- Gearwire Labs - Synth Lab Video: Product specialist Allen Gore puts Yamaha's flagship keyboard workstation through its paces in Gearwire's exclusive Motif 6 demo video. Record and slice samples, sequence MIDI and audio, build performances, layer voices, and much more. Get the full scoop on Yamaha's Motif page.
I saw this guy in a musical instruments store just outside Baltimore like over twenty years ago explaining the Motif 6 Not too long after that I bought a Motif 6, which I still use today.
Motif was actually the first Yamaha synth where acoustic sounds really sounded like the real acoustic instrument. In previous models samples where so heavily compressed that acoustic sounds didn't really sound acoustic.
Let's just say Yamaha was the first the Tyros and a few other boards they made in the mid to late 90s
My 'go to' keyboard, had it for years, never disappoints. I probably have not heard all the voices yet, believe me, I listen to them.
When I tried the original Motif, I was honestly extremely underwhelmed. When the Motif ES was released, I was completely overwhelmed! The ES had those phenomenal mega voiced guitar and bass voices, as well as a vastly expanded fx section where you could have to to 8 separate multi fx at once when using the instrument multi timbrally. The polyphony was increased by more than double to 128 voices up from 62. It really was a huge step forward from the original Motif IMHO.

The main difference is that the MOTIF(6) is a sampler (arranger keyboard with sampling unit).
The MO6 has no sampling unit. But the MO6 has more flexible and modern preset pattern/arranger styles so that you are more flexible on composing different music styles on the fly.The sound engine is roughly the same.The main difference is if you need to sample your own sounds and things..for live performances etc... I use the MOTIF6 for that reason-for backing vocal samples on stage.
Very powerful synth.
I have this. Still bought Nord Stage 4 but misses the sequencer.
Im not sure if Youre able to connect them midi/sequencerwise.
You need an overview shot of keyboard when making selections.. cannot adequately see what keys are being accessed
Powerful one!

Hi.
UnfortunateIy I don`t work with the internal sequencer of the Motif ´cause I simply use `em as an external sample&sequence&sound-player for "on the fly-composing" and he was a gift of a friend for a few weeks ago (without a manual). For so far I haven`t dealt with it (to import midi-files).
Typically it should work with midi-bulk or midi dump request but do not ask me how&where to find this function in the menu :D
The navigation is very unusual with the Motif :(
My next keyboard (now that I know exactly what I want) is a Motif XS6. :)
@ForceStudios Greetings. I have a Motif 7 (classic) and would like to know how one imports a midi file saved on a computer. I have a USB-midi cable but what are the steps needed for there is hardly any info useful on the subject for the classic Motif.
Appreciated.
1:33 Sound name
"procession"
sound category
"Combination"
Changing those sections on the fly. Can those changes be recorded?
This video the synth is only through the microphone. Would have been better through mixer directly.
I do not get it. He says there are over 800 sounds within the Motif, but when you look at the specs on other websites like Yamaha or Wikipedia, it has 384 sounds. What?
Sean Kalifut it has 800 wave sounds but only 300+ programs/voices ... some programs are a combination of waves... but you can mix and match to make u r own programs
Hugh Carter I gathered that three years ago. He said sounds which is another term for presets or programs. I knew he messed up in his terminology. Since I own an XF, I know how hard it is for people to confuse waveforms and the actual presets.
This video was made shortly after lectricity was invented
How do I assign a sound/voice to a button so I can switch sounds//instrument with just the touch of a button? Thanks so much
Where can i get this repaired and mainted
The only huge complaint I have against modern keyboards is your limited to their 700 or 1,000 amazing sounds or voices, where can I buy a keyboard where I can load samples into and alter them
Does the Motif explain how the sound is made? I love the Pulse Wound and Foreplay sound. I tried to create that sound in Propellerhead Reason but no luck. I bought a Yamaha Motif Refill pack but it was not a good buy for me. There was only one note velocity.
I love how the sound changes on different velocities. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?
All Sounds in MOTIF are made of samples. My XF7 got up to 8 Elements per sound, so I can build a new sound by using up to 8 different Waveforms. There´s no Oscillator working, you may change the LFO for each waveform
Awesome. Thanks a lot.
As per motif and motif es, The synth engine is awm2, you get 4 oscillators with their own effects
He's talking and acting like a motif Magician
@setitstraight100 You can fine a few of them on ebay
Is this synth multitimberal? I cant record more than 1 voice in logic, when I change sound on 1 track, all sounds from the mo6 gets changed....
Drum machines and/or MIDI controllers are usually a bit better for that kinda stuff.
does have brass section too? like horns,trumpet,saxophone and such?
Yes it does and they are quite good sounds.
Can we do it on Krome such thing
can i use this as a midi cuz it has a usb port but i dont know where to get a driver but is it an least possible
Dalibor Pacaj yes you can.. you can get the driver from the Yamaha site
Can it transpose
hi what are some of the main differences between the MO6 and the motif ?
steflova2 motif has audio inputs and sampling
Mo6 doesn’t have that
I hope you can help me out. I keep getting a disk error or disk not ready with or without the memory card in.
Jean cherfils have you contacted Yamaha?
Check 1:58
Simple question: This or ES?
Either one.
Hair gel much, Al Gore? Just joking sir. Btw, how's that Nobel Prize working for ya?
great keyboard but doesn't this guy look like he was animated into the shot along with the keyboard
800 voices? How many of them are worthless, like the ones I have on my PSR E-333? Gunshots? People burping? Really, Yamaha!
By God's Grace I own a motif and I love them for a special reason
I don’t know why but I always felt every sound has a different DNA because of the synth engine
I mean okay, it’s not as powerful as today’s awm2 engine but it was a very demanding keyboard back then as it still is today
Which keyboard has people burping?
and anybody can write on Wikipedia jajaja
go yamaha site and read the specs
That may be true about Wikipedia, but I did list Yamaha's website in my original comment!
Sean Kalifut 1,024 Waveforms............from these waveform
people who know..........can make any sound posible
read and get into programing.......then read winkipedia
Juan Roca I was not talking about the waveforms. I was talking about presets. The Motif Classic has 384 presets (voices). Like I said, I have a Motif XS and I am amazed by what it can do, so I am not complaining about the number of voices in the Classic. I just thought it was funny that Allen Gore (who is a product specialist) said that the Classic had over 800 presets (voices) when it has 384. You took my comment as a complaint and that was the wrong interpretation on your part. Name calling and scolding should not be who you are. Once again, I thought what Allen Gore said was funny. What is so difficult about that?
Sean Kalifut One more thing. I listed Yamaha's website in my original comment and the site says 384 presets. It was not a complaint about the number of sounds. I listed more than one website to show that the specs are the same between a company's website and a fully editable one. Sounds like you need to get off your Wikipedia argument and focus on what people write! LOL!! Stay cool my friend!
Horrible green screen lol
Dumm pleople complaining about the 800 voices jajajaja
this keyboard came out on 2001
that was alot......please read pleople read
