Hey man! So cool to read, I am truly honored by your message :)! God bless

You are truly inspired. I never knew anyone could draw such deep emotion from a piano of ANY kind!

I love to watch your hands play....it help me relax...I love your touch on the keys, from the sound that come out I can feel your soul. Thank you for your play, thank you for your soul!!!

God bless you! Your new synthesizer is a gift to all of us!

Presently bidding on ebay for my MOTIF XS6 and I wait on get it. This guy even convince me more to pay the highest bid for my keys. His playing is so sensational. To God be the Glory. Hats off to Yamaha ;)

oh my gosh, i love this! You're right when you say your gift is from God because I can hear him in your music. Thank you for inspiring and giving the glory to Him!

You're probably one of the best (the best so far )worship piano players on KZread! It's amazing! God Bless

I added it to my favourites. It is beautifully played.

The best..wonderfull...grande ..maravilhoso...lindos Pianos do XS

Dear friend Rick, You say in the more info: that sounds pretty nice, I would say: AMAZING - WONDERFUL - VERY GOOD SOUND!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece and very good playing with us, Mayka and me enjoyed your playing sooooo much!! I got the cold shivers over my body again, I can understand you play in several Bands, we wish you a lot of succes ofcourse. My compliments for you in the future, 500******* (en dat is niet overdreven!!) Ere wie ere toekomt. Bye Chris en Mayka.

Wow. Psh, I don't even know what to say... So moving and anointed and inspiring.

Outstanding performance! You have really shown youtube community why the Motif XS is an excellent synth.

You are very talented! Great to see you using it for God's glory! God bless!

Bro, You really have done a great job with this one! I'm also a pianist and a MWS fan and you served his music just right! Every emotion of the song came out as the song is intended. God bless you and with I greet you in the Love of Jesus

Good Music. Original style. My daughter loves M W Smith, and I like him too.

BEAUTIFUL *****

Excellent playing. Thank you for sharing!

You play it so lovely! Never ever heard anyone play so good on the paino. GBU! Anke

I-L-O-V-E-I-T! Thank you for share your talent with us! ; ) Praise the LORD, because everything He does is wonderful! \o/

Healing music.

Beautiful playing...sounds so good and soothing.

very good job :)

very nice performance you have strong skills, nice that you share this great music:))

yup... i can name em all :P wow congrats on the Motif! it rocks, huh?!! Rick, man, my brother, gosh mere words alone don't EVEN do justice to your playing. Indeed you DO have a gift, an incredible, beautiful gift from God Himself (I truely believe that's what it is), and I'm thankful that you attribute that TO Him! Amen, my brother. He is EVERYthing. Even when we lose sight of that at times, He.. still IS. You don't need merely more "your really good" comments. Rather, THANK YOU for sharing! =)

again, very nice job bro

Nice one dude.. I love classical music. It aides me in having a relax mind.

I agree. The real piano touch is really hard to some. Most are just used to weightless keyboard keys. But he plays it like a pro. God job. Love that a christian is using the best keyboard in the world to worship God

Cara. Super incrível!! Parabéns!!

Yes it sounds nice!🔥🔥🎵🎶🎹

nice done this play, i like the piano sound very much, relaxing stuff you play, and that sort of music is great, i have love gospel since yearly years. my favourite is koinonia.

Perfeito este belo Grand Piano ...mas o merito é todo seu pela qualidade deste Motif XS8

Very beautiful song! Robbie

Thanks for This Kind Piece so Well Played

Super wie immer.

awww, nice play!!

i'm not religous in any way but having heard this i went and listened to a lot of michael w smiths music,i'm not a big fan of the lyrics but musically i liked quite a few of them ,but i would have to say your medley is way better,thanks.

I enjoyed this very much also. MWS is one of my favorites, AND I too have a Yamaha Motif XS8! I imagine that since you recorded this in March you've discovered the many other wonderful sounds the instrument has and more of the incredible things it can do, but the grand piano sound is excellent. And I'm guessing that like me you started out on 88 keys with nothing to plug in, eh? God bless you! A fellow believer and musician in Texas, USA

impresioannte... !!! felicitaciones!!!:.. fantastic congratulation.. god is good!! aleluya

WOW.. very impressive dude! Awesome God sounded exactly like the smitty version :)

Klinkt erg goed :-)

This one is also very very good. I did not heard one fault in it. BIG piece of music!

Great!!!

