Yamaha pulled out the stops with the MOTIF XF8, giving you an unbelievably feature-packed instrument for music performance and music production. And when you buy your MOTIF XF from Sweetwater, you'll receive a Sweetwater-enhanced version of Yamaha's 10th Anniversary Upgrade, with over $1,000 in software and hardware! This powerful workstation features an extraordinary collection of voices for you to get creative with.

And with the new OS, complete with tap tempo, automapping, and a customizable user interface, the MOTIF XF8 is more powerful yet easier to use than ever.

Your personal hit-making assistant
When it's time to come up with new song ideas, you can count on your MOTIF XF8 to be your personal hit-making assistant. Use the 16-track sequencer to lay everything out the way you hear it in your head. Then, record everything via USB to keep track of your tunes. In fact, you've got USB, Ethernet, or optional FireWire computer connectivity going for your Yamaha MOTIF XF8. And speaking of options, there are two flash board slots for adding up to 2GB of additional Yamaha content - that's huge.

You'll never run out of great sounds
What else can we tell you about the Yamaha MOTIF XF8? If you're serious about playing keys and producing music, then you already know about it. It's a colossal music-making tool. There are loads of voices (1,664+), an awesome arpeggiator (7,000+ patterns!), a high-quality keybed (balanced hammer effect on the XF8), scores of high-tech effects made to sound like vintage gear, and remote control DAW integration. It's the MOTIF you've heard about, on steroids - and only for the serious keyboardist, producer, and musician.

Sweetwater exclusive: Over $1,000 in free software and hardware
We've upped the ante. We've taken the Yamaha MOTIF XF 10th Anniversary Pack with $800 of hardware and software and pumped it up into a Sweetwater version worth over $1,000! We've taken Yamaha's free 512MB Flash Board and swapped it with a 1,024MB (1GB) Flash Board (a $299 value). We've also added an exclusive Sweetwater Sample Library for the MOTIF XF (128 programs), combined them with the Chick Corea Electric Piano Library and put the file onto a 4GB thumb drive along with the latest Operating System updater file. We've even included a Sweetwater Guide to help you update your MOTIF XF, easily install the 1,024MB Flash Board, and load the sample libraries into the Flash Board. (And since it's flash, you only have to load it once!) All in, this is an unbeatable deal on a monster workstation!
