My New Synth - Yamaha MODX - EDM 

Thank you Andy so much for getting back to me and allowing me to keep this track - I really like it. You have got a good talent as you seem to be doing a lot of things. I have noticed you had MODX and that was one of the reasons I wanted to make that video. I have only had MODX for about three days before making that video it was new to me. I am a yamaha synth user for over 20 years but MODX seems to have a different menus and operational logic - I have had to use the manual and watch a few tutorials myself to speed things up. I am planning to do a number of videos comparing the MODX - Montage - Motif XS. Also, are you happy with Fantom - I have to say that considering you had MODX and did not do as much as you have done on Fantom - I am under the impression that Fantom is a super easy to use and started looking into getting one. Would you recommend it?

I am new to keyboard music and am looking for my first keyboard. What would you recommend?

oh man, a showdown/face-off like this would be great!!!!!

Thanks mate - I am glad you liked it!!!

Glad you like it! Thank you for watching!!!

Glad you liked it - thank you for watching!

Thank you - I should be coming up with some great content (if you are interested in some music stuff)

Thank you for watching and for your comment. Unfortunately, I have sold my MODX in favour of Roland Fantom 06 so would not be able to do any tutorials. Thanks

Thank you and I am glad you liked it as much as I do!!!

Same stuff here - I think I should have all the backed up files so should be possible if I get MONTAGE one day. I may do similar videos on the gear I currently have to give you some ideas on doing the stuff like that. Thank you for your time!

Thank you for your comment. MODX is the hardest synth to master I have ever come across thanks to its endless options and possibilities. So, sometimes too much GOOD could be BAD :-)

Thank you so much for your comments. After a few days I also prefer my version as it seems to be more 'energetic' - not sure how to describe that. I hope to do more soon.

Thank you for watching the video and for your comment. For this one I have done every track myself but I do not mind using arpeggios. I have to say that when I want to do something serious I would never use arpeggios - it would take me much longer to find what I need as oppose to making one myself! Thank you for your time!!!

Ohh, you know... I was having exactly the same thought a few weeks after buying Roland and selling my MODX. I think it would be a great combo for sure!!! Thanks for watching!!!

Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!

Thank you for your comments. I will try to get something done over the Christmas time as my current work commitments leaves me no time for anything!!!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you for your comment. The lead sound I have used is made of three sounds. You can download it to your MODX from here soundmondo.yamahasynth.com/voices/94410 You need to use CHROME browser as it is the only one that can do the job, connect your MODX to your computer using USB, create an account (I think you need one to download the sound) and then click SYNC (when it is green - meaning the connection to your MODX is established) - and you will get the Performance to your keyboard. You would get all the sounds but it would not play anything. I am thinking of making another video with the explanations of how I have made this as well as how to pay it on your MOTAGE/MODX. Please keep checking my latest and I hope to make it within the next few weeks. Thank you

@@amateurmusicstudio I love electronic music and that synth lead is so dreamy. I will download it and thank you for making the video and look forward to the others.

Thank you!!!

Hi there. My apologies - it is well overdue. I am currently busy with my main work but I will try to do it around Christmas time. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts - it was very helpful!

Thank you!!!

Thank you for watching and for your comment - I am glad you liked it!!!

Спасибо за комментарий и просмотр!

Hi Hinky. Thank you for your comment - the comparison video between Yamaha Motif XS - Montage - MODX is coming soon - please stay tuned.

Nice keyboard for the price!!!!

Hi there and thank you for your comment. Apologies for the late response. I will try to make a few videos in the next week or so including the step-by-step you have asked for... Thanks

Thank you for your comment. I am new to MODX/Montage series although I have been using Yamahas for more than 20 years ( a lot of them) and it was easy for me to adapt to any new keyboard released but MODX seems to have a completely different architecture of menus and operations. I will be doing the comparison video shortly between Motif XS and MOD and Montage. In this video I have not gone with arpeggios but recorded loops. I only had the MODX for 3 days before making the video and I was not sure what would work best for me but I have considered ARPS. MODX surprisingly is more powerful than a lot of people think but it comes with its own drawbacks too - I hope to make a separate video on this subject too. Thank you

@@amateurmusicstudio You can save your loops as user arpeggios. It is a bit tricky, especially when it comes to the question how the chord recognition should work. To share these with other users is not easy, too. I once wanted to demontrate that it works to share a custom arpeggio via Soundmondo. It was a lot of work, I must admit. There is a demo on RU-vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oziTocsuX0c.html I also used Yamaha keyboards for over 30 years and, yes, it was also a change for me at the beginning. But to compare it to the Motif, I do not want to go back. The possibility to save individual patch parameters with every user performance is such a big step forward. And the arpeggio function is much better than in the Motif XF: 8 patches directly playable through the keyboard instead of 4 and 8 scenes instead of 5! As a DAW user I miss the possibility to freely adjust MIDI channels to the patches. This should be corrected by the next OS update (Yamaha, please listen to us users). I look forward to your comparison of different Yamaha synth generations.

@@amateurmusicstudio Agree - the number of buttons you need to press to program anything is a bit overwhelming for the beginner... but it started to make sense to me after about 12 months of mucking around (part time).

Thank you for our comment. It is really challenging this keyboard to get those to work. For years I used to master any keyboard without any help videos or reading the manual but I could not operate this properly until I watched some of the tutorials available on RU-vid. Please search RU-vid as there are some nice tutorials that cover those topics. Thanks

Obrigado pelo seu comentário e por assistir ao vídeo. Vou me esforçar mais da próxima vez!!!