@ikkejick Thanks for input. I wasnt sure if it did have the Motif engine or if I was getting smoke blown up my ass by the seller, but thanks for confirming that it does use the Motif ES engine. Main reason why I didnt go with the Motif is because it's wayyyy too expensive for me -- I figured spending $600 on my used MM8 was a great idea for a great keyboard with great sound!

Excelente apresentação, amigo! Poste mais videos!

ikkejick, I come back from time to time to listen. Very well played. I can only imagine how the tonal quality would be like with the Ivory virtual piano.... because you have very good touch sensitivity to the keys (most don't have that quality)

Nice!!

Mooi!

HEALING RAIN!!

wow nice...i would definetly reccomened the XS 88, the sound quality even tells me something...

Awesome well done! I'm blessed! please do an Amy Grant on your awesome Korg Kronos too! Thanks and God bless you always!

You play very very very good, good bless you. I' pianist and I' not speak english........:D sorry for my english. now in spanish Me encanta como tocas la verdad es que sos muy bueno haciendolo te felicito. Yo tambien soy pianista.

Very nice playing! I couldn't decipher what the first song was, I got all the others.

echt supr goed! tis echt supr mooi!!! X.sarah.X

Could u do a full clip of "Secret Ambition" please :)

Gotta get me one of these. At 3 grand it's a steal.

I have to say I don't know his music, but I will check it out :)!

Very Nice! God bless you [Spanish] Muy Bueno! [Portuguese] Muito Bom!

@ikkejick Does this keyboard come in 88-keys?

owja, en nog 1 van freedom aan het begin.

Just beautiful. I am agressively searching for a full-featured synth workstation, and the XS8 has really caught my eye. Your presentation, as well as many online demos, really sells the capabilities - all much more capable than my own keyboarding abilities. Have you found any other board(s) that you would trade-in your XS8 for?

Thanks. By original you mean the one that comes on when I turn the xs on? Great playing on this and the titanic :)

ke bonito

Show, este som, poderia colocar mais uns vídeos.

I now have my Yamaha MOTIF XS6 but need to know a couple of stuff from you ikkejick's. I need to tune my Full Concert Grand sound to sound like yours. Are yo uusuing a FC3 sustain pedal, did you alter your sound?

@ikkejick Does the Motif XS8 have 61 keys or more? I cant tell!

what piano patch are you using. Or does anybody know?

Hi. Great!!!!!!!!!! very nice! can you combine this piano sound (S90 sampler) with other voice like strings or bells???

What speakers do you use?

Really, Really NICE!! What is the name of the first song?

Ton piano fait un tres bon son :)

:) like me,, lol we need classes... Sometimes I feel bad to have such a nice keyboard and don't put as much effort to learn it.

dude... kick ass stuff! u play full and full by ear or do u read music too?? and what abt this video?? by ear or sheet music??? am jus awestruck!! i feel this sounds much beta than smitty's!!

Great medley... can you say me the title of the first song in the intro? Take care and God bless... Alessio (Italy)

What’s the first song named

Hey Mart, ik doe ook andere dingen met mijn synthesizers ;-)! Maar inderdaad: die motif kan meer dan ik hier laat zien. Opnemen is echter wel een stuk makkelijker met een synth, dus daarom doe ik ook deze video's met mijn motif. En een piano/vleugel staat nog op mijn verlanglijstje, maarja, ruimtegebrek ;)

a keyboard is only as good as the speakers it is played through. Help me on this... the Motif has no internal speakers...right? Therefore, what are you playing through for this video. Sounds awesome...

ik herken Friends, awesome god en healing rain. zitten er nog meer in? mzzls, Maarten

me too i have it.and i need practice.

No, it's the full grand of the XS :) I decided I liked that one better..

Kijk trouwens ook eens op motifator . com voor extra sounds waaronder de S90ES piano. Je moet er alleen wel wat extra ram in hebben zitten....

I'd rather have my Yamaha MM8, since I heard has the same engine as the Motif and sounds great just like the Motif. No difference in sound. I'm sure the Motif is the keyboard for professionals and technically better, but I'll never play on stage, even though the Yamaha MM8 would be good for that as well. Bought my Yamaha MM8 for 600 and extremely happy with it.

Hey bruh... Please give me the name of your sound... I am looking for that specific sound!

+Kevin Fernandez Gatgens Hey, I am sorry, I can't recall that specific sound.. I sold my XS8 so I can't check it for you. Only thing I know is that this is a factory preset, so if you've got your hands on a Motif XS it shouldn't be too hard to find.
