About this listing
SAY HELLO TO THE 'UNKNOWN" LEGENDARY YAMAHA MOTIF's FUNKY BROTHER! 😄 IT IS EVERY BIT AS POWERFULL (if not more powerful!), BUT GROOVIER, WITH TONS MORE PERSONALITY, AND SOOOOO FUNKY!!! Think of it as the life loving, free-spirited brother to a suit wearing businessman, who doesn't take things too seriously, yet it KICKS A.. in every aspect! SUPER POWERFUL, UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING/REALISTIC SOUNDS, RAW, SERIOUS HEAVY BEATS, PHAAAAT BASS, SCREAMING LEADS... It has not one, not two, but FOUR SYNTH ENGINES!!! It is INSANELY POWERFUL/CAPABLE!!! ITS A MONSTER!This FREAK is a love child of ALESIS and AKAI, after their merger. I'd say it is more AKAI... 😉This MUSICIAN'S DREAM-GEAR is FULLY FUNCTIONAL, and I would say it is in MINT condition, if only it did not have that tiny (hard to see) dimple right below the keybed (shown in pictures). Because otherwise it is pretty close to being perfect! But respectfully, since everyone has different standards, please don't take my word for it; I'll let the pictures do the talking. 🙂I am sure that if you are looking at this item, you know everything about it. So, I will first tell you about this particular gem:IT HAS JUST BEEN FULLY SERVICED AND IS READY FOR A NEW HOME!The following services were just done, which cost me over $200! IF you find another one for less than what mine is selling for, and since most of the used ones out there, that are supposed to be "fully functional", turn out NOT to be; you will then need to find someone who would work on these (which is very rare nowadays), and then who knows how much it would cost to make it fully functional??! Especially since these synths are over 15 years old, which means unless they had just been serviced, hardly any of them would be fully functional; and CONDITION IS EVERYTHING!SERVICES DONE:Full inspectionKey-bed servicedAll knobs servicedAll contacts cleanedAll buttons servicedCleaned inside and outIT HAS HARDLY BEEN USED! New in 2005 sold for $2499.99!!! So at this price, and in this condition, IT IS A BARGAIN!After trying it on/having fun with it (the best part about what I do with every single synth I get/have 😄), these are my professional insights/opinions about this magnificent machine:A SUPER CAPABLE WORKSTATION WITH AMAZING SOUNDSHUUUUGE LIBRARYGROSSLY UNDER-RATEDSUPERB WEIGHTED KEY-BEDHAS SAMPLINGTHE PERFECT SYNTH FOR THE STUDIO!!!THE BEST SELECTION OF SYNTH AND NATURAL SOUNDS I'VE EVER HEARD!TONS OF CONTROLSHAS 8 AUDIO INPUTS!!!HAS EVERYTHING YOU'D EVER WANT/NEED INSIDE!

Every random hit on the keyboard/patch turns into a song! You will never be short of an idea! It is truly amazing...THINK OF THIS AS A MANIACH WITH A MIND OF ITS OWN!!! 😄 I truly LOVE this BEAST...READ MORE ABOUT THIS DEVICE BELOW! (under "some specs from the web")BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE VIDEO INCLUDED! IT'S FUN!THIS WOULD MAKE AN AMAZING GIFT FOR ALL OCCASIONS, INCLUDING CHRISTMAS, BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY... 😉Please feel free to ask me any questions; I will try my best to find the answers for you.Also, let me know if you need any more pictures.Thank you,KevinP.s. I PACK SAFE and SHIP FAST!A VIDEO:WHY BUY FROM ME?When you're buying a vintage (or just a used) car, does the condition matter? Of course it does! 😊 Are two used cars that are the same make and model the same? Would all similar (year, make and model) cars sell at the same price? No; there are many factors that would decide what price they fetch. Mileage, body, functionality, extra options, service history, past use... and one of the most important ones is CONDITION, which is everything! That is the reason a factory certified used Mercedes, fetches at least $4000 more, than the one you'd buy from a private seller you find on Craigslist.😊That's why when it comes to buying a used car, price is not everything... And buying a secondhand synthesizer, is no different than purchasing a vintage or used car.Yes, I'm proud of my children for sure. Mainly because when it comes to used keyboards and synths (just like used cars), condition is EVERYTHING! I have searched hard, hand-picked and collected only the best of the best that are in pristine condition (majority of them); and then had them professionally inspected, serviced/repaired (if needed), reprogrammed/restored (if needed), detailed... There's definitely value in that. On average, I spend about four hours on every single keyboard, before offering it for sale, and if they're not serviced, or if they don't pass the inspection, I don't sell them! I believe in selling ONLY quality items, to ensure that my clients are very happy with their purchase, which produces repeats, referrals and customers for life! 