The motif Xf is and will remain a very interesting keyboard, because you can expand it with quality libraries. Of course, no one HAS to, but in fact it is nice to load new sounds.

Thank you, but I don´t understand why. If I´m not mistaken, there are 256 mixing voices (?) for example. Why wouldn´t it be possible to expand that to say 512?

I don’t know about any new synth/workstation being announced, but you can download RAM here. |

Thanks. Just to clarify my request: I was not asking about flash RAM, but “user locations” to store the patches. |

Well, ‘User Locations’ = ‘Memory Locations’, simple as that. Whether it’s RAM or flash RAM, it needs to be stored somewhere in hardware, as Dave pointed out. I was able to download more RAM to my PC from that website, but transferring it to the Motif via USB isn’t working at all. |

There is a buzz about something new, big, and exciting coming from YAMAHA this Winter NAMM ! So… The wait goes on. I have high-expectations, since I tend to be optimistic, and trust YAMAHA to deliver great products ;-) I’m hoping for the next workstation after the Motif Line, and possibly a new Synth as well. We shall know in a few weeks. 2013 Is going to be an exciting year. (fingers-crossed)
Cheers,

Hi, Well… Winter NAMM 2013 Begins Tomorrow (Jan. 24th) ! Are you excited to see new YAMAHA products this year ? What will YAMAHA have for us this year ? My wish would be to see YAMAHA release : 1. Next Generation Motif , or a totally New Workstation 2. A new Synth that offers multiple Synthesis options, including FM, Vector, Additive/Subtractive, ...etc. 3. Analog or Virtual Analog Synth We shall know what they have been hiding from us tomorrow at NAMM ;-)
Cheers,

Yamaha is releasing a new app for the Apple iPad this Winter NAMM 2013: Yamaha’s new Mobile Music Sequencer enables composers to combine a range of phrase patterns and create musical compositions intuitively, following the flow of composition, from phrases to sections and from sections to songs. Wherever you are, you can now sketch the outline of a composition. In addition, you can use the ingredients to delicately craft songs on a Yamaha synthesizer, or in Steinberg Cubase. Advantages • Built-in software synth with 92 high-quality sounds (including 9 types of drumkit) enables faithful rendering of sequence patterns. • Sound editing using filters, EG, and other effects • Mixer function for each part • Effects including reverb, chorus, and variations
• Additional phrases and sounds
• File export
• Mix-down
• Compatibility with SoundCloud
EDIT: I’m just wondering what keyboard they’re showing in the app’s icon! Image Attachments
