Yamaha Tyros 4 Arranger vs. Yamaha Motif XF Synth

by MJ

This is the thread for Yamaha Tyros 4 vs. Motif XF and I'm sure it will be interesting considering that both have their loyalists.

The Tyros 4 is a great arranger but has limited programming abilities compared to the Motif.

So if you are a studio guy and like to create from scratch then you will definitely like the Motif. The Tyros won't have sampling, no pattern sequencer, no multichannel Firewire audio interface…enough reasons to put-off anybody who is keen to create his own unique sounds.

On the other hand if you are a performance guy, like simulating a live band, and want the instruments to sound as real as possible, then you will like the Tyros. You have more control over the performance related nuances on the Tyros compared to other keyboards.
