![]() And with MONTAGE Connect, I can share all my Moessieurs Performance content. Of course, the FM-X engine is gorgeous, as are all the new AWM2 waveform content. The two pianos, the CFX and the expansion Bösendorfer Imperial 290, are incredible and perfect for me. I really have to thank the great Yamaha consultant, Hans-Peter Henkel, for really helping me understand where MONTAGE is different. It is so new and represents a new way to work - and at the same time there are some definite points where it is similar to Motif XF. M: It is a beast! I first saw MONTAGE in April of 2016 at SuperBooth in Berlin and finally got one 2 months later in June. It's really impressive how many videos you have completed so far. After this I discovered the reface line - and was so impressed by the huge sound! I really love the reface DX because it brought me back to FM synthesis, so I produced a series of Moessieurs articles and videos on reface DX. It was around this time that I began both shooting in HD and adding English subtitles to my videos. After this, I worked on a series of videos on Karma Motif, the great software from Stephen Kay and articles about John Melas XF tools. It was there I met Peter Krischker from Easysounds for the first time - and had a wonderful time talking to him about this amazing new update to the Motif Series. M: Yes! In 2010 when the Motif XF came out, I was invited by my friend, Nicolas from Yamaha France, to attend a preview of the XF in Hamburg. This is when Moessieurs expanded beyond the Motif series and into other areas of music production. That was such a powerful system, and I began to offer training support for other musicians. After that, I acquired the N12 mixing console and used the XS and N12 with Cubase, all connected to my computer via FireWire. Then the Motif XS came out and there were so many great improvements in WaveROM, arpeggios, effect processing - like VCM, faders, knobs and the color screen. It was great to have them inside my Motif ES and listen to them through my Yamaha MSP5 studio monitors. I did videos first on the Motif ES and then discovered the PLG Series of Expansion cards and created both videos and articles on the DX, AN and VL cards. YS: So it all began with the Motif ES, but over the years you have done videos on other Yamaha products as well. I have continually upgraded my system to keep up with the times since then. I upgraded my system and purchased better quality equipment and editing software. M: I started with a computer webcam, a simple microphone and soundcard, but quickly realized I needed better quality. Can you tell us a bit how your process evolved? YS: The production quality of your MONTAGE videos is really good. "Moessieurs" was born and it sounds great in French! The name "Moessieurs" comes from a combination of "MOtif ES UsER", but MOESUR didn't sound very good in French."Monsieurs" in French means "Mister" so the website name came from these two words "Moesur" and "Monsieurs". YS: It looks like the French word "Monsieur". I wanted to use that experience to create a website in French, for French users, based on that experience - and in late 2004, the Moessieurs website was born. I have a job in an industry where I lead professional trainings and I know how to train properly. M: I wasn't completely satisfied with the help I was providing on the Audiokeys forum and wanted to do something better. YS: Tell us how you came up with "Moessieurs". ![]() I started translating Bad Mister tips and posting them on the French forum "Audiokeys," along with answering other end-user questions. M: Yes! After that I discovered with all the great answers to end-user questions by Phil "Bad Mister" Clendeninn, Blake Angelos and Tony Escueta. YS: The Motif ES really impressed you, I take it! In 2003, I saw my first video on the Motif ES featuring Bert Smorenburg - and it was love at first sight! It was a good workstation, but I felt something was missing. M: I started playing in a cover band and quickly realized I needed something more in my keyboard set up, so I bought a Korg Triton LE. YS: Tell us about your musical experience as a keyboardist. I initially played music just as a hobby but started both playing and DJing for parties with family and friends. Moessieurs (M): My first synth was a Yamaha DX100 followed by a Yamaha PSR-730. Yamahasynth (YS): What was your first Yamaha keyboard? Yamahasynth caught up with musician and creator, Joël Borg, for a brief interview about his experience with Yamaha synthesizers and the creation of his Moessieurs YouTube Channel. From France comes a series of well-produced and informative videos from " Moessieurs". ![]()
