Yamaha launched two DIMMs into the Yamaha Motif XF device. The MOTIF was succeeded by the MOTIF ES which has doubled the enormous power of the MOTIF.

The tone generator that the MOTIF XF has inherited from the MOTIFXS makes an 8-element-per-voice structure possible. For some reason a lot of them sound overly or even artificially bright to me, as if someone REALLY messed with the EQ or slapped on some odd multiband compressor on them.The MOTIF XS6 is a powerhouse 61-key synth workstation from Yamaha. I quite like the acoustic sounds on the Montage but there's something about them that doesn't sit right with me. I also noticed that Montage6 prices are coming down to about 1800 bucks and it's honestly really tempting. I found a PSR-S900 Kontakt library that's honestly not that bad so I might convert some of that to the Motif format once I get it.

Apparently they recycle a lot of sounds throughout their libraries and that really sucks. I tried the norCtrack libraries and they're abysmal. Shouldn't be too jarring to play since the FS/FSX actions are basically the same. Extra octave would've been useful but I can hopefully repurpose my M1 to add a few more octaves. All the XF7s on sale right now look like they've been barely cared for and I don't want to risk it.

Update: I'm getting a white, barely used XF6 with a (sealed) Anniversary Pack and a carrying bag for 1400€ on the 27th assuming the guy can come to my region. Maybe I'll get that Tyros 2 in the distant future (for shits and giggles just like I got my Korg M1) but I guess I can try the norCtrack Tyros 2 library for Kontakt (sigh) first and maybe convert some of the instruments to the XF format. I've also heard that mixing sounds from the Tyros range with anything external can be a pain in the ass since they're specifically made to "cut through" themselves and have difficulty sitting in a mix. I could save up for another half year or so for a Tyros 5 (and believe me, I love how the Tyros 5 sounds as well) but I doubt that it'd be worth the money since I wouldn't use 90% of its features. Tyros 5 goes for 2000 to 2400, mostly ~2200 for a complete one with speakers and the memory upgrades Yamaha bundled in during the last production years. The Motif XF6 costs 1200€ on the used market but I'd like to try to get a white XF7 (upgraded with the anniversary pack) since I'll probably regret not having an extra octave at some point. I love the Tyros 2 but it's probably not a very wise investment considering the limited expandability so I'll have to wait until they go down in price a bit more. The LCD screen on Motif's is small, much smaller than say a Roland or Korg equivalent in arrangement workstation keyboards.

I loved the sounds on it plus all the extra features. I can tell you right now I loved my Motif 6. Which is an absolute Bitchin' move on Yammy's part. Oh they are also still in service by Yamaha last time I checked, yes even the original Motif 6 so you can still get new parts & get fixes on them last time I remember. I know I haven't really helped you decide on anything more than just giving you a heads up on some things. But I liked the keys on it & loved working on it until 1 keybed stopped working over a decade later. Having said all that, it's going to still feel like a gigantic inconvenience going from arranging & working in your sampler VS a hardware keyboard of that caliber because it will inevitably take you longer to do things than a computer. One you get around the menu diving, it's just like muscle memory, you will just seamlessly remember what your hands should be doing on it quickly to a point where that small LCD screen is really all you need. The LCD screen on Motif's is small, much smaller than say a Roland or Korg equivalent in arrangement workstation keyboards.īut that's the only place imo where it lags behind & is harder to understand. I loved the sounds on it plus all the extra features on it to death.

I can tell you right now I loved my Motif 6, so I can imagine every Motif after that was even more kickass than the last.

I've never had a Tyros or a Yamaha Motif XF but I've had a Motif 6 (original) & I use software samplers.
