Just recently got my Motif XF7. Oh my god!! First of all the sound. Geez! I have been watching youtube vids for months now, but NO video can show you how good it sounds. The first sound i tested was the Natural Grand Piano. I think i played just with that sound for 30 minutes. Only 1600 more to go ;) After just a couple of ours i had made a little song in the sequenzer. It is such an incredible inspiration to search trough the different sounds. And each sound is precision. More later. See ya!
I'm so grateful you did a tutorial in english. I've loved watching you for years demonstrate keyboard instruments. Thank you from an American dummy who isn't very bilingual :)
this is the best Motif demo ever!!! its refreshing not only to here a serious keyboard player but to here them and the first sound they don't go to is piano and fender rhodes!!!
Very good explanation of the improvements. Great sound and superb playing! The best video on the MOTIF that I've seen (the Gospel Musician is pretty good too).
Consider the economy and the workstation competition (especially Open Labs products). In this day & age, every sound from every workstation should sound detailed & realistic; no excuses. Lcukily, Yamaha's new presets sound wonderful (on the demos), especially, the oak kit & the combo organs. I've seen others complain about the price point, but I think it's consistent with previous Motifs. IMO, the XF is aesthetically gorgeous. Good job, Yamaha, and good job on the demo.
The Open Labs Neko computer workstation was a concept that never really caught on. I recently bought a Yamaha Motif XS6 as I was one of those people who could never afford to buy anything pro when it was new, I do like the Motif XF's black finish but I don't mind the fact that I own a previous generation Motif ( there are still some professional musicians using Motif classic which is still an OK keyboard ). But to be honest most people using these keyboards in a studio use Motif for it's utiliy as it is a top quality midi controller, it's most likely in a midi backing track that producers will only use a few of the internal sounds in Motif and mainly use something like Kontakt if they want really realistic sounding orchestral instruments.
All of this arguing back and forth between Yamaha Motif and Korg Kronos seems so redundant. Both are great keyboards. Just go out and play your ass off on either machine and live your life to the fullest.
I opted for the Kronos X 88. My choice was based on the fact that in 2001 I bought a Triton Pro X & a Motif 6 (still have them). I preferred the Triton. So this time I couldn't afford both & it was only 1 or the other. I'm sure the Motif Xf is a great keyboard, but I've always been partial to Korg. (had Poly 800, M1, T1, O1/W, Trinity, Triton). Soon (in a few months) I will be buying another keyboard & my choice is between the Motif XF, Kurzweil Pc3K & Roland Integra 7. It's a hard choice.
“Motif XS have 384mb sampling waveform... you know...” I love it when Katsonori San speaks in his native Japanese, but his English is really endearing.
It's good to know that Mr. Katsunori Ujiie visited countries like Europe and Asia (the one with the China county, I guess). :) Thanks for the info, "yamahacorporation". Nice workstation, though.
I have just bought a Motif XS6 but the Motif XF looks really stunning in it's black finish. Even though the Motif XS sounds pail in comparison to XF I do also have Halion 7 after upgrading from version 6 and using Halion was what lead me onto the path to buy a Yamaha workstation. Unfortunately some of the new high quality sounds on Motif XF seem exclusive to that generation because with Montage some of the sounds like the saxophones Yamaha went back to the same saxophones from Motif ES however in a DAW setup if your using a synth/workstation to record backing tracks most people are likely to maybe only use a few of the internal sounds and use sample libraries like Halion or Kontakt as VST intruments tend to be better at sounding more realistic compared to hardware but with any generation of Motif it's cool that via USB you have the ability to control your DAW and VST instruments using the assignable controls on your Motif, I'm even not sure if the Montage allows you to hit play or record from the keyboard like you can with Motif.