😁Not to mention the professional musicians, that rely on their instrument's health, and it's their livelihood, for whom I have the biggest respect, and want them to have a reliable machine.With all other used gear from other sources, including the major retailers, you'd have to keep your fingers crossed until it arrives... And most often, they are not what they were described to be, and often enough turn into headaches or heartaches...but you can rest assured that, if you buy from me, you will get a fully functional gear, and (specially for the online buyers) you'll get to see tons of details and pictures, before making up your mind! 🙂No retailer would service them prior to the sale, as it costs an additional $300-$400! Not to mention finding a Synth Tech is extremely difficult and costly these days! And that is what I do, as a labor of love! I do this because I really enjoy ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about synthesizers! Buying, selling, fixing, collecting, playing...I just love them! 😍And finally, CUSTOMER SERVICE, which is also one of the major factors in retail/buying. I try my very best to provide everyone with the best service and experience; a fun one!😁I do this in a timely manner, even/specially after the sale, which is when most sellers disappear, or just don't care/reply...You can check my reviews, and hear what people say about me. 😊And if you are a local, and come in for a face to face visit; I usually set aside an hour for each client, so they would have enough time to browse all the different options (I select a few based on their requirements/needs prior to their arrival); try them out in person, instead of a porch pick up, and app payment! 😀And since I am unbiased about my inventory, I offer a free consultation (which is a very valuable service), to help make sure they get what's best for them, instead of spending too much on the wrong gear. And since I've been around Synthesizers for over three decades, have serviced/repaired hundreds, and have hundreds available (which is one of the largest selections of used synthesizers found in one place!), I may know a thing or two about them...😄. And that alone is worth something, especially if you're new to the keyboard world, and don't know much about them/know where to start...If you've made it this far on this very long scroll 😄, you have my biggest thank you!😊Please let me know how I can assist you create art that gives you wings, and takes you into a different world; that is crafting music...A LITTLE ABOUT ME:I am a 46-year-old, with a degree in electronic engineering, who LOVES Synthesizers, Music, and Electronics in general. Even though I do not work in the electronic field; I have always loved it, never separated; and as a hobby, I collect and fix them (if broken); and sometimes sell them to make room for others...SOME SPECS FROM THE WEB:(The following information is from the web, and not my words, so I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the statements, but believe them to be accurate, to the best of my limited knowledge on this instrument)Polyphony - Dynamic Voice Allocation (average around 190 voices per engine)Multitimbral - 16 parts in Mix mode, 32 Parts in Song modeSampler - 44.1Khz Stereo Sampler with 64MBx2 expandable to 192MBx2 (12 to 37 mono minutes sampling time)Oscillators - Per Patch: 3 VA Oscs / 6 FM Ops / 4 Sample Oscs / 1 Physical Modeling OscWaveforms - Sine, Saw, Pulse, Noise & ROM SamplesLFO - Multiple LFOs, with multiple wave shapes and S&HFilter - 20 TypesEnvelope - Multiple ADSR envelopes, routable to many destinationsEffects - 4 Insert Effects and 2 Send Effects per patch, 80 typesSequencer - 32 MIDI Tracks, 8-Track 24-bit Hard Disk RecorderPatterns - UnlimitedSongs - UnlimitedArpeggiator - Standard, Phrase and Drum Machine ModesKeyboard - 61 keys (6HD) / 88 weighted-keys (8HD).
