James fair enough but do you honestly think the Motif XS/XF sounds compressed?
Nope, it's not compression. What I'm missing when I hear the motif is warmth and a organic sound.
The motif sounds very processed and CD like to me. It seems to lack the ability to reproduce the recordings Yamaha made of the instruments they sampled in their natural an very intimate setting.
In short I want to fell like I'm listen to Yamaha's raw recordings of the sample session, not listening to a CD that was recorded later on.
I get that organic and real sound from my OASYS HD-1 engine.

James
