S90 ES Piano - The S90ES piano is one of Yamaha’s most popular sampled piano sounds. The samples feature an S700 $250,000 hand crafted piano, which provides a spacious, warm sound perfect for intimate jazz, classical and solo piano work. Because it was designed for S90ES internal ROM, it has been looped using Yamaha’s proprietary looping tools, reducing the size without minimizing its unique character.
Brass and Winds - Includes trumpets, flugelhorn, soprano, alto and tenor sax, sax sections, clarinets, oboes, harmonica, accordion and pan flutes. Many of these have multiple articulations and playing styles to take advantage of the workstation’s Expanded Articulation engine, creating incredibly realistic recreations of acoustic instruments. Different mutes, sax sections, stereo brass falls, and a variety of different vibratos are all part of this collection.
Vocals and Choirs - The Vocal and Choir samples in the XS sample pack feature Scat Vocals, Gospel, and multiple choir sounds, including humming. These can be combined with the internal vocal sounds to give a stunning variety of life-like vocal articulations. The Scat Live sound has multiple voices in different velocity layers ( Do, Bah, Duh, etc)
Strings - Two new ensemble strings were selected to add to the variety of ensembles available in the internal ROM.
XStras - This file also includes 150 arpeggios from the Keyfax Twiddly.Bits libraries including new guitar strumming patterns, conga patterns and drum patterns from a variety of styles. In the Pattern Mode are 16 sliced audio files taken from Sonic Reality’s Groove Packs. Finally there are 20 new Performances showing off some of the new sounds.
Samples culled from DCP’s Vintage Keys, B’s Knees, Axxe, Complete Orchestra, Mo School, and Renaissance and Folk Instruments libraries, create a killer bank of sounds. The DCP Productions Sample Pack includes 253 MB of samples and 64 Voices.
Ethnic instruments from around the world including instruments from Africa, Europe, India, Japan the Middle East , South America , Asia, and Australia
Motifator 3.0
The new site is coming along nicely and we will launch by the start of Winter NAMM next week.
Software and Drivers
People have been talking about 64 bit drivers and other software. We will be releasing a tremendous amount of software and updates in the next few weeks. This is one of the reasons we really needed to develop the new Motifator 3.0 system.
One of the core parts of this is the new Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver which will support Windows Vista64 and will allow not just peer to peer connections ( one product to one computer) , but multiple products connected to one computer.
Here is a list of software that will be released in the next few weeks.

All of these will support Windows Vista 64 as well as the other current OS on both Windows and MAC .
Motif OS updates update
On the Motif XS OS side of things, we have been in contact with engineers we have had very positive response about a number of issues that people have raised here. Specifically, we recieved information that the LFO sync issue and the sustaining notes over loop boundaries in pattern mode will be addressed and we are working out the details of the release schedules for the next few months.
There is still lots more to come, but in the meantime download the free sounds and enjoy!
Over the next two months there will be a series of free downloads and new sample banks coming. By next week when the new Motifator site goes up there will be videos on line showcasing all these sounds and giving everyone a much better idea of what's coming.
