The original MOTIF was released in 2001, in a rather fetching shade of industrial blue we might add. Over time, it has continued to evolve and improve its expressiveness and functionality. During which time, the online community of end users, sound programmers, software developers and product support specialists at www.motifator.com has expanded into a vibrant online music production community. The latest addition to the Motif lineage is the Motif XF8, providing new expansion capabilities with flash memory, along with an enormous 741MB of waveforms, an additional 128 voices and eight drum kits, for a total of 1,353 voices.
There’s also up to 2GB of additional content available through separately sold flash memory, 384 types of performances based on approximately 7800 types of arpeggiators, enhanced sampling through 128MB of onboard SD-RAM, improved usability due to a new GUI that includes a Category Search feature, DAW integration through remote control, an editor application, and scalability through standard-equipped USB and Ethernet and the FW16E option.
