BUENA PARK, Calif.—Yamaha Corporation of America celebrates ten years of the Motif by offering its Free 10th Anniversary Motif Pack, featuring over $800 worth of hardware and software available for free to anyone who buys a Motif XF, the latest version of the world's best-selling synthesizer keyboard.

The 10th Anniversary Motif pack includes a 512MB flash board (FL512M) for uploading customized sounds and expanding the keyboard's memory. It also comes with the Chick Corea Mark V Electric Piano Sample Library, a painstaking sampling of the sounds created on Chick's vintage keyboard. The bundle also includes a YC-B3 Organ Tome Wheel Emulation VST, a Steinberg Prologue Analog Synthesizer VST and GEN16 Z-Pack Zildjian Cymbal VST with FXpansion Yamaha Maple Custom Drum Kit. It also includes Keyfax New Media “Drums and Percussion” Patterns, an XF Fully Loaded Instructional Video, discount coupons for KARMA Motif, XF Tools and more.

From its inception in 2001, the Motif has been the top-selling music workstation on the market. That same year, Yamaha established the www.motifator.com site, a vibrant, interactive online community where musicians, sound programmers, software developers and product support specialists exchange ideas and suggestions. The site also delivers prompt support services and provides downloads that help enhance and expand the Motif's capabilities. After listening to all the suggestions made to improve the Motif over the years, Yamaha incorporated the best ones to make the Motif XF the most powerful and easy-to-use workstation yet.

Yamaha's next-generation Motif XF keyboard workstation sounds more expressive than ever, with enhanced features to transform any musical idea into reality. It also offers up to 2GB of Flash memory expansion, a capability that changes the landscape for keyboard workstations. The fully customizable Motif XF gives producers and performers complete control over their sound and is designed to reflect each user's unique approach to music creation.
