We all know about the great Super Articulation voices in the Tyros 2 (and soon also in the PSR-S900). In the new Motif XS Yamaha uses a slighthly different term, i.e. Xpanded Articulation. I have been wondering how closely these two concepts - SA and XA - are related to each other?

The great thing about SA voices is that the keyboard is constantly analyzing your playing style and uses this to select which samples are going to be played. This works extremely well and you can have your left hand free for playing chords. On the Moitf XS demos I have seen the demonstrator uses controllers - buttons, knobs, and sliders - when playing the XA voices. I had hoped that the Motif XS range would have sounds similar to the SA voices in the Tyros 2/PSR-S900, but now I am in doubt.

Does anyone dare to comment on this - maybe Squeak

Kind regards,
Tommy
