Lol. Well they sure as hell need to sample drums from another company then. Maybe DW or someone like that. I am not feeling the factory drums now. I kind of thought about that after I wrote it. How they are the only company with a real cp and no one else really does that right. I wonder what brand piano the KSounds one is? Maybe Steinway? Hmmm, anyway...

That is where the piano sounds in the Motif come from. The main Motif XS piano sample is from a Yamaha CF series concert grand.Unfortunately, that is kind of a bright piano for general use, but I supposethat they were aiming this at the classical crowd first. The S90ES piano, the one that has an XS version in the new XSpanded bank Iuploaded is a Yamaha S700 piano. The S700 is sort of a strange piano, since there isn't a real Yamaha S700 piano for sale. The S700 is a piano that wasspecifically designed for sampling. Details are sketchy on this, but supposedly Yamaha built a piano where the piano keys could be mechanically triggered by another device at specific velocity levels. The project supposedly cost Yamaha over $250,000. Supposedly, this is whythe sample switching between velocity levels and key ranges is so smooth onthat piano. I'm not sure how the CF piano was recorded, but they probably had a human player operating keys.The CP70 electric grand is a sample from a Yamaha CP70 piano, but the detail of sampling in the CP70 voices doesn't even approach the level of attentionthat was paid to the acoustic pianos. Still, that's a Yamaha instrument, also. Anyhow, the Motif pianos are all real Yamaha pianos. Most of the other instruments in the Motif come from Yamaha instruments, also. Whether you like the tone of any particular instrument or not is a matter of personal taste. Yamaha is certainly a Unique company in this regard.Korg, Roland, and Kurzweil all built their keyboard voices through a mix ofsampling instruments on their own and licensing recordings from other companies. In most cases, the instrument voices in the Motif are produced from samples made by Yamaha, of instruments that were built by Yamaha. Ithink that is one big reason why the Motif is still king of the workstationkeyboards when it comes to imitating the sound of real instruments.

Those had the drums from thetyros and they were a bit different. And the did come out with some sample banks that weren't all that good at all. I have demos of them to prove it.Damon and I both cringed at them. But I hope the can put something cool out. After all, they do make drum kits for real and why not mic one of their own up and sample it. Guess that's not saying much either, they make pianos andhow many sounds do you hear that say Yamaha studio grand or anything like that.

After all, when is the last time that we got anew acoustic kit for the Motif from Yamaha? I don't think that they've addedany new acoustic kits since the original Motif. There were little touches added in the XS, like the toms having multiple layers, but no new kits. I think that the drums are the area of the Motif that has changed the least since it was originally released.

There will be new multi-sampled acoustic drums, including a new oak kitand new power kit. There aren't many details on the electronic drums that will be included, but we've been told to expect new hip hop kits. The set will also feature new percussion kits, including ethnic percussion.I've recently been working on the final touches of a complete setup package for those of you that are working with either Sonar or QWS as an accessible computer-based sequencer. I know that there is a lot of setup involved when someone first gets a Motif in order to get everything synced up and runningwith the computer, so I'll be posting setup instructions, Sonar and QWSinstrument definitions for the XS, and Motif mix dump request macros so thatyou can save Motif mix changes as part of your Sonar projects. Most importantly, I'll post a new all file that includes all of the new XS instrument and drum voices plus is preconfigured to work in Sonar. You'llneed to install the XS USB or mLAN driver on your computer, and will need toperform some basic setup in Sonar, but, as far as the Motif, you'll justneed to turn it on, load this all file, and you'll be ready to sequence withSonar and all of the new voices from Yamaha.
