It's easy to play fast passages, including glissandos and trills. The FSX keyboard uses a newly developed mechanism to provide a smooth touch that is both comfortable to play and responsive to your touch. The Motif XF8 uses a BH (balanced hammer) keyboard with 88 keys. The MOTIF XF8 and XF7 use high-quality FSX keyboards with 61 and 76 keys, respectively. High-quality keyboards that enable high-level performance The Motif XF also includes the award-winning "REV-X" reverb, the same professionally renowned reverb found in the SPX2000. By connecting a microphone to the Motif's A/D input terminal, you can apply effects to your voice or use your own voice to create harmonies. Also, the Motif XF is equipped with vocoder effects. With the Motif XF, the high-quality effects found in Yamaha's industry standard digital recording consoles are at your fingertips. This has enabled Yamaha to increase the Motif's instrument quality by modeling the "texture" of vintage analog compressors, EQs and stomp boxes right down to the component transistors and resistors. Yamaha's proprietary VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) technology simulates the effects of vintage EQs, compressors, and phasers at the circuit level. VCM effects that reproduce the unique, natural, warm sounds of vintage instruments Using half damper pedaling with the damper resonance effect, you can achieve an even more realistic and richer piano sound that simulates the sound board of a grand piano and responds naturally to sophisticated piano pedaling techniques.
#YAMAHA 1GB FLASH BOARD FOR MOTIF XF AND TYROS4 GENERATOR#
The tone generator also supports half damper pedaling through the use of the separately sold FC3 foot pedal. For synthesizer sounds, the 18 different filter types, advanced 6-stage pitch, filter and amplitude envelopes, unique Wave Cycle feature and assignable modulation Control Sets make the Motif capable of reproducing any synth sound from vintage to modern. The AF1 and AF2 buttons on the front panel make it easy to control Voices with multiple articulations. For example, you can re-create the natural legato of wind instruments, the key release noises of pianos and other instruments, guitar slides and harmonics, and the many different articulations for string instruments (spicato, tremolo and pizzicato, etc.).
Combined with Yamaha's XA (Expanded Articulation), this 8-element structure allows you to achieve stunningly accurate acoustic instruments including expressive articulations that up until now have been difficult to re-create in electronic instruments. The tone generator that the Motif XF has inherited from the MotifXS makes an 8-element-per-voice structure possible. Sound engine that increases the expressiveness of instrument sounds Imagine the power of a fully customized Motif XS with 3 GB of sounds (internal, RAM and Flash) instantly available at your fingertips. Wherever you get the samples, you can now "roll your own" customized 2GB sample library. The samples could be some of the new Motif Voice libraries or they could be your own samples–the back ground vocals from your latest album that you need to take on the road, your favorite VST sound that you've converted to Motif format or even that coffee pot in your kitchen that you know will make a great snare sound. Because this is re-writable flash memory, once you've loaded a sample, it' s always in your Motif until you decide to replace it with something else. With two 1GB boards installed, you have a total of 2GB of flash memory available to you. Two flashboard slots accommodate two proprietary Yamaha flashboard options–a 512MB board and 1GB board. Up to 2GB of additional content available through flash memory expansion modules This huge internal wave memory ensures that the Motif XF is the best sounding and most versatile keyboard workstation right out of the box. Starting with the S6 piano, the 136 newly added Voices include keyboard sounds such as those of clavinets and organs as well as a wide range of new sounds from orchestral to hip-hop. New waveforms have been added to the Motif XF, which now contains a huge total of 741 MB of waveforms. The reproduction in minute detail of even very subtle nuances results in exquisitely crafted piano Voices that will satisfy even the most demanding players. Of special note are the detailed digital re-creations of two Yamaha grand pianos (a 9' CFIII and a 7' S6) that only an acoustic piano manufacturer could achieve.
