Videos Available for MOTIF

There are currently three videos available for purchase from www.motifator.com, or by calling KeyFax at (831) 460-0172.

Get Motifated Volume One is the video for the new user to Yamaha or Synthesizers. This 2 hour DVD Video Manual contains all the material you’ll need to start cranking out great music on MOTIF. The program covers all the basics of navigating Voice, & Performance modes, setting up MOTIF for multi-timbral use, applying multi-timbral effects, both Pattern and Song sequencing, and a complete guide to using the MOTIF sampling features from new sounds, to new grooves, to sampling in live guitar parts. With musical interludes from some monster MOTIF users like Mike Garsen (Smashing Pumpkins), Chester Thompson (Santana), Steve Hornebeak (Faith Hill), and others, this is a program that can both be watched right through or just dipped into when you need help on a specific topic. Produced by KEYFAX NewMedia.

Get Motifated Volume Two is a video that covers tips, tricks, and techniques. It covers a whole raft of MOTIF programming and application issues from installing a new OS, how to organize your work, live application techniques (utilizing Masters, footpedals, controllers..), installing and using PLG boards, the Voice Editor and how MOTIF communicates with your computer, Arpeggios, and much more.

New in this program are ‘Mo-Tips,’ short segments from some of Yamaha US’s top product specialists: Tony Escueta showing you how to set up and use the Breath Controller, Phil ‘Bad Mister’ Clendeninn on syncing up internal and AN board arpeggios, Blake Angelos on programming some cool bass effects.
