Yamaha announced the Winter NAMM 2002 introduction of a video manual for the Motif Music Production Synthesizer. Available in full-length VHS or DVD formats, the 2-hour guide takes the user through topics ranging from basic "how-to" through advanced operation. The Motif Video DVD and Motif Video VHS each carry an MSRP of $29.95 and are now available. Current owners will be able to register at www.motifator.com and receive a copy of the video free of charge.
"This practical instructional video brings the music production capabilities of Motif to life," explains Athan Billias, marketing manager, Digital Musical Instruments. "It answers the most-often asked questions that a customer might have, and will also help dealers to train their sales staff."
Separate chapters are available for Voice, Performance, Pattern, Song, Mixing, Effects, Master, Navigation and Utility. On the DVD version, chapter headings allow the user to quickly skip to the section of choice. Highlights include: 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 guitars to a sequence.
In addition, the video features Motif artists from around the world and every musical genre, including, among other, Mike Garson (David Bowie, Smashing Pumpkins), Linda Martinez (Destiny's Child), Grip Smith (Jagged Edge) and Steve Hornbeak (Faith Hill).
"The format of this video is designed to put the user at ease and help them to get the most out of Motif," adds Avery Burdette, product manager, Digital Musical Instruments. "Plus, a visual example always has more impact than a standard printed manual."
