Playing the Yamaha Motif XS8

[gussie8933]

Personally, I like the Yamaha mm8 a little better than the Motif. Although, the Yamaha mm8 has the same engine as the Motif. Another thing is, to me, the Yamaha mm8 has a more realistic piano sound, but maybe that's just me, idk. But please dont get me wrong, the Motif still might be one of the best keyboards.

Motfi always sound great, make any other piano on other workstations sound like blah :)

I found a store that's selling one for 2,500. Awesome deal. In fact, best deal I can find anywhere. If I were you I'd save up and try to find one at a local music store.

Good luck finding a good deal too. =P

hey did you connect your keyboard to a computer? I bought mine used and it just came with the keyboard (no software, etc).

[JohnF30Music]

why would it have software????

It's a workstation, why would you need software lol
