Asking the guy to upload the Sales Receipt,to prove to you he does or has Bought one c'mon its not a criminal investigation, :? Does it bother you that Much that he needs to prove anything to you or to any of us??
Although I might not agree with his opinion, I believe he does have the right to post his opinion assuming he is being truthful.

I thought posting a copy of his receipt would be easy to do and provide proof that his comments weren't a complete fabrication.

This is similar to the method I use if I am suspicious about a bogus eBay sale; I ask the store where purchased and the Serial Number.

Although unlikely, it is possible he is on the level, especially if the Salesman encouraged him to take advantage of the 14 day Guitar Center return policy.

I'm returning mine and getting back to my roots with the Motif.
I'm skeptical. Please upload your sales receipt (you can block out your name and personal info).

That must have taken you a really long time to learn the Motif. If I recall, the Get Motifated! Volumes 2 and 3 were released about 8 months after the original volume 1.

It's pretty sad when someone needs a video to learn about a keyboard. Perhaps RTFM would have helped!!!

From which specific GC store did you buy your OASYS? Just FYI, only certain select GC stores are authorized to sell the OASYS.
Well, It's a troubling scenario when you can't take the time to read a manual especially when faced with Dyslexia all my life. What may take you only a few minutes to post a message may take me 10 to 15 minutes just so I can proofread my post for any mistakes. Reading...I don't even want to go there. Thank god most templates like this forum provide spell checking as you go.

At the time I purchased the Yamaha Motif I was fortunate that Volumes 1,2 and 3 were released just one month prior to my purchase. Man did it save my life. There was nothing but praise in the Yamaha forums for the DVD's mainly because it went way beyond the manual could ever do. Visual aids are a lifesaver for me and after only a few weeks I was enjoying the fruits of my labor and getting right down to the creative process of making music! :D

It's really just venting that's going on. I am looking forward to the DVD that Mike is putting out. I will help me 10 fold!

Cool. Because of the depth of the OASYS, I wouldn't call this DVD comprehensive, but it is 3 hours long. I'm using 8.5 gig dual layer DVDs, in order to fit it all on one disc. I'm guessing the Yamaha DVDs were about an hour, or so, each?

I figured that to really cover the OASYS, it would take three DVDs, running 6 -9 hours. I plan on making another one that covers Combis and Sequencer in more detail. In case this one tanks, I included some mini demos, so that it touches on most things.

I'm waiting for some feedback, then I'll work on getting these pressed. I may even burn some rough DVD+R copies for those who can't wait any longer, but I would like to get a time estimate from the replicator, first.

Anyway, there is a functioning disc, with very relevant chapter breaks - kind of like a table of contents.

Yeh, I know -OT-,

but since I'm here anyways - just wanted to say I'm also very curious about this compilation, a very nice project! Any idea about pricing yet? And how the order process will take place?

regards,

Brad

$24.95, plus shipping (probably $3). I plan to set up a web page with PayPal. I also have a P.O. address for money orders.
