First thing's first. If you haven't yet seen it, check out our first video on the Yamaha Motif XF, a friendly, under-five-minute clip introducing some of the new sounds on the updated flagship workstation from Yamaha. When you're done with that, strap in for this epic demonstration of the Motif XF's workflow and new sequencer features.

Don't worry, Yamaha rep Blake Angelos keeps the tone light, the pace breezy, and the licks tasty, making this 18:15-long video fly by as if it were a mere 16:35. We promise, it's worth it. Yu'll want to see the new user interface, sequencer worflow, integrated audio slicing, firewire connectivity and project sharing options in action—all standouts of this fantastic-sounding workstation.
