It also keeps the price down to make it much more affordable. _________________________ Roland G70 / Roland BK9 / Roland GW8-L / Yamaha Motif XS / Technics KN6500

MX88 has the Motif sounds in it. _________________________ ~Johnathan "The Shueys" www.shueymusic.com Yamaha Genos - RCF M20x - RCF HD10A (Stereo) - Jupiter Pocket Trumpet - Sennheiser e935 - Neumann KMS-104 plus-N

squeak_D Senior Member Registered: 10/08/00 Posts: 4715 Loc: West Virginia	I like Yamaha a great deal, but this new MX model IMO is grossly overpriced for what it is. This is a "new" synth choc full of ten year old sounds. If I read the info correctly the sound set is from the Motif XS series. At this price there should be XF specific sounds, and a larger screen. I find it hard to justify $1,000 for this when you consider the Korg Kross 88 and the Juno DS 88. Again, I'm a fan of Yamaha (love my MOXF6), but Yammie is really reaching with this model IMO. _________________________ GEAR: Yamaha MOXF-6, Casio MZX-500, Roland Juno-Di, M-Audio Venom, Roland RS-70, Yamaha PSR S700, M-Audio Axiom Pro-61 (Midi Controller).

Squeak maybe its a way to sell off old parts and stock for Yamaha in a repackage? also with any synth being you can recreate sounds and edit the perimeters in so many ways you can make so called NEW sounds all the time too.
