Used - Excellent+ Condition
The mother of all music production workstations, the Yamaha Motif ES8 88-Key Music Production Synthesizer features a huge 175MB wave ROM, an enhanced soundset of 1,859 waveforms for the Motif's 1,024 voices, plus 65 drum kits.

An enhanced effects system includes 20 reverb types and 49 chorus/delay types, 8 types of mastering effects including multi-band compression, and a 5-band master EQ.  The Motif ES8 houses an advanced Phrase Factory arpeggiator with realtime loop remix capability plus parameters such as Swing, Velocity, and Quantize so you can easily modify preset arps. Overall expressiveness of the instrument has been expanded with Yamaha's "Mega Voice" system, a technology that makes it possible to include all the nuances of an instrument in the sample.  The Motif ES integrates seamlessly with DAWs via its USB connection to function as a control surface, plus it also has a USB "To Device" port for connection to USB storage devices.  Make the most of your composition abilities with the use of this masterpiece of music production hardware!
