It is a 5 octave synth with everything you need for a Controller worthy of the name, 2 knobs, ribbon, sustain, foot switch, audio inputs, 4 outputs spares, 8 multi-effects Fully ditables all.
768 presets all styles, possibility to have up to four instruments at the same time, all types of layers and splits possible.
Polyphony 128 voices, extremely useful when stacking sounds because I also have a voice MO8 and 64 of the latter are quickly reached if you play Manir rich performance with a sequence of battery 3 other sounds of keyboards and bass stacked.
UTILIZATION
The config is not comfortable if you do not know the logic Yamaha.
Everything is Fully ditable, so everything is possible.
An important dtail: The memory is volatile so it must have a compatible USB key (or a former MODELS smartmedia find that difficult) to store its songs (no vocals and performances, they are stock es on dedicates ROM)
A BMOL squenceur me on the possible problem (skipping second quarter of each new loop of a same song) on an instrument loaded with 11 tracks + 3 plug-in card INSRE (PLG150AP, DR and PC) playing at the same time. So, one must rebalance on a DAW like Cubase.
The manual is quite Drout, there are some quick start, then another who wants to explain the operating principle of the Motif ES, steep enough to departure. Not everything Retailer and you learn as and find the info you seek.
SOUNDS
And is the main strength: its sounds and capabilities of publishing. It was quite good presets, but at the same time, it is not limited to the contrary.
The presets are good, but balance and ruffed a little way back in, it can be seen the standard sound quality filters, quas, compressors etc ...
I usually make instrumentals for singers like playback and clients are impressed with the expressiveness of the instruments ism. Ms. guitarists are having thanks to MegaVoice!
Incidentally, the cards 150pcs Plugin (percussion) and 150DR (drums) are standard,, ds presets on the other hand, the cymbal sustains no end of kicks that make you sound good on the bottom of Headquarters, slamming snares, it becomes difficult to mix the same shot with all the harmonics in every sense.
My prfres sounds: pianos, Hammond organs, violins rear plan, drums, guitars ... I do not dtest but I spend less time on the rest, I still find my account leaves a little to change the sounds.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 4 years and live in the studio and I'm still not all the end of the BTE. What I like most: sound.
Minimum: ergonomics, dpart anyway.
INTERESTED report quality price since you can do it all.
I would do without this choice hsiter prfrerais and I even have a Motif ES 8 Used plutt 1200-1300 saw the possibilities of buying the XS 3000 is in nine.
