Hi. I have bought new yamaha MM8 but i am really upset about the piano sound. Such a new machine and still can not compare to old yamaha P80. now i am trying to sell it and buy MO8, but it is not that easy. it could be better if there would be possibility to put somehow a new sound into MM8 (especially some nice grand piano) for example via usb. thanks for reply.

Re: MM8 piano sounds

Ozon, unfortunately there is no way to add new piano voices to mm8.
I hate the stock pianos in my motif es, but thanks to the sampling capability, the s700 piano samples now rock my world!

Ozon,

That’s what happens when you buy technology from 2001 stuffed into a body from 2008. Yamaha is duping alot of people with the MM6/8 series, and forcing their hands into purchasing a MO6/8 just like you are doing.

Well, the thing is called “segmentation” in marketing terminology…

Re: MM8 piano sounds

No...it’s called “profit margin”.

Re: MM8 piano sounds

Well, either way, the term translates to this: “ You get what you pay for “
I don’t want to start a debate here, since the marketing guys at Yamaha had already worked on this.
My suggestion is to think what you instrument can do, and how to enhance it.
I have been a motif es owner for 2 years, and believe me, I hate the crappy screen, lifeless pianos and the lack of internal memory, etc. The things started to get better once I realized that I should stop bitching on the internet and start investing my time on improving the workflow. Now I am much more happier

“ You get what you pay for “
