No problem. I thought allot of people knew about all these units, but I've
recently come across quite a few people who had no idea that the motifs are
so powerful, and that we can use them, so I figured I'd post the info just
in case someone else didn't know.
Allot of people hear the term workstation and think inaccessible right away.
While that might usually be the case, it is not the whole story when it
comes to the motif line.

Thanks for the info. It may prove to be the ticket for me at some point.
Right now it's a pipe dream; I'm very thankful for the stuff I have -
particularly the Sonar stuff. It's nice to have a good education as to
what's out there that can be used effectively for live playing.

Mike, the motif 8 (first gen), motif es8 (2nd gen), motif xs8 (third gen)
and motif xf8 (4th gen) are all 88 key keyboards. The 7's are 76 keys, and
the 6's are 61 keys.
They each get better with each new generation, the xf being the top of the
line right now, with flash memory expandibility, so you don't have to reload
samples/sounds every time you power up the keyboard, virtual modeled Yamaha
effects, pattern sequencer and regular sequencer, performances (almost like
styles), master setups for live gigs, and a plethora of sounds! They also
have integrated sampling capabilities, you can edit just about anything on
the entire workstation, either through the keyboard panel/controls or with
John melas's accessible editors, use it in studio or live. They are awesome
instruments, and best of all, very accessible and easy to use.
