The Yamaha MOTIF XF8 includes the sound engine pioneered for the MOTIFXS with an 8 element voice per structure for realistic tone, precise nuances and expressive articulations. With the ability to recreate the legato of wind instruments, natural note release of pianos and natural harmonics of guitar, the XF8 delivers every voice to the highest standard.
The 18 different filter types, advanced 6-stage pitch, filter and amplitude envelopes, unique Wave Cycle feature and assignable modulation Control Sets make the MOTIF XF8 capable of reproducing any synth sound from vintage to modern.
The tone generator supports half damper pedalling via the FC3 foot pedal (sold separately). Combined with the damper resonance effect you can achieve an even more realistic piano sound that simulates the sound board of a grand piano and responds naturally to sophisticated piano pedalling techniques.
Incorporating innovative VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modelling) technology, the Yamaha MOTIF XF8 accurately emulates the effects of vintage EQs, compressors and phaser down to circuitry level. Based on original vintage effects, the VCM produces supreme effect responses never before seen on a digital workstation. The MOTIF XF8 is also equipped with vocoder effects. By connecting a microphone to the MOTIF’s A/D input terminal, you can apply effects to your voice or use your own voice to create harmonies. The MOTIF XF8 also includes the award-winning "REV-X" reverb, the same renowned reverb found in the SPX2000.
Loaded with an expansive arpeggiator capable of performing unique instrument phrases the MOTIF XF8 ensures switching to smooth arpeggio patterns is easy. The ability to layer arpeggio patterns means you can develop musical ideas quickly. The MOTIF XF8 adds to the MOTIF XS’s extensive library of arps and has an additional 1,248 synthesizer, drum, percussion, and ending arpeggios, for a total of 7,881 types of arpeggios.
The Yamaha MOTIF XF8 is packed with impressive features to optimise your performance, tone and playability. One of the most useful features within the MOTIF XF8 is the Performance Mode which can be used to layer up to four voices and split the keyboard into four zones to operate 4 instruments simultaneously. This is perfect for creating a range of instrument combinations such as piano chord patters and woodwind lead sections, acoustic guitar chords with electric guitar leads and more.
The MOTIF XF8 features an Integrated Sampling Sequencer which allows you to combine MIDI and audio samples (driven by MIDI events), so you can create complete songs including vocals, guitars and acoustic instruments all inside the MOTIF XF8. Because the XF8 now features 128MB of on board sampling RAM, you’re able to take advantage of these powerful features without purchasing external memory. The XF sequencer also lets you work the way you want because it features two different sequence modes. You can easily move your production back and forth between song and pattern modes depending on your needs. With the bundled Cubase AI software, you can even import completed songs directly in Cubase including all the audio samples for further editing and mastering.