@TheLeonski well i dont own a motif but, i dont think you are able to stream audio from the motif using a usb cable... you will need to connect your motif to the computer through analog 1/4 cables.. and if you do not have an external audio interface for your computer you can use the built in sound card but you will need a "Y" cable that has 1/8" stereo on one end and two mono 1/4"(phono left and right) on the other
@theapex81 IMO, 65% of the wave rom is consumed by the built in arpeggios and phrase generator. the rest were like new presets and good sounding pianos. :-)
the expression of voices especially saxophones and sounds and patterns of 'live' drums is amazing. How close does motif xf comes to tyros in terms of sounds especially drums, brass, woodwinds, basses and acoustic guitars ? I listened to demos of motif xf and checked it out at the store, but found it falling way behind tyros 5. ( workstations used to be ahead of arranger keyboards few years ago but now it seems vise verse )
Tod Ltx thats y i bought a psr s770 little brother of tyros 5... and it has nice voices and super articulated sounds and live sounds.. but ofcourse the psr is an arranger and motif is a workstation so they are both different
But your making an apples vs oranges comparison, Motif and Tyros are 2 different types of keyboards both intended for entirely different types of use. Arranger keyboards are intended for a one man band situation as the auto accompaniments on an arranger are it's main selling point. But if midi sequencing backing tracks is more your thing then the Yamaha Motif is better especially as it has perfect DAW integration with Cubase, many of the sounds in Motif are still usable but to be honest most people that use a Yamaha Motif for creating backing tracks will probably only use a small handfull of the Motif's internal sounds and use VST instruments like Halion or Kontakt if they want the most realistic sounding orchestral instruments or bass sounds with round robin, I very nearly bought a Tyros 5 in 2022 as I used to be of the opinion "that arranger keyboards aren't just for one man bands" but thank the train strikers that I didn't go through with spending over 2 grand on a Tyros 5 as I recently bought a Motif XS6 and despite it being a generation older than Motif XF it's still a really fantastic keyboard for what it was designed for and there are still some professional musicians using Motif XS even today. I think Yamaha overhype Tyros and Genos out to be more than what they really are even though I have never actually sat down in front of an arranger keyboard but I know that there are plenty of orchestral sample libraries that blow Tyros 5 out of the water.
Motif XF has very nice sample set onboard, no doubt about that, and the flash memory is very good idea (same concept started with SY99 and EX5, when you loaded samples, and they would stay in memory even if the instrument is turned off). However, it'd be so nice to see FM engine (like on the SY99) and AN and VL engines (like on the EX5). The two articulation buttons is something that comes from home keyboard market (Tyros) and it doesn't feel that expressive actually. I'd rather have FM for that expressiveness, because sampling, as much as it is realistic note-to-note, the performance can be lagging in realism. Having said that, Motif keyboards have excellent mulitmode filters and synthesizer programming capabilities. I guess, one can't have everything. So, still, the combination of SY99+EX5+Motif XF7 would be a good setup to have all of Yamaha technologies. VP1 engine would've been fantastic, but that's obviously not realistic to ask.
Just bought a Kronos X 88 & I also have a Troiton Pro X, Motif 6 & EX5. I'm looking to get another keyboard/sound module, but I can't make up my mind. I want either a Yamaha Motif Xf, Roland Integra 7 or a Kurzweil Pc3k.
$2,500 for a new Motif XF6. The only difference between the 6, 7 & 8 is the number of keys. (sounds/engine are the same) If you get lucky on Ebay, you could probably pick up an used, FX6 for around $1,700.
I agree that the Motif looks nicer in black even though I have just bought a Motif XS6. But surprisingly the new samples in Motif XF pail in comparison to what I already have in Halion 7.
There is difference in what is speed and what is having better performance. I was talking about the speed. Try to make that difference before sending any stupid comments. Still the technology is from the stone age...:o)) They should start using FireWire800.
Yep, bought the XF8, along with HS80M's and a HS10W. Should be a total eargasm. And I'm nowhere NEAR this guys' level lol...I just want to make trance, happy hardcore, and dubstep.
Can you use flash to load wavs from a hardrive and sequence them in ur tracks. I wanna add my own drums. Is there a way to create a userkit of all ur sounds and make beats/quantize/edit them the way you want?
