- DIFFERENCE IN SOUND BETWEEN YAMAHA MOTIF XF AND MOXF MANUALS
- DIFFERENCE IN SOUND BETWEEN YAMAHA MOTIF XF AND MOXF PLUS
The two main keyboard manuals were 8-voice polyphonic like the CS-80 would be, and the top solo keyboard and bass pedals were monophonic.

In our Yamaha Vintage Analog library, we have also provided some pre-programmed mixes of sawtooth and sine Waveforms and also PWM square and sine Waveforms to more quickly get you to the classic CS-80 tonality.Ĭan you imagine the behemoth CS-80 as a "light version?" It sound preposterous, but in many ways, the CS-80 was a scaled-down version of the massive GX-1, a rare console instrument with three keyboard manuals plus bass pedals, each with their own tone generators. Again, this is something that the Motifs can recreate quite well with their 8 Element architecture. It makes so much more sense to simply bring up the sine wave post-filter to mix with the other filtered waveforms. by passing the sine wave through the filter? A rhetorical question, of course. So why add extra circuitry, extra noise, distortion, etc. This makes perfect sense from a purist engineering standpoint since the sound of a pure sine wave will not be affected by a high pass or low pass filter unless you filter past its fundamental frequency … which will simply turn it down in volume or make it disappear altogether. Rather than putting it as part of the pre-filter waveform mix, the CS-80 Sine wave output actually appears after the filter. And they did something especially interest with the Sine wave output. The Yamaha engineers knew this well, and they provided that functionality in the CS-80. Serious synthesists know that by combining a sawtooth wave with a pulse-width-modulated square wave, you can convincingly generate the tone of two oscillators beating against each other from a single oscillator. The CS-80 also gave you the ability to combine the waveform outputs of each oscillator, another thing that set it apart from many other analogs of its day. Interestingly enough, this layout is remarkably similar to the multiple "Element" architecture in the current Motif instruments, the CS-80's modern-day descendants! Following that thinking, in our Motif sound library we have provided many single oscillator Waveforms that you can combine using the 8 Motif Elements per Voice to faithfully reproduce this circuit topology. Other manufacturers mixed their oscillators prior to going into a single "per voice" filter The CS-80 quite contrastingly provided a dedicated high pass and low pass filter for each oscillator. Unlike Moog, Oberheim and other analog synths of the same period, the CS-80 has a dedicated audio path for each oscillator. Perhaps the most unique thing about the CS-80 is its audio path. Weighing in at over 200 lbs., it is clear that Yamaha did not cut any corners with this analog masterpiece. Rather than build a cheap-as-possible everyman keyboard, Yamaha built a true "musical instrument" to be at the summit of synthesizer technology, build quality and musical expressiveness. You have heard the CS-80 in countless classic tracks in all musical genres from this era and through the 80s as well as in groundbreaking electronic film scores like Vangelis "Blade Runner" and Toto's "Dune." Yamaha has an unrivaled tradition for extensive research and development efforts, and the CS-80 is physical evidence of this.

Surely the most famous Yamaha analog synth is the prestigious CS-80 which was produced for only a few short years in the late 1970s. But the amazing analog instruments from Yamaha are often overlooked in vintage collections, and we ve taken some big steps to correct that with this new library that focuses solely and specifically on these classic analog instruments from Yamaha. We all know about vintage Moog, Oberheim, ARP and Sequential Circuits synths, and these have been presented in vintage sample libraries time and time again. It has been a real privilege to create this fantastic new library for the Motif. The Making of Sonic Reality's "Yamaha Vintage Analog" bank for the Motif XS/XF
