The note synth action keybed feels very nice to play and responds well even when playing piano sounds. The portability is great and the whole package weighs in at just 7. Build quality is generally sturdy, if a little plasticky, but we wouldn't have any reservations about using the MOXF6 on stage regularly, though we'd want a sturdy flightcase to protect it. The only other noticeable difference is underneath, where there's now a slot for adding the flash expansion card option. The latest Motif-derived boards to be launched, the MOXF6 and 8, continue firmly in the same tradition, taking the best sounds and features from the flagship Motif XF range and distilling them down into more affordable packages. Things have been tweaked and continually improved over this time but the Motif range has remained well-respected due to its solid sounds, reliability, versatility and deep editing facilities.
Yamaha's Motif range has now been in production in its various incarnations for a staggering 13 years. The upgrades are welcome - and it still trumps the competition in terms of sonics and power - but the interface is showing its age next to the Krome and Roland FA.
