Do you realise how many units must be sold to balance with the development costs? And I’m afraid that you are the only one interested. ;JOOP! |

He is not the only one interested ! If Yamaha makes an MM7 i will buy it but if only there are these things that are missing from the MM6.I mean MM6 should have deep voice editing capabilities and only Motif sounds,not Psr sounds.

Yes,the sounds of MM6 are not that good as S90 or other Motif boards,but look at the price difference.Do not compare different things.If MM6 was a success in sales for Yamaha then an updated version of it would be a success too.If i was Yamaha i would do this. I would put in MM7 these features.
1)76 synth-keys
That’s all.I think that if this was to be made,it would be a succesfull board.Yamaha has the power to do this as long as money is not the only thing they think about because MM6 was a failure in 1 area.To edit sounds like you should be able to do in a synth,even in the low entry level area. |

cwbill, i understand that many people need patterns to play with.Now,tell me your opinion please.What do you think is better.To have 300 patterns inside MM7 and you can not add more but only 1,or to have only 50 and then you can put inside the MM7 50 or 150 of your own patterns?
What i cant understand is this.Yamaha released S03 some years ago.This keyboard is a synth with full sound editing capabilities but with XG sounds only (if i remember right). And then they made MM6 which has Motif sounds,Psr sounds and midi sounds and they dont give you the opportunity to fully edit the Motif sounds in MM6. For me,this is crazy.And S03 is not a serious keyboard,at least if we make a comparison with S90 or ES8 or Motif classic. |

Hi, I have the MM8 and mainly use it for learning piano. You can use Yamaha .sty files with a little editing on the MM6/8. There are free programs such as style remixer and style player available here - http://www.jososoft.dk/yamaha/software.htm You may need to alter the voices with the style file to make it compatible with the voices in the MM. You can even use EMC Styleworks to put an intro onto one of the patterns, although you have to remember to choose another pattern variation to stop the intro looping (and you lose 1 pattern variation). Yes, I know the MM wasn’t designed to be used as a PSR type keyboard, but the patterns built into the unit are very limiting, so this will expand the possibilities a little. Keith |

When it comes to the default Patterns, how about treating yourself to these alternative Pattern Banks...for free!...>> http://www.motifator.com/index.php/support/view/free_mm_6_8_performance_bank Download, and save them to a USB Stick, and transfer them into the MM6/8.
A nice, 64 Pattern, alternative set!
A 76-key Mini-Motif?
The MM6 is an excellent keyboard, sold at low cost, and excellent at what it does, suitable for the masses!
Paul...MM6...MO6...M-Audio Prokeys 88…
P.S....Its always worth remembering that a 76 or 88 key graded-hammer key-bed is really only suitable for “Piano” use.
