5pinDIN is my teacher. ... The comfort I have in knowing that I won’t get on the wrong side of stuck on my motif’s functionality feels good. When I researched workstations, I liked the cumulative combination of features the Motif XF had. The large learning curve reputation was clear. As was that of this forum’s addressing of it. Before purchasing I came to Motifator - a lot - to learn. And of course, that’s where I was introduced to our honoree, here. I liked that some of the support came from a representative of Yamaha. And that some did not. That made for a truly excellent balance.

Motifator.com and 5pinDIN played a significant role in my purchasing of my Yamaha Motif. And now, they have played a significant role in my command of my Yamaha Motif. And this instrument is taking me places I’ve hoped it would.

Not only has 5pinDIN been exhaustively instructive, 5pinDIN is patient & kind.

Thanks lastmonk. Primarily I want to help Motif users, and hope to see Motifator continue. Yamaha may have mixed feelings about me, since while what I do may indeed help their sales, I occasionally criticize them for certain policies. I own several pieces of Yamaha gear, but I have no connection with the company and my loyalty isn’t unconditional - I’m not a “fanboy”.

Well, if they’re smart they’ll take you’re criticism and improve where they can.  Although I am a fanboy, I will still throw stones LOL.

If the official Yamaha staff could be like their friends at Korg… I mean you can find regular goodies,os updates and free stuff,people with real knowledge which are very helpful,it would be great! Yamaha should more support their customers (sic) afterwards and for some years. I think 5pinDIN you are a highly knowledgeable and helpful person and you like very much what you do! You help us Motif/Mox users to learn all the capabilities of our instruments and make better music! So finally ,Yamaha also learn from you how to support musicians ... Mr.5pinDIN you are absolutely terrific!

it’s very nice to see the love in this thread.

Sorry only just seen this thread. I’d like to add my congratulations and thanks to 5pinDIN for all the time and effort :)

If it wasn’t for him I’d still be ripping my hair out trying to get to grips with the MOXF6 and the peripherals like amp connections etc. When I first got this synth I had no clue whatsoever what I was doing and was very frustrated with the menu structures etc. I do remember his words saying that this synth is very deep and well worth spending time getting to know. That stuck with me and I’m so glad I believed it !!!

Thanks to dsetto, keramox, philwoodmusic, and jg666.

I want all of you to know that I value our discussions as well.

Any news on the new legendary status yet?

I’m happy to report that the status upgrade has been approved by the powers that be!  What’s the hold up then, you ask??  The Lady Behind the Desk is having a hard time coming up with an appropriate new status!  I would LOVE your input!

Legacy Laureate

I think ‘Jedi Knight’ is what you normally do, but I rather like ‘Central Scrutinizer’.

I’d rather 5pinDIN chose.

Maybe a simple ‘Legend’ would be appropriate in this case since the man himself is also rather humble.
At least in here, I don’t know him. :-)

After much thought, googling words and really expanding my vocabulary (which this California girl says is totally rad!), I had to agree that the Legend status was the way to go.  5PinDIN is deserving of all your kind words and more.  As of today, he is officially our Motifator Legend.
