Looks quite sleek at first, but that tiny LCD screen... brrrr...

Artemiy.... what's an Yamana MOX?
I understand you... you can't even write the brand's name correctly...

Can we take a synth named after the Simpsons bartender seriously? Perhaps we could paint one red and call it a flaming mo?

Well, time for a little history:
High-end - corresponding - mid / low end (in the same timeframe)


Motif to (nothing)
Motif ES to MO
Motif XS to MM
Motif XF to MOX
? to MOFOX (or maybe MMF?)

:D

Constructive criticism: it's Yamama, not Yamana. :)))

i really dont understand yxmxhx (insert vowel of choice) and their tiny screens.. I mean, i can understand getting pigeonholed into a clunky operational UI but a screen smaller than a free cellphone is just plain dumb.

but i am sure this will sell well as a budget workstation now that the Juno G has gone.

You got it wrong... The MO is a lite ES, yeah. But the MM was basically a toy, and worse than a MO. The new MOX doesn't get its wave rom from the new XF but the older XS.

maybe you should have read what I've put into brackets :)
I'm mainly poking at names, not making any synth comparisons here. I agree with your description though (except I don't think MOX will have full XS waverom anyway so it doesn't matter which Motif they're based of). Should they have put their 4-tiered chord-recognition arpeggiators on the MOX, they might have hit a real success. But as it is I still think Kurzweil PC361 (or the PC3LE61 for budget buyers) to rule over this one. At least those have a VA inside. Oh, and Yammie and Kurz menus are equally awful... that's why they both have a computer editor :D

Exactly, and IMHO they are not bad at all, actually...

For eighteen months, we have been wondering what you meant.

Thanks for the clarification, Paulo!

I'm going to wait for the YAMAMA MOFO line to come out.
