 That's where that Asian flute sound is from.
