Go to the Next Level with Yamaha MOTIF ES Music Production Workstation
BUENA PARK, CA (June 25, 2004) The Yamaha Motif has revolutionized the very concept of music synthesis. With the Motif ES Music Production Workstations, Yamaha takes the creative process to the "next level" for professional musicians.
 More than a Motif |
Like the original Motif, the new entries combine the sonic power of a synthesizer, the hands-on immediacy of a digital workstation, the revolutionary concept of an Integrated Sampling Sequencer (ISS) for total integration of audio and MIDI, and a user interface that puts power at the user's fingertips.
The 61-key Motif ES 6, 76-key Motif ES 7 and 88-key Motif ES 8 feature the largest and most musical Wave ROM ever provided in a workstation keyboard (175 MB in 16 bit linear format). At the heart of the ES series is an advanced new tone generator chip that includes a generous 128 notes of polyphony, new filter algorithms and massive DSP power (16 three-band EQ, eight Insert effects, two system effects and two master effects in Song and Pattern Mode).
The Motif ES is loaded with a superb sample set. Yamaha's MegaVoice technology reproduces stunningly realistic sounds, complete with physical characteristics, timbres and nuances of sampled acoustic and amplified instruments. Additional sound features include Phrase Factory, with 1700 arpeggios and real time loop remix, making it easier than ever to create great tracks. With the advanced Integrated Sampling sequencer (ISS), users can even add audio tracks into their songs.
Improved hands-on control functions include larger knobs, sliders, transport controls, and a new ribbon controller. Templates are included for using the Motif ES as a remote control surface for the industry's most popular software sequencers.
Other features include support for 512 MB of DIMM Sample RAM, USB storage hosting and second generation mLAN computer connectivity for future expandability. The mLAN16E option will allow the Motif ES to easily integrate with mLAN devices such as the Yamaha 01X.
All three models are currently available, and supercede the Motif 7 and Motif 8 Music Production Synthesizers; Motif 6 will stay in the line at a reduced price. For owners of the original Motif ES interested in upgrading to the Motif ES, visit www.motifloyalty.com to explore the upgrade program (extended to June 30).