@Drajfovic Um, USB2 is 480 MB/s peak, not sustained. FW400 sweeps the floor with USB2. And have you calculated how much data you can transfer over FW400, and how many channels those are?
I have Korg Triton Pro X w/EXB-MOSS (analog modeling board) installed & a Yamaha Motif6 w/PLG150-AN ((analog modeling board) installed. I also have a Korg Kronos X 88. The advancement in technology & sounds, from he Triton to the Kronos, is huge & noticeable. But from what I hear, the difference between the Motif 6 & XF is a bit less pronounced. Yamaha needs to make a totally, new, keyboard & they also need to get back into analog modeling. (XF has no expansion ports) XF does sound great though.
I check this one out at sam ash today..... great keyboard!!!! the only thing I did not really like is the key bed. the keys feel too soft. I guess is a matter of taste but, I wish they would put a keys like the legendary Korg M1 had... which by the way had a key bed made by Yamaha. but over all this motif rocks... plus that flash option is amazing... I just hope it does not take 2 minutes to boot up when you have all that memory installed and filled with samples.
@puronicoya to me, it seems that m50 sounds just like m3 but I don't know.. of course kronos or even oasys are best keyboards, but they are for another budget.
I think this keyboard is designed for Live Performance pretty convenient. It's much more easier than Fantom Roland series, and of cause better than Motif XS indeed.
I really want this motif! guess im gonna have to save money for like a year amazing workstation, do you guys think there's one that's a cool workstation for a lower price? great video.
Listening to this demo again, I can't find any XF patch that sounds less good than even the newer Korg Kronos X. Strings, piano, brasses, guitar, all is clearly better on the XF. But why is it still so expensive !!
@Drajfovic Just to save you the arithmetic, that over 170 channels of 24 bit, 96 kHz. Let's round it down to 160, that gives you 80 stereo channels at studio quality. That's CHANNELS, not voices, so 80 Super Audio CD's playing at the same time. And that's not enough for you? Next time you make a remark, try to think beforehand.
He doesn't feels that good speaking english than in his japanese versions. I really apreciate him for making this! But....hey, i loved his japanese versions even i didnt understood a bit of it! Katsunori Ujiie for president!
very nice interpretation, a great demo, we have to knowledge that english is not his mother language, for those people that are making fun try to speak Japanese,
The only way to convince you is that you convince your self. Suppose you have an computer with greate CPU's performance (Dont use craipe laptops) 1 - Download USB2 hi-speed with "good quality" (dont use the default ones as every one does for testing purposes...:-))..everything is the in good quality of the USB2 driver. 2 - Install driver and activate for hi-speed. 3 - Connect directly source to target (Dont use hubs in between since you will loose bandwith)
Can you do a demo on the new Yamaha Tyros 4. Im thinking about trading in my Clavinova CVP-207 for one. It seems to have all that the CVP-509 has and more just not in the fancy cabinet.
Since this has the same S6 piano sound like the one in the Yamaha S70xs, does it still have the same harmonic problem found on the S70xs on the lower C, C#, D and Eb notes?!
@ yamaha corporation I recently played the Yamaha Motif XF 6 in a music store. I really like the key feel of this keyboard, but am otherwise not sure if it is the right model for me. Do any other Yamaha keyboards, maybe even MIDI controllers, have the keys / keybed of the Motif XF 6 (with 61 or 76 keys) ?
Although the XF looks nicer to be honest it's newer sounds are still of similar quality due to the Motif's hardware limitations. Based on hearing that electric bass which is the same sound I already have in Halion 7 I think some of these sounds are still better in Halion because with Halion that particulat bass sound uses wave cycling so you get random fret noises in Halion ( just like you would on a real bass guitar ) and as I don't have a bass guitar I want my electric basses to sound as realistic as possible. I have recently bought a Motif XS as there are some sounds like the e pianos which do sound better on the Motif and I also like the Motif's bell pad sounds as you can edit the sounds on Motif to your liking something you cannot do in Halion but as I have mentioned on other comment replies most producers will only use a few sounds on the Motif and use VST instruments or other romplers for other types of sounds.
umm...personally as far as comparisons...the motif just sounds overall warmer. kronos is cool nice features, but it sounds a little thin to me. for kronos rhodes are great...pianos are realistic finally for korg, but a little thin. anyone else heard something different? let me add though aux sounds on kronos are amazing...but that's what I'd expect from korg.
