IвЂ™ll definitely update this article with more info as I progress with the Yamaha Motif XF7.BUENA PARK, Calif. ItвЂ™s a beautiful machine and quickly has become my main board for sequencing and working with multisamples. Other than that, I so far love everything about the Yamaha XF7. Yamaha has never really been strong in the LCD department anyways, so IвЂ™m not all that surprised I guess. Sitting above my XF7 I have the Rolad Fantom X7 and the screen on that thing is beautiful. The LCD screen leaves a lot to be desired as well. Why Yamaha left that out, I have no idea but I do think it was a big omission. Regardless of the times, I think the step sequencer is still relevant and an import tool for sequencing tracks. There is not much I dislike about the Yamaha Motif XF7 with may the exception of the LCD screen and lack of step recording in the sequencer. The Yamaha XF7 definitely works well with sampling.

Not all keyboards and samplers import samples well nor do they sound good. The flash memory is awesome and with the John Melas Waveform editor a breeze to import samples. I love the black color and the XF7 version is fantastic with the extra keys and such. The Yamaha Motif XF7 is a beautiful workstation.

Registration and confirmation of my challenge code for the Karma Motif Software took forever! Slow, Slow, Slow! With that said, just getting oneвЂ™s head around Karma Motif initially will take time. This might sound harsh, but a quick view of the Karma Lab forums will support my notion that there might be one too many Karma products to keep up with.

This means there likely there be very little development, new performances, and frequent updates. There is very little info about Karma for the Motif and next no buzz about the software. I missed that obviously because I didnвЂ™t have the Motif XF7, but a while back I purchased the Karma software for the red Korg Karma and have really enjoyed it. Today I also picked up the new Karma Motif software and will definitely report back on how that works out. I just didnвЂ™t think it would happen soon and as low in price as I found it. I knew the XF7 was going to be an inevitable big purchase. I must note that even if the price was much higher I likely would have bought it anyway provided there was some sort of savings. The Yamaha Motif X7 is a fantastic synthesizer keyboard and perhaps worth every penny, so you can imagine how excited I was to find one. It just seemed like too much money вЂњfor meвЂќ to fork over when I had other obligations at the time. It was just almost year and a half ago that I contemplated spending almost four grand on everything but at the last minute decided to pull out. In addition, I found the Yamaha XF7 came with a hard shell case and two 1 GB flash modules!!! In total I paid fifteen hundred for the set.

I tried the Yamaha XF7 out for about 5 minutes knowing full well I was just doing it for show because I knew this was coming home with me, no doubt! Unbelievable! In fact, I was so surprised at the price and the fact that an XF7 was in the shop that I had a hard time not acting overly excited to the point of raising suspicion which might trigger the sales clerk to rethink selling the keyboard. Thus I was extremely shocked to walk in a used shop this week and find a Yamaha Motif XF7 sitting on the shelf in new condition with a price tag that made me feel like I was robbing the store.

Add to this the fact that other than a Yamaha Motif ES Rack, I have NEVER ever seen one in all of my time checking used music stores over the past three or four years in Nagano-city. The reason is that the Yamaha Motifs hold their value pretty well and they are very popular around Japan. If you browse Yahoo Japan auctions or live in Tokyo you might find one here and there, but ultimately itвЂ™s not that easy. Finding a USED Yamaha Motif series synthesizer in Japan can be quite difficult.
