For CHARACTERISTICS gnrales, visit Yamaha.

One word caractrise the MOTIF XS: fMeasure. An advantage, but also a inconvnient, especially if you beginners. Prfrez you hands on a monoplane plutt an airliner if you just get your pilot's license. Everything is ditable, in every sense. A multitude of sounds, effects, paramtres of publishing. A machine directs started, then.

I dcroch from my well-aim JV1080, as party to the acoustic piano, and synth returning ct I got a nice little slap. The BTE is intgre configuration computer music with my PC firewire connection on CUBASE STUDIO 4. Steering CUBASE in REMOTE mode since the XS8. Steering from the software XS8 MOTIF XS Editor. I have some ram on installing DIFFERENT drivers, but it works. And under Vista, please.

UTILIZATION

Everything is ditable in all directions. The color display context menus Submitted trs clear, rich trs.

The manual is complete particulirement.

SOUNDS

Sounds ... Hardly explored ways VOICE (sound unit) and PERFORM (sounds associated with arpge, rhythm ...): This is the DLIR. A tiny BMOL on acoustic piano, good in the treble, with a lack of ism on the center of the keyboard.

The performances are extremely elaborate in a range of style fMeasure. However, because of the multitude of programming to choose bte, rhythm, sound, the reason for arpge, the split point (sparation right / left), does not play in the crowd, as you might do on machines less labores.

Ism of the guitars, the 64 sets of batteries diffrent the effects spciaux who do not agree, but ... live! And so on. The expression is at the top, the machine of dployant stratges it to improve the jouabilit the lgatos, sounds to relchement ... The keyboard could be described as a little soft, but the business got it.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month. It is a well-finished instrument trs. The buttons, knobs, faders, pan, everything is in good order. And just imagine that below is a wooden board. Note, however, it is particulirement cumbersome. It's a big baby.

Before you choose, I test a RD700SX. Then I fell in love with the MOTIF ES store. Two months have passed and it's eyes closed I opt for the XS8, with its large flash ERRF.

Ct qualitprix compared to less than 3000E, I Whereas I have everything, from piano can be a practitioner. So without hsiter, the same choice again.
