The expander includes the Motif version caractéritiques keyboard with sampling and less. It's a shame, I would have screwed over a few samples as can be done on a Triton Rack or XV-5080.

The Motif ES Rack can accommodate two cards PLG, it's cool.

There are 1870 arpeggios ... and can even schedule ... pff is too much.

I do not like the external power supply.

UTILIZATION

Is not to say, Yamaha will master the interface of scientific calculator and there is no reason that they lost their supremacy in the area since the DX-7.
Are still icons of "notes" to remind us that this is a musical instrument.

Frankly, I not take the head with:
+ - + - Or wheel ... Category right arrow, left arrow.

on the other hand, to remove an effect, it's a bit more complicated, attention:
Shift + By Pass, then indeed, with the up and down using the scroll wheel.

But excited for the mouse, know that the pattern is connected to a computer via a USB cable, so everything is controlled through a graphical interface.

SOUNDS

Okay, so first thing we do, we remove the effects and listen.

We conducted several sounds: acoustic keyboards, electric organs, guitars, violins, flutes. Everything is at least correct, the sounds tend to have the entire trunk area keyboard. It is clear that the sample memory is more important.

Once the effects back in place, we realize that it plays a lot on the final rendering without too much exaggeration.
Yamaha has spawned a dynamic, a clarity (Roland specialty) and a major presence (Korg specialty) is surprising. For brevity, we are crazy on the chin and use it.
No sound gadgets galore as the Triton, or weakness on the dynamics as Roland.

To enjoy the dynamic sound, it is important not to play on a low-end keyboard (like Triton Le 61 keys).
I used my S80-key hammer for this, the expressivity is excellent.

A small flat on his violin that tears at the first listen but we feel the closure of some note.
I have not found my favorite sound of the Brass S80, damage.

OVERALL OPINION

Coupled with a full keyboard, like S80, it takes a lot of fun playing on the Motif ES Rack which the dynamics and precision of the bluff.

That's all stupid, but when I taps with the S80, I found a similar happy with my Oberheim OB-Xa or my VP-330.
It's weird because this module is only imitating the sounds, but it does pretty well.
