On the Motif 6, the keyboard does not touch "piano" as the Motif 8, but it is enjoyable trs (it "bounces" property).
In multi-timbral (Song / Pattern), polyphony is a bit tight, especially with the sounds of piano and drums. Yamaha has released the plug-in extension to add sounds and especially polyphony. Also in this mode, it has three global effects: reverb, chorus and variation (the choice), including the amount of effect is adjustable for each track, plus an insert effect that can be applied a track. This limitation is not too much because most teachers sound dj sound good without an insert effect (this is useful for example for a saturated guitar sound.
In storage, it is impractical to have a SmartMedia card to keep rglages (if it is embter, see Opinion n2). TRANSFR to give the (new banks of sounds, samples) between a computer and Motif, you can use a USB cable but trs slow, it is better to have a smartmedia reader, or when a SCSI hard drive. In this connection, to import Akai CD ncessaire it is to have a SCSI CD drive. Squenceur mode (Song / Pattern) can also record samples, such as vocal tracks or guitar.
For the CONTRL software using the buttons on the Motif (volume, pan, start / rec etc..), It is usually feasible, although I have not Russi make it work properly.
UTILIZATION
Storing sounds / songs is not known empty: you have to store each bank entires impractical. Unless an implementation date of the next OS corrects that.
SOUNDS
He might be a synth samples (AWM2) and not modlisation analog (except with a plug-in extension), I love the sound "electronic" and the possibilities s CONTRL-time rel (arpggiateur, potentiomtres, etc.). and piano sounds are good. For some sounds are dcevants cons, such as string instruments with vibrato can not be disables. Fortunately, it is possible to import CD samples (Wav, Akai) for an infinite new sounds.
OVERALL OPINION
In conclusion, a scalable workstation has good features, but suffers a bit from his youth (support Firewire next OS rather incomplete, etc.). NCESS and Facilities to purchase extra foodstuffs (and USB cable, old style RAM) trs sometimes not so common ones (eg SCSI hardware.). Fortunately, many updates are proposed and there is a forum frquent trs site developed by Yamaha https://www.motifator.com
