i just wanted to post a word of thanks. i recently purchased a used es6 and i have been furiously trying to familiarize myself with it. i bought the board primarily to get the modern soundset particularly for brass and strings, the splitting/layering capabilities, and because i have yet to own a proper workstation for longer than a few weeks (i tried out a korg m50for a month or two but couldn’t justify the expense for the amount of use it got at the time). i already use a roland rd300gx, nord electro 3, nord lead 2, and a roland jd990. i’ve never owned any yamaha gear so it’s taking some time to get used to. the manual is somewhat confusing and a bit cumbersome especially when trying to use for reference since im not inclined to sit down and try to read it all the way through - obviously i want to get this board integrated into my rig ASAP! but, i haven’t posted any questions because many things i have found answers to in this forum - and for that i just want to say ‘thanks’!

it’s amazing the sorts of communities that take root around a piece of gear or particular instrument (vintagesynth.com is wonderful), and the moderators and individuals who post answers on here have done such a great job - it’s so nice to have people who are willing and seem to really want to share their knowledge and insight. if not for this site, i may have already returned the motif and looked into something else to fill the workstation role i wanted. i’m confident though that with the help of the forum the time and effort i put into learning this instrument will pay off in more ways than i can imagine.

so, thank you!

This forum is also meant to send messages (like you do).
It’s great to ‘hear’ about others’ experiences.

May be we meet in Mo’Songs one time?

;JOOP!
