MOUTON NEWS
JULY, 2008

AS OF MAY 2008, my schedule has changed dramatically. As many of you know, I have taken the President / CEO position with Imago Productions, Inc., a major trade show production and management company (www.imagotradeshows.com). With these new responsibilities, I will no longer have the ability to keep my gig schedule full, and have resigned from my position with theWilson Braswell band. I will still play pick-up gigs from time to time, but for the most part, will only be performing with my Praise & Worship band at First Baptist Church Alpharetta.

First Baptist Church Alpharetta Contemporary Praise & Worship!  I started with FBCA in January 2004. Since then, we have witnessed the church evolve into an amazing place of worship.  The band continues to get stronger with Brad Williams on bass and Brad Large on Guitar.  I hope you can stop by some time to check out the music and service.  It is truly amazing!  For more info, check out the FBCA website!

NEW Motif XS OS Scheduled for end of June



A major OS upgrade is planned for the Motif XS with significant new features that include:


- Support for using a USB-ASCI keyboard for page navigation and numeric entry.  This works with a hub and a USB memory stick simultaneously.

- Added new parameter of [UTILITY]->[General]->[AutoLoad]->[IEEE1394Driver] which will be used to support the new Yamaha/Steinberg FireWire driver in the future. When Steinberg hardware and this new driver is available, you will be able to stack three FireWire devices, for example a Motif XS8, Motif-RACK XS and MR816CS in one system.

- In SONG mode or PATTERN mode, even if you change track or part, MOTIF XS does not cutoff notes, so you can seamlessly switch between 16 Voices or 4 Performances.

- In the Record Setup window in SONG mode, when you set Record Type to "punch," location points 1 and 2 can be copied to Punch In and Punch Out with a new Copy Loc parameter.

- The user name to log into the network computer can be saved on MOTIF XS as a parameter so you can setup an Ethernet connection to your computer once and log in automatically after that.

-Default setting of MIDI sync was changed from "Internal" to "Auto."

ON THAT NOTE... 

I want to write THANK YOU to Mike Lamb for his amazing support and service to help me get started with Yamaha.  Mike - YOU ROCK!!!!  Also a HUGE thank you to Cole Eunson... THANKS DUDE!!!!! Though I have played Drum Workshop for the past 14 years, the drums Yamaha are producing are simply the best in the industry. It is for this reason artists such as Keith Carlock, David Garibaldi, Tom Knight, Dave Weckl, Carter Beauford, Steve Gadd, Sonny Emory and more have all joined the Yamaha family.  The artists on the Yamaha roster play Yamaha drums because of the quality and craftsmanship of the products.  The drummers with Yamaha are a family, and I can't tell you how much it means to be welcomed to the family personally by Keith Carlock himself.  To the Yamaha family, THANK YOU! I am proud to be a part of the team! Come out to a show and we can talk drums - Yamaha drums!!!! No matter what your level, they have a kit for you, and you will love it!

Thanks for reading, and see ya' at the gigs –

MOUTON
