Motif ES6
The all new MOTIF "Expanded System" Music Production Synthesizers
completely redesigned from the inside out to be the most powerful MOTIFs
yet. Not only do the new MOTIF ES Music Production Synthesizers feature the
largest wave ROM of any workstation keyboard available (175 MB in 16-bit linear
format), but that Extensive Sonic library is at the heart of the most
expressive, most musical synthesis system on the planet, bar none.
Amazing FX system
If youve ever felt limited by the Effect Systems in other keyboards,
be prepared for total liberation: system effects include 20 reverb types and 49
chorus/delay types, while each Voice can have two large blocks of 116 insertion
effect types. In the song or pattern modes, up to Eight Separate parts can have
their voice insertion Effects Simultaneously. Theres also independent
three-band part EQ Settings for each of the 16 parts in Mix, eight types of
mastering effects including multi band compression, and a five-band master EQ
to complete your productions right to the final mastering stage. New reverbs,
vintage phasers, flangers and wah-wahs ensure that you get the highest quality
effects that are available in Yamahas vast arsenal of DSP algorithms.
Powerful sampling and sequencing features
The Integrated Sampling Sequencer in the ES provides the seamless
integration of MIDI and audio sample sequencing places the MOTIF ES
synthesizers right on the leading edge of music production. Of course you can
BPM-sync playback of MIDI and sample loops, and our Time Slice function lets
you handle samples with the same freedom as MIDI sequence data without altering
pitch or losing audio quality. A maximum sample RAM (DIMM) capacity of 512 MB
places the MOTIF ES sampler section in the same league as some of the most
advanced stand-alone samplers available. The ES comes with a bundled CD-ROM
with over 170 MB of sample voices including the S90 three layer piano, sweet
sax and woodwind voices and drum loops. The sequencer section can handle up to
226,000 notes in 16 tracks, and with lots of new features like Rehearsal Rec
mode. You are only limited by your imagination.
Expandable with Mlan for multi-channel audio and MIDI recording
When you want to move up to mLAN networking Yamahas
high-performance music networking protocol simply install the optional
mLAN16E expansion board (available soon) in your MOTIF ES synthesizer and
youre ready to network and share multiple ports of MIDI data and multiple
channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio data with other mLAN compatible devices or
computers with 1394 Firewire connectors. If your system requires more audio
inputs and outputs than come standard with the MOTIF ES, add an optional AIEB2
I/O Expansion Board for an additional six independent analog inputs and outputs
as well as coaxial and optical stereo digital inputs and outputs.