@Drajfovic No, I just think you don't know what you're talking about, that's all. So far, with all your cases being rested, you haven't convinced me otherwise.
Music knows no boundaries. This is one true method of communication regardless of what language you speak :)

One of the best workstations, just keeps getting better. No, not bells and whistles, just practical useable updates for serious musicians .
this is the best Motif demo ever!!! its refreshing not only to here a serious keyboard player but to here them and the first sound they don't go to is piano and fender rhodes!!!
Man, this thing looks like a beast. Amazing sound quality too. I've always loved Yamaha. :O)
so you big now
@@libEluLLah what?
@@danielgleb he's big now, has 661k subscribers
Wow, you have done a tremendous job explaining this Motif xf. Now I feel like buying one for myself. Thanks
It was ok but it's not my type of music
His start is also not the music I'll prefer but, but take some time and listening through till the end. You'll will change your opinion
Maybe but not now
@@LindaNickYou can still produce any type of music with this board 🙂
Very good explanation of the improvements. Great sound and superb playing! The best video on the MOTIF that I've seen (the Gospel Musician is pretty good too).
Professor Katsunori has his own youtube page at Musictrackjp, where he demoes many many synths... this guy is fantastic!!!
About time Yamaha start to make synths again. A nice FM synth with keyboard, knobs and buttons for every parameter. yes please. :)
With Motif ES you can have FM synthesis as a plugin board option.
I love that jazz guitar sound at 6:21

Stunning musical instrument and an amazing musician!
One key and 3-4 button changes and you've got music...!!! Awesome!!!!!!
All of this arguing back and forth between Yamaha Motif and Korg Kronos seems so redundant. Both are great keyboards. Just go out and play your ass off on either machine and live your life to the fullest.

Harp sounds as a celestial song...! Marvelous...!
@SilverfangX777 There are over 1000 new arpeggios, and if I remember right, it has also new synth voices.

Hey bullets. Don't thinks you can plug in 3 petals. Just the sustain. You can definitly use headphones with no amp
Well Done! You are an amazing musician my friend! Best of luck to you in this life!
@scott93257 its because Katsunori Ujiie is very involved with these companies... especially Arturia as of late.
Never heard Uji speak English before?very cool.
AMAZING ARPEGGIATORS!!!! GREAT JAPAN ACTOR! CONGRAT!
Hi Katsunori, again super demo👌
Creative use of "Inner Wind" performance at the start. Great !!
@theapex81 IMO, 65% of the wave rom is consumed by the built in arpeggios and phrase generator. the rest were like new presets and good sounding pianos. :-)
Smaller screen and no pads like on the Fantom G but the black color is a welcome look and it sounds great. Just might have to get one.
Always wanted a Yamaha Motif. Only Synthesizer I have is the MicroKorg I use that for Playing Talkbox with.
the expression of voices especially saxophones and sounds and patterns of 'live' drums is amazing.

I've never seen sounds that realistic (especially the guitar).
Motif XF . Amazing keyboard.
at last a video of our man speaking in English :-) he is very talented
$2,500 for a new Motif XF6. The only difference between the 6, 7 & 8 is the number of keys. (sounds/engine are the same) If you get lucky on Ebay, you could probably pick up an used, FX6 for around $1,700.
IF Katsunori would make a review FOR THE GODDAMNIT EXCELENT TYROS, Tyros would be much more acclaimed and selled than never!
this is fantastic,... hopefully soon I will be able to pay for my motif xf
You can get the XF-6 for $2,100 on ebay brand new from top-rated sellers. I think I want the 88-key version which I can find for just over $3,000.
