Sure, I studied Electronic Music at Northern Illinois University, have degrees in Music Synthesis and Music Production & Engineering from Berklee College of Music, blah, blah, blah. But I have to admit, it still is nice to have a knowlegable person walk you through a new piece of gear, even when the owner's manual is good and the screen display is large (and in color!) Athan Billias (a recognized synth expert for several decades now) gives you an enjoyable 3-hour walkthrough of every section of the Motif XS. It's chopped up into lots of chapters so you can enjoy it at your own pace or get right to the section you want to learn more about. When you finish a chapter you'll find yourself inspired to see how far you can push your Motif XS. Simply put... If you own or are buying a Yamaha Motif XS, this DVD is the best investment you can make towards completely enjoying this keyboard.
