    Hey, Forgive me if this has been posted already... http://www.motifator.com/ This I believe is Yamaha's official Motif website, anyone with technical questions about the regular and new ES version should go here. Take care, Nick

    any other motif rack users?

    Hey, I don't have a Motif, but you hit on a key point: PROGRAMMING To get the most out of this thing, you will have to learn how to program it a little. If it comes with a software editor, you should load it onto your machine and see all that Yamaha power under the hood. If it doesn't...

    lost with midi

    Hey, If you're not satisfied with the way the loops sound that you've made, you may want to look into getting a wave editor or multitrack recorder program. With them you can layer, chop, reverse, add effects etc.. You're right, Reason will only record the pattern of the notes that you...

    ****oxygen 8 Problems****

    Hey, You may be able to do something called 'step recording' where the sequencer automatically records any note that you hit at a preset length and velocity when you hit a key. Otherwise, you can simply hit the record button and play the notes in at the lengths and pitches that you want...

    Damn Metric System...

    Hey, In England people are weighed in stones as well as pounds. 1 stone = 14 pounds. I weigh 155 pounds, so in England I would weigh 11 stones 1 pound. Don't know if everyone there does this, though, I haven't lived there for a few years. Take care, Nick

    NWH: best group ever!

    Hey, No, it was a mockumentary about gangster rap made in about '92, it just got released last week on DVD. If you like old NWA, PE, Ice-T, you should check out the soundtrack. And you should check out the movie, it's pretty funny. Take care, Nick

    best instrument from any song.....

    Hey, Recently I picked up the Come to Daddy EP by Aphex Twin, it's given me a new look on music and I can't wait to get back to programming sounds again. There are three main sounds that I like: 1. To Cure a Weakling Child (Contour Regard)...one of the lead sounds is snippets from a...

    Vinage Pro Keys as Controll Keyboard?

    Hey, I usually stay clear of synth demos, they always sound like gay coctail jazz music programmed by Japanese businessmen...Emu is an American company, maybe theirs are different. The 5050 is a very nice piece of gear, if you decide to get one, make sure to get a copy of Sound Diver to...

    Vinage Pro Keys as Controll Keyboard?

    Hey, When looking for a controller, I always like to make sure that it has thefollowing: 1. Semi wieghted keys. Light keys feel like a toy, weighted are too heavy for me. 2. Velocity sensitive. An absolute must for me, otherwise all my sounds are static when I play them. 3...

    what exactly is an arpeggiator good for???

    Hey, A little known secret... If you use an arpeggiator on a drum kit, you can sometimes get some really interesting drum patterns that you wouldn't normally think of programming yourself. That's the beauty of an arpeggiator: if you use it as a tool for sound creation, you can sometimes...

    Fact or Fiction? you tell me...

    Hey, The guy is 100% is serious. I'm grew up listening to bands like Metallica and Anthrax, a lot of you probably don't remember just how crazy everything they did was at the time. Metal raised the same stink back then that rap raises today, the stoners at school all had freaky hair, drank...

    Kurtzwell Keyboard

    Hey, A friend of mine has one, it is a really hard synth to work with. I don't know why they cost so much: they're a pain to program, they're big and klunky, and they have all sorts of features I would never use. I think it costs so much because of all the nice added features it comes...

    Mic With Computer

    Hey, A good vocal recording mic should have an XLR plug and require a preamp to boost the signal to line level before sending it into the line input of your soundcard. Condenser mics are very popular for vocals, you can get a nice cheap russian Oktava condenser for about $150. You will...

    dumb reason questions

    Hey, Don't use the matrix sequencer to program chords, it is designed to behave like a simple 303-style step sequencer. I'm not 100% familiar with the program, but I'm sure that there is a normal piano roll editor in which you can put in a bunch of notes. You'll have to look for it, it should...
