So, how does it play? Whats your opinion about it? Personally i really love the Motif line and the only thing i miss in it is an arranger and maybe some of the SA and SA2 voices of T4.

Neither of which will be in the XF.

Had ti unwind a sale of my XS8 until November as the XF is backordered until November.....With 8 independantly and very highly editiable elements per voice you can create your own "SA" voices.

I dont think you can create SA voices only cuz
it has 8 Elements, SA is not only about the
Elements and has nothing to do really with Layers,
SA is other functions, same as on Korg, RX and DNC
its 2 completely different things same as MV and SA.

Kingfrog,

I got my XF in, why are they telling you that they are back-ordered?

I made an inquiry about buying one direct on the employee purchase program and was told as of yesterday by Kollin they were backordered until November. You apparently ordered yours earlier. The same wasn't true of the Tyros 4. I can get one of those now but want to sell my T3 first.

IS the XF that good? I was going to pass on it and keep the XS but I was offered enough to make it worthwhile to buy the XF (the prices did not soar like the Tyros.) So I emailed Kollin and got the bad news.....So I am seriously wondering if the XF is that much better now. Did not appear so on paper alredy having a Tyros 3 and going on a T4...... Motifactor has some good information BTW the XF6 is also backordered LOL....
