The new Yamaha Motif XF synthesizers - Motif XF8, XF7, and XF6 - are the fourth generation of Yamaha Motif synths. They are the latest in a long line of digital keyboards from Yamaha that began with the innovative DX7 in 1983.
This new generation of Yamaha Motif synthesizer workstations includes flash expandability and seamless music production workflow. Up to 2GB of additional content is available through flash memory expansion modules, and the integration between the MOTIF XF and Steinberg’s Cubase 5 series is truly seamless.
Using the Yamaha MOTIF XF Editor, you can make subtle Voice edits from your computer while checking them visually. Because the communication between the MOTIF XF and the editor is bi-directional - whether you’re moving the knobs on the MOTIF or changing parameters with the mouse in the editor - the parameters are perfectly matched. There is even a VST3 editor for use in Cubase 5 (including AI) which lets you use your MOTIF as a VST soft synth.
Important features of the new MOTIF XF include:
* Comprehensive high sound quality, including an enormous 741MB of waveforms
* An additional 128 Voices and 8 drum kits, for a total of 1,353 high-quality Voices
* Up to 2GB of additional content available through separately sold flash memory
* Realization of unique instrument performance methods through the XA (Expanded Articulation) tone generation system
* Reproduction of the unique, natural, warm sounds of vintage instruments through VCM effects
* 384 types of performances based on approximately 7800 types of arpeggiators
* Enhanced sampling through 128MB of onboard SD-RAM
* The popular FSX (MOTIF XF6/7) and BH (MOTIF XF8) keyboards
* Improvement of usability thanks to the use of a new GUI
* Category Search feature that provides instant access to the Voices you want
* Cubase AI -- a DAW software application from Steinberg
* DAW integration through remote control, an editor software
* Scalability through standard-equipped USB and Ethernet and the FW16E option
