will the alesis vortec wireless will also run in motif xf same as your demo when you plugged the vortex's dongle directly to the Kronos?

How do you play as sampled waveform as a voice I can only load a waveform from usb but I can only play it in the intergrated sample page I can’t find my loaded samples on any other page

[Welldone]

6:00 once reaching the saving procedure, should I worry the new patch replacing an existing ?

I've Bought the MOTIF XF because it sounded great & had FW/Cubase mode. As a synthist/VDrummer, my experience saving User presets has been Korg, Roland even Simmons & Yamaha FX racks. Simple. You save in a User bank & your sound was there until the battery died. Why I had to buy $400 memory chips so my sound edits are there in User banks after power off, is the most inexplicable idea, I never would've considered in design.
Until I operated it at home, I did not know how messed up Yamaha MOTIF User banks were: I thought it was me! I bought a DVD. Time wasting, over complicated file system for USB, FW & ''optional chipset''. Yes, it's silly. Who made this dis-advance in User common sense...was not fired. My work flow was destroyed.

I bought mine in 2014 but after two years with very little use and without moving it from the place I put it in my house when I bought it it started to show some very serius problems. The touch buttons with the arrows only respond to up and down but when I try to go left or right they dont respond and this has made for the last three years my recordings impossible. I even spent allá the money in order to try to plug it to my iPad so I could make my recordings using garage band App but to make things worst the Yamaha motif xf sinthezisers seem to be about the only ones that need to be configured in order to be recignized by an iPad!!!!
Therefore by not being able to move left or right on my screen I was never able to get my iPad to recognize my motif.
I am frustrated and very dissappointed with this sinthesizer and I wiuld not recommend it to anyone.

I hope Yamaha makes piano keyboard with touch screen.

[jameslagas]

I suggest to focus the camera on the keyboard demonstration rather than your face. Your voice can be heard either way.

I've seen some presentations before Ie: by Michel Voncken or Peter Baartmans and they both let the instrument talk. I think too much talking and too little instrument playing. Also when listening to this with window minimised it almost sounds like an instructions manual converted into an audio book. No offence just an opinion.

[looneyburgmusic]

As much as I love Yamaha synths, I absoultly *HATE* the fact that Yamaha still will not allow us to save over presets. It's a terrible waste of patch space to have banks and banks of read-only sounds.

"Bad Mister" ? Can never understand why individuals give themselves such dumb names, is it supposed to impress or increase credibility? Otherwise a very useful video.
