The Yamaha Motif ES is a great improvement on the the first Motif. Well the first thing that we do is set it up with cables, and get the inputs and outputs all going to the right systems. Once we have audio playback I set up the camera's on the front to show you how every button, knob, ribbon slider and fader works and while showing you all that I explain how they work with the software. This part requires your full attention and you may want play it back a few times to understand it fully. Once we finish with all the buttons, and there are a lot of them it's time to show you the sequencer section so we can start to make some music. First I explain beats and bars, sequence setup, quantize value or timing correction, and time signature. Now I pick an instrument so we go thru the process of finding instruments thru groups or just picking preset sounds, like some drums, then set the sequencer to record hit the right keys and start the Boom Bap to make the beat. Then I add some keys, a bass line, a guitar part, and some synth's and we got something. While doing the music we make sure that we mix the track at the same time so watch us carefully. It's the best way to make a track always mix it as you go along that way you learn how good or how bad it really sounds. We also add effects to any sound using the effect mode, like verb on the drums. This DVD will help you master the entire sequencing process of the Yamaha Motif. Then it's time for The Yamaha Motif ES DVD Part 2 to get the sampling down, with a CD player , a microphone, and even a computer and more on this cool machine from Yamaha.
