Nick G Senior Member Registered: 11/16/05 Posts: 1115 Loc: Sydney, NSW, Australia	oooo weeeeee this thing sounds unbelievable!!!! Its been 5 hours since i purchased my motif and i cannot simply stop playing it!! (until now lol) i am slowly getting used to everything and how the os works and navigates. its really not that hard at all... different! i cant get over how much better everything sounds than the Tyros 2. its miles ahead! with each arp, u have 5 variations and u switch and select them in real time just like style variations on the Tyros. u can make some shorter just for the purpose of being a fill in. so really u can use it as an arranger in that way. it pretty much has all the styles of music that any arranger has except for the entertainer / movie / organ type stuff.. its very strong with Dance / hip hop / latin / world / rock / pop / jazz / country... the midi file editing / sequencing is amazing , it basically gives u the same layout u have in cakewalk / cubase!!!! must go now - much more to be explored!

Nick Congrats on your new board. Let us know how the auto accompaniment feature works on the Motif xs as compared to the Tyros 2 and whether you can accomplish the same goal but just in a slightly different way. _________________________ TTG

hellboy44 Member Registered: 11/04/03 Posts: 541 Loc: Australia	Ditto! Well done. Let us know though (honestly - please) about any polyphony or stuttering problems. Take it to the limit! (and let us know what those limits are pleeease...) All the best! _________________________ God I hate signatures. BUT... www.chi-chi.com.au

hellboy44 Member Registered: 11/04/03 Posts: 541 Loc: Australia	Thanks - great Tube Vid. That guy is funny - and a great player! I forgot this board has no touch screen. That's (most likely) a dealbreaker for me... (Just the way I work) _________________________ God I hate signatures. BUT... www.chi-chi.com.au
