Yamaha Motif Music Production Synthesizer total integration of Midi and AudioYamaha Digital Musical Instruments, announces the arrival of one of its most-anticipated and innovative products at Summer NAMM 2001, the Motif Music Production Synthesizer.{2207.jpgr76-key Motif 7 Motif combines the sonic power of the world's most advanced synthesizer, the hands-on immediacy of a groove box, a unique Integrated Sampling Sequencer (ISS) and an approachable user interface—in one incredible package. Not only does Motif effortlessly master the traditional linear method of song production, but also simplifies an integral part of today's music-making process: cutting and pasting different sections of music and audio phrases, or 'motifs.' The 61-key Motif 6, 76-key Motif 7, and weighted-action 88-key Motif 8 feature initial and after-touch and full 62-note polyphony. All models are currently available. Yamaha's AWM2 tone generation and an amazing 85 MB of Wave ROM (when converted to 16-bit linear format) provide a palette of high-quality sounds: stereo acoustic instruments, modern dance sounds, ambient textures and many of the best waveforms from Yamaha's acclaimed S80, 9000 Pro and EX family of synthesizer products. An improved Category Search function provides quick access to favorite sounds. 76-key Motif 7 (rear) Download image (Right-click and Save As): Low-Res (72 dpi JPG) High-Res (300 dpi JPG) The main concept behind Motif is the Integrated Sampling Sequencer (ISS), which is designed to seamlessly integrate audio and MIDI. Any of the 16 tracks in the sequencer can be either MIDI or Stereo Audio Phrases. Audio can be recorded using the built-in, high-quality stereo A/D converters, external digital sources or by digitally re-sampling internal voices, performances and sequences. These phrases may be recorded using the Internal Sampling Sequencer's "Sample with Note" or "Slice with Sequence" methods. "When Yamaha introduced Motif to industry insiders earlier this year, the buzz was that this product took hands-on song creation and remixing to a whole new level," explains Athan Billias, marketing manager, Digital Musical Instruments, Pro Audio & Combo Division. "With its delivery, we anticipate that Motif will truly revolutionize the music-making process." "Sample with Note" automatically creates a sample "Voice." This voice is mapped to the keyboard and triggered with a MIDI note. "Slice with Sequence" is a process whereby recorded audio is analyzed and "sliced" into pieces (based on time segments and amplitude peaks). Motif then generates an accurate MIDI sequence to re-trigger the audio. The sliced phrases can then be modified using MIDI controls to change the Tempo, Swing or any other musical parameter controllable by MIDI. Both Linear Song and Pattern Modes are available in the 200,000-note on-board sequencer. Once song sections—complete with Audio phrases—are created, they may then be arranged and remixed in real time using Motif's Real Time Pattern Chain Recording, which allows hands-on recording of Section Changes, Song Scenes and Mute buttons. Sampling memory may be increased up to 64 MB using PC SIMMs for a maximum time of 6 minutes, 20 seconds of stereo sampling at 44.1 kHz and up to 8,192 individual samples. In addition to ISS-style sampling, Motif offers extensive import capabilities including AIFF and WAVE formats, plus import functions for Akai and Yamaha A Series samplers that include both sample mapping and program parameters. Motif offers complete hands-on control. Four physical sliders and four physical knobs work as 16 Virtual knobs and 16 Virtual sliders via the Track Select and Knob Select buttons; in Mix Mode, these sliders and knobs provide all the capabilities of a 16-channel digital mixer. In addition, templates are included for using Motif as a remote control surface for the most popular software sequencers (including Steinberg Cubase VST, Logic Audio, Cakewalk and Digidesign Pro Tools). In Remote Control mode, Motif's Transport Controls, Track Selects, Mutes, 16 Virtual knobs and sliders all provide a physical interface to the external software sequencer. Three expansion slots allow Motif to accept Yamaha's PLG Modular Synthesis Plug-in Expansion boards, resulting in new sounds, effects, additional notes of polyphony and new synthesis engines. Motif also contains a built-in USB MIDI interface, SCSI port and SmartMedia card slot, and is compatible with Macintosh (iMac, G4 or G3) or USB-equipped Windows PC platforms (Windows 98 or higher). Motif is ready for both the current generation of Yamaha mLAN expansions and future mLAN products. + Post comment/question/reply
