Product Description
Yamaha Motif ES6 Music Production Synthesizer
Includes a power cord and free smart media card
About This Keyboard
This keyboard came to us on trade and is in excellent working order and good cosmetically. Every button, knob and slider works exactly as it should but a couple of the rotary knobs are a little wobbly but work well. The screen is bright and clear and all of the keys play perfectly. Cosmetically it is in very nice condition for a keyboard of it's age but the righ end cap has a crack on the front of it. It has no effect on the functionality. It also has the newest firmware version 1.08 already installed and we're including a power cord and smart media card.
OVERVIEW
Unprecedented performance and expressive control.
The Yamaha MOTIF ES6 61-Key Music Production Synthesizer is armed with a huge 175MB wave ROM and an enhanced soundset of 1,859 waveforms for the MOTIF's 1,024 voices and 65 drum kits. The enhanced tone generator chip offers true 128-note polyphony, and a powerful synth engine provides extended parameter options and faster, more precise envelope control. Effects include 20 reverb and 49 chorus/delay types, 8 mastering effects including multiband compression, and a 5-band master EQ. An advanced Phrase Factory arpeggiator with realtime loop remix capability plus parameters such as Swing, Velocity, and Quantize let you easily modify preset arpeggios. Overall expressiveness of the instrument has been expanded with the Mega Voice system, a technology that makes it possible to include all the nuances of an instrument in the sample. It integrates seamlessly with a DAW via its USB connection. A USB To Device port connects to USB storage devices.

It is important to remember that when buying a used keyboard it may not operate or look exactly like a new one. Used keyboards develop wear over time that can cause such items as function buttons, knobs, sliders etc. to fail to operate as smoothly or easily as when they were new. Our technician does check these items and if they are deemed unusable they are replaced but some function buttons may require more pressure or manipulation to make the appropriate changes. Cosmetically your used keyboard may have scuffs, scratches, cracks to plastic pieces, discolored keys or other visual impairments that might not show up in the photos. We try to mention any obvious visual imperfections but may not consider them serious enough to post in the listing.
