A full review is here for the Tyros 4.

“I really can not fit in all the features, sound, styles and everything that is going on in the Tyros 4 as it really is simply so powerful. I think the are a few simple ways to sum it up. I believe anyone who hears this keyboard and questions if it is better than a Tyros 3 can not hear what everyone else can hear. It simply blows the Tyros 3 away. After 2 years of development I would not have thought such changes could have happened but Yamaha have done it again. My advice is to get your wallet ready as you will struggle not to want one.”

The MOTIF XF is the by-product of the original MOTIF, that has a decade long of modifications under its belt. The one aspect that stands out of the XF is its 714 MB of internal Wave ROM that produces realistic sounds of pianos and acoustic instruments, old-school synthesizers and hip hop beats that most producers are using, thus making it the largest internal sound library to be ever placed in a keyboard. Its intricate 8 element architecture with expanded articulation alongside 18 filter types lets the user mold its sound in any way they prefer. The 8 front panel side of the MOTIF XF makes it even simpler to use in real time, and its built in 1664 voices and 97 drum kits makes the XF even more suitable for producers.

What really makes the MOTIF XF stand out is the additional 2GB worth of content that a user can load onto optional Flash RAM expansion modules. All stock and downloaded tracks are instantly saved in these modules and is readily available to use until the user decides to replace them.

Many users have praised the ultimate keyboard, MOTIF XF. They find it appealing to the ears and the instrument has a range of features that can create music that rival the ones that are made using highly professional but old gadgets. Many users are impressed with the MOTIF XF as a whole but are requesting for an increase in memory so that more sounds and pieces can be recorded by those who need it.

There are still a lot of innovations the MOTIF XF can provide to its users. By far, the MOTIF XF is probably and will always be the best piece of electronic instrument a producer or any musician can imagine. The sky is the limit for XF and there will always be room for it to improve and making it better throughout the years. The artists themselves are witnesses to what the MOTIF XF have done not only to their career but also the breakthrough in music and to the craft that they love.
