UTILIZATION

After selling my design ES 8, I opted for the XF 6 I couple on stage with a north stage 2.
Operation is simple for all owners of patterns of previous generations, the color display, readable and clear greatly facilitates the hack.
Frankly, it's very intuitive!
We have everything at hand in seconds, easy to program performance for the stage, to make a pattern ... etc.
I have not used the sampling mode.
The keyboard is very good and responds perfectly.

SOUNDS

The sounds are very very good! most excellent ... I think there is frankly no better in terms of choice and overall quality, there's nothing to throw away. Except maybe the sound of harmonica ..
The pianos are hyper realistic, fantastic guitars (much improved compared to the ES), tablecloths, violins, synthesizers of hell! It sounds everywhere! What about low batteries and honestly ... it's highest level. Even the brass ring! It's been a week since I have the beast, and I already won.
Some pre-programmed performance are terrible, something for all tastes, honestly you can do anything with this machine!

OVERALL OPINION

I do not regret my choice, of course it's easier for me who knows the system a bit pattern having possessed the ES, but Yamaha has made great efforts in terms of use.
I have not tried the Cronos, I wanted to stay with Yamaha. What I like most about this synth sounds are of course but also versatile, all styles of music are well represented, you can do anything!

€ 2,500 it's necessarily cheap, but in terms of device features, there is nothing to say.
However, it is intended for regular use in the studio or on stage, if we want to return the beast.
I do it again this election easily.
