I have a motif xs. I'm sorry, but I don't agree with this statement. They ARE somewhat better than Tyros, but they are still close miced without the room ambience or any convolution. My problem with that and maybe it's just me, is that the room sound helps to (for want of a better term) homogenize and marry the drums to the mix. In other words add tremendous punch, impact and a sense of spaciousnous with being overbearing.

Yanaha does have pretty good reverbs. I have a spx 2000 reverb on the console aux 5 and 6 and a AKG on 3 and 4, but I could twist the knobs right off the mixer and I just can't put in what isn't there.

Honestly, I have always thought my little psr 550 from years ago had more realistic drum sounds than my Tyros.
