*Please note that this product requires access to a high speed internet connection.
This video runs just under 3 hours in length and takes you through all aspects of Motif ES from basic navigation techniques to in depth guides to using the sequencer, sampling, 'Phrase Factory' (multiple arpeggios, preset beats, and the extremely hip Loop Remix feature), and running your ES with a computer in tow for editing, control, and data archiving.
Supporting the actual footage are text boxes with hints and tips, and plenty of music to give you a good idea as to how the ES sounds and behaves in the real world.
We weren't able to persuade Ben Affleck to get to grips with either playing keyboards in general or Motif ES in particular, so the program is presented by our next best choice: Athan Billias, one of the shakers and movers behind this incredible instrument.
