Motif XS series have a wide range of choice of realistic sounds other than an impressive 355MB of high-quality waveforms and samples on board.
It has a new feature of XA (Expanded Articulation) tone generation system which allows you to generate realistic sound and natural performance techniques.
It allows the switch of sounds within a voice in real time. I.e. while playing a classical guitar voice, switch between playing normally and playing in high harmonics can be done in real time.
Motif XS has a complete set of effects, both insert (insertion) and send (system) and it includes a special set of VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) effects which authentically model the elements in analog circuitry, recreating the unique characteristics of vintage processing gear in a very authentic way.

Yamaha Motif XS Series Review (XS8, XS7, XS6)
I think Yamaha EX sounds are much better. It has a deep biting analog sounds and the trombone tuba sounds, which are unmatched by any other synth. I regret selling my XS5, Yamaha has a depth, richness and lusciousness I?m still searching for.

Excellent for live performances by: Hustleiet
I do live performances and use this keyboard and it's a pleasure to play. There are a few control buttons they could add to make it easier playing live but nevertheless, no complaints.
