The MX models do offer a lot, and I’m glad you’re happy with your MX49. However, the Motifs aren’t as limited as you’ve suggested. For example, the XS and XF models can layer up to 16 Parts in the multitimbral modes (Song and Pattern). In addition, they can have dual Insertion Effects applied in up to eight Parts (16 total maximum), while the MX is limited to four Insertion Effects applicable in four Parts (4 total maximum). Of course, the Motif models cost a bit more. Â :-) |

In terms of “Motif parlance” the MX doesn’t actually have “Performance Mode.” What the MX calls Performance Mode is almost exactly the same as the Motif “Mix” mode.. sets of 16 sounds where you can switch seamlessly from one to another. So this facility was there all along in those other models, it just wasn’t so obvious, in part because the Yamaha manuals tie that mode to songs and patterns which are things that often don’t interest people who buy for live performance. But as you and Yamaha have discovered, that can actually be a better “performance” mode than Performance mode was! The idea is explained at http://www.motifator.com/index.php/support/view/using_a_mixing_program_to_organize_your_live_setup
and the counter benefits of traditional Performance mode are discussed at
