Yamaha Corporation of America’s new Motif XS synthesizer workstation includes new Xpanded Articulation sounds featuring 355MB of waveform ROM, as well as a Performance Recording feature, with four intelligent arpeggiators and more than 6,000 phrases. Motif XS also includes an Integrated Sampling Sequencer with up to 1GB of memory for creating complete MIDI/audio productions, and studio-style mixing and VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) effects from Yamaha’s high-end mixing consoles.

connectivity) at an MSRP of $3,999, the XS7 76-note version ($3,539) and the XS6 61-note version ($2,799).
