VIDEO WILL HELP "MOTIFATE"

—DVD and VHS Instructional Manual for Motif Synthesizer Now Available—

BUENA PARK, CA (April 11, 2002)—Got Motif? Thinking about buying one? Get the most out of the Yamaha Motif Music Production Synthesizer with Get Motifated! This two-hour Video Manual—available in full-length DVD or VHS formats—has everything you'll need to start making music with Motif, from the basic "how-to" through advanced operation.

Separate chapters guide you through Voice and Performance modes, Pattern and Song sequencing, mixing, effects and more. You'll learn how to edit and control sounds in real time; how to arrange songs using real time pattern chaining; and how to add vocal phrases or even a guitar to a sequence. On the DVD version, chapter headings allow you to skip right to the section of your choice.

In addition, you'll see how artists from every musical genre have discovered the possibilities of Motif, including Mike Garson (David Bowie, Smashing Pumpkins), Linda Martinez (Destiny's Child), Chester Thompson (Santana) and Steve Hornbeak (Faith Hill).

Produced by KEYFAX NewMedia, Get Motifated! is available from authorized Yamaha dealers, or at Motifator.com. And while you're at it, check out the new look of Motifator.com. Buy the video here.
