Yes, the discounted “pre-order options” for the Music Production video as a download or as a DVD have been sold out for a while now. I suspect that just means they aren’t offering the discounted price on these any longer. However, you can still buy it as part of a bundle (for example, Threefer Madness). While Motif XF Fully Loaded is a good DVD, it is not the equivalent of Music Production with Motif. It all depends on what you are looking for. Here is a brief summary of the available videos for the Motif XF: - The World of Motif XS - Covers the basics of the Motif XS. (While made for the XS, it applies equally well to the XF. Also available as part of the Full Motifation Special for Motif XS. - Motif XS Master Class - Picks up where the previous DVD leaves off, covering some of the more advanced topics. Again, this is for the XS but applies just as well to the XF. - Yamaha Motif XF Fully Loaded - This is a companion to the previous two DVDs; it does not replace them. This DVD covers the major difference between the XS and the XF - flash memory. “Fully loaded” refers to loading the flash memory; it does not cover the other aspects of the XF that are already covered in the previous two DVDs. - Music Production with Motif - The new DVD that shows how to use the Motif for music production. - Sound Advice - Covers voice editing, parameter settings (envelopes, filters, etc.), and effects. Written for the ES, but also applies to the XS and XF. I have all of these (if you count the pre-production version of Music Production with Motif) and they are all excellent and very useful. |

I would put in a good word for Keyfax, although Music production with Motif - download is a little disappointing.
As an overseas (Italian) Motif user I might have pre-ordered the product on December ‘14 and take advantage of the discount. Unfortunately I was not so smart to remember this offer was time limited and thus I ordered it at the beginning of January ‘15.
Why I said Music production with Motif is disappointing? Because it’s almost a 3.5 hrs mp4 file and there’s nothing included, i.e. chapters subdivision and relevant times. Thus, if some informations are already known and one wants to jump ahead,

First, many apologies for the prolonged appearance of the ‘preview’ version of the video. We will be uploading the final version ‘today’. On a long video such as this, people’s observations about it being unwieldy to navigate are perfectly justified. We have created a .pdf that provides all the scene start times and this will be included in the download final version. You can also view this information in any of the product specifications here in the shop. The final version of the video has been sliced into four separate files in order to make the video easier to download. We have done this before with longer videos such as Sound Advice. If there are those who’d prefer a single file, then we may also upload a smaller version, which won’t look so good at full screen but that will play and sound just fine when viewed small. We’ll keep an eye on how people feel about this and respond accordingly. Again, thanks for everyone’s patience. |

It is nearly February, and I still haven’t been provided a link to download the final version. When will this video be available for us? |

The links for the download version were sent out on or around January 17. If you ordered the downloadable version but haven’t received the email with the links, you should contact Keyfax to let them know. |
