New Yamaha Motif

[Khazul]

The kind of beastie that looks interesting if you use alot of stock rompler type sounds as well as synths. Would probably suit me well - have two romplers allready (Fusion 8HD and Motif ES rack) and do occasionally like to have a decent sounding piano.

It doesnt exactly make me feel any great urge to flog those two in favour of a new XS8 though (yes - i would need the 8 for the weighted keys to replace the HD8 for piano stuff)... Im sure it sounds better, but TBH - the two I have give me the kind of sound and function cover I need at this time and cost less than an ES8 between them.

For most of us lot - I cant see many of us being rompler fans beyond the usefulness of having stock sounds available that are not tied to a computer - and a module cover that nicely.

Actually I would probably be more in favour of an S90XS (ie an updated S90ES) than a XS8 as dont really use hardware workstation type functions, just the sounds and like a decent weighted hammer-like action sometimes.
