Hi,
I'm posting this for Bryan Smart:

VL makes nice sounds, but you have to have dedicated circuitry for each
voice. The VL board, for example, plays only a single note of a single
instrument. It is still a superior sounding process to sample playback, 
but, with 8 sample playback elements instead of the 4 elements that have pretty 
much been the standard for the last 15 years or so on these synths,
brass/guitar/string instruments should sound much truer than was possible on
the earlier Motifs. Plus, since the new voices will be using the standard
sample+synthesis engine, you'll be able to use more than one instrument at a
time, and play more than one note from each instrument. Having 8 playback
elements is really something in terms of programming possibilities.

The Motif ES could use 1GB of sample RAM, but, with USB 1.0, it took over 30
minutes to load or save your sample memory. That is why 1GB of memory was
not suggested for ES. Load/save operations will be many times faster than
that with USB2.

I heard that when Yamaha brought out the Tyros 2, they planned on
discontinuing the plg boards option in any keyboards they would release =
from
then on. That kind of sucks because, especially with the vl plg board, t=
hose
had some really nice sounds. Also, the new xs can hold 1 gig of sampling=

memory, but can't the es unofficially do that already?