The Motif XF may not have much to offer me over my current XS8, but it sure looks a hell of alot cooler.
I agree that the Motif looks nicer in black even though I have just bought a Motif XS6. But surprisingly
the new samples in Motif XF pail in comparison to what I already have in Halion 7.
There is difference in what is speed and what is having better performance. I was talking about the speed. Try to make that difference before sending any stupid comments. Still the technology is from the stone age...:o))
They should start using FireWire800.
That is superb! Well demonstrated.
Yep, bought the XF8, along with HS80M's and a HS10W. Should be a total eargasm. And I'm nowhere NEAR this guys' level lol...I just want to make trance, happy hardcore, and dubstep.
great player and your English is very good i rusher you speak english so i can concentrate on the demo instead i have to read great cheers
The disco-electronic sound creation video (0:00 to 2:35) should be a seperate video. Starting at 2:37 is what most viewers came for....
I love this synth. Korg cant beat this studio synth. And I love the all new waweform :-D.
Oyasis can come close
Do the extra fingers to hold down the C and E keys while you adjust the sliders (1:33 - 1:48) come with the XF? If so, I'm IN!!!!
Can you use flash to load wavs from a hardrive and sequence them in ur tracks. I wanna add my own drums. Is there a way to create a userkit of all ur sounds and make beats/quantize/edit them the way you want?
Well done but the lack of polyphony will arrive when layering especially pads with several layers. I do prefer 256 voices polyphony instruments.
@Drajfovic Um, USB2 is 480 MB/s peak, not sustained. FW400 sweeps the floor with USB2. And have you calculated how much data you can transfer over FW400, and how many channels those are?
I have Korg Triton Pro X w/EXB-MOSS (analog modeling board) installed & a Yamaha Motif6 w/PLG150-AN ((analog modeling board) installed. I also have a Korg Kronos X 88.

I have a Motif 6 and was thinking the exact same thing!
@WeirdRicky yes!!! a korg m3, or a used Fantom G. just as nice.
Exellent Demonstration Katsunori :) thx
(any type of sound are useful in the proper situation!!! never say its cheap quality sound..) lol
I check this one out at sam ash today..... great keyboard!!!! the only thing I did not really like is the key bed. the keys feel too soft. I guess is a matter of taste but, I wish they would put a keys like the legendary Korg M1 had... which by the way had a key bed made by Yamaha. but over all this motif rocks... plus that flash option is amazing... I just hope it does not take 2 minutes to boot up when you have all that memory installed and filled with samples.
im getting this next. i got a roland fantom so now i want this for my collection
I think the powerhouse rig is a korg kronos 88 and a roland jupiter 80.... and now that Im hearing this yamaha I may have to stick that in there also
@puronicoya to me, it seems that m50 sounds just like m3 but I don't know.. of course kronos or even oasys are best keyboards, but they are for another budget.
I think this keyboard is designed for Live Performance pretty convenient. It's much more easier than Fantom Roland series, and of cause better than Motif XS indeed.
I really want this motif! guess im gonna have to save money for like a year amazing workstation, do you guys think there's one that's a cool workstation for a lower price? great video.
what is the song name ? 5:57 - 6:05
el glissando del bajo me sorprende gratamente, es genial
they don't even credit MUSICTRACKJP - the channel of the performer, Katsunori Ujiie.
My dream synthesizer
Listening to this demo again, I can't find any XF patch that sounds less good than even the newer Korg Kronos X.
Strings, piano, brasses, guitar, all is clearly better on the XF.
But why is it still so expensive !!
i need that motif xf!!
8:59 that could easily turn into an anime soundtrack
Great Demo!!!. Does anyone know what the price of this will be???
@theapex81 Thanks! i was looking at the fantom g its pretty awesome too.
@Horrorshow655321 Really? No new voices? Features? Any thing like that?Just memory expansion, and the use of flash?!?!?
@puronicoya I'm not so sure.. m50 kick asses! I've got 88 keys version and it's the best korg mechanics ever!
