I have a question, what's the difference between xs6 and xs7 or xs8 besides more keys...I mean cand you do something with the xs8 that you cant do with the xs6?
@PlayaIonel no, they're all the same as far as I know, except for the keys, but I'd check with Yamaha to be sure as I've not owned either of them. I have the old Motif 6 classic.
@PlayaIonel all the same fuctions apart from the keys , ive owned an ES for 3 yrs,and ive just traded it in for the XS6 , these boards are amazing , i will say it took me a few hours to get familiar with it , but now im used to it its out of this world
I've owned one of these for over two years. It constantly both frustrates and delights. Learning the motif is like learning a new language. But the sounds are simply superb and the power and flexibility are deep . Just starting to get with the DAW connectivity. Wish it had better integration with pt but I'm getting better with cubase. When I bought it I played everything available and chose it for its ability to work in almost any genre. Even today I have zero regrets . Best in class
1 problem my motif will not setup in cubase under studio connections i have downloaded everything and it doesn't show up, any advice. I wanna use mlan??
is yamaha ever going to make THE DEFINATIVE piano sound...? theyre always making more and more piano samples... when will it actually PLEASE EVERYONE.???
Next year they will put the AVANTI samples? Why didnt they make the new S90xs with XPAND your world capability? or just put them in.
But the s90xs has all the motif xs tecnology isn't it?! all the sounds.. if I'm not mistaken it only don't sample and don't have the vocoder even having a mic port. Plz correct me if I'm wrong cause I have a motif xs but am thinking of buying a graded hammer 90 xs
Does anyone know if the Motif XS has the awesome super articulation! 2 sounds from the Tyros 3? I want to get either of those but what'll decide it for me is the sound of the instruments particularly the acoustic ones..
I have both. The M3 offers a nice variety of sounds plus more options for inspiration with KARMA and drum tracks. The Motif XS sounds great as well, but the user interface and file system aren't as easy to use as the M3.
Sound-wise, probably the Tyros III, but the way you get around on the Tyros III is very different than the Motif XS OS/interface. Plus the Tyros III is only available as a 61-note keyboard. if you'd lioke a Tyros III w/88 weighted keys, you;d need to consider something like a Yamaha clavinova (I think).
Since to give him my own samples be reread? I have a motif xs6 and am totally disappointed by this

To me that "Scat Choir" sounds the same as the PSR9000/Tyros/Tyros2/Tyros3 "Live! Vocal" choir. So I dunno what's new about that.
After watching and reading a lot of informative videos and articles, I still can't decide which is better. Motif XS or Fantom G. *sigh*