@Drajfovic Just to save you the arithmetic, that over 170 channels of 24 bit, 96 kHz. Let's round it down to 160, that gives you 80 stereo channels at studio quality.

Love it although the mox6 does practically all this for less than half the price . However I would love this keyboard it's amazing . Great demo.
I want to have this User Sound S600, S700 for motif xf7
Where do I download it for free?
He doesn't feels that good speaking english than in his japanese versions. I really apreciate him for making this! But....hey, i loved his japanese versions even i didnt understood a bit of it! Katsunori Ujiie for president!
Ok,I love the Yamaha sounds but what about that grey display?I want screen from fantom G on this machine!!!!!!
DragoG7 Yeah...that would really make it sound better!
+DragoG7 HA! to Pinkie Blu. It's actually the view angle that makes it look like that. You can choose from a few different colors.
we live the age of HD displays and they put simple led backlight to £ 3000 machine? ..silly yamaha silly
very nice interpretation, a great demo, we have to knowledge that english is not his mother language, for those people that are making fun try to speak Japanese,
The only way to convince you is that you convince your self. Suppose you have an computer with greate CPU's performance (Dont use craipe laptops)
1 - Download USB2 hi-speed with "good quality" (dont use the default ones as every one does for testing purposes...:-))..everything is the in good quality of the USB2 driver.
2 - Install driver and activate for hi-speed.
3 - Connect directly source to target (Dont use hubs in between since you will loose bandwith)
what song/melody is that at 4:40?
+dudemaster3000 the doors light my fire
Can you do a demo on the new Yamaha Tyros 4. Im thinking about trading in my
Clavinova CVP-207 for one. It seems to have all that the CVP-509 has and more just
not in the fancy cabinet.
Since this has the same S6 piano sound like the one in the Yamaha S70xs, does it still have the same harmonic problem found on the S70xs on the lower C, C#, D and Eb notes?!
These synthesizers are scarce to find anywhere at a music store or even online these days, good luck looking for one. They don't make them anymore.
Desde el 2016 ya no se fabrica, solo los venden usados

I recently played the Yamaha Motif XF 6 in a music store.
I really like the key feel of this keyboard, but am otherwise not sure if it is the right model for me.
Do any other Yamaha keyboards, maybe even MIDI controllers, have the keys / keybed of the Motif XF 6 (with 61 or 76 keys) ?
are those drums from the motif? like the knock
5:57 song?
my question is this though.. double the wave ROM, but does this instrument really sound THAT much better than the XS.... even more... better at all?
Although the XF looks nicer to be honest it's newer sounds are still of similar quality due to the Motif's hardware limitations.
Based on hearing that electric bass which is the same sound I already have in Halion 7 I think some of these sounds are still
better in Halion because with Halion that particulat bass sound uses wave cycling so you get random fret noises in Halion
( just like you would on a real bass guitar ) and as I don't have a bass guitar I want my electric basses to sound as realistic
as possible. I have recently bought a Motif XS as there are some sounds like the e pianos which do sound better on the
Motif and I also like the Motif's bell pad sounds as you can edit the sounds on Motif to your liking something you cannot
do in Halion but as I have mentioned on other comment replies most producers will only use a few sounds on the Motif
and use VST instruments or other romplers for other types of sounds.
Whats wrong with "just" 741 mb of sample ROM if it sounds good? I agree on the "nothing new" -comments though.
umm...personally as far as comparisons...the motif just sounds overall warmer. kronos is cool nice features, but it sounds a little thin to me. for kronos rhodes are great...pianos are realistic finally for korg, but a little thin. anyone else heard something different? let me add though aux sounds on kronos are amazing...but that's what I'd expect from korg.
@Drajfovic No, I just think you don't know what you're talking about, that's all. So far, with all your cases being rested, you haven't convinced me otherwise.
The ram is not almost double but it's more than double. 355 to 741?
very very nice keyboard...
muito bom esse motif é demais.
This is on the Montage 😃
