Customer Reviews  YAMAHA @ IT'S BEST!   by J.C. from MIAMI USA, September 14, 2007 Music Background:  STUDENT “IN A FEW WORDS: THIS IS ALL YOU NEED” • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "At first glance, the Motif XS might not seem altogether different compared to the ES series, but subtle improvements are sometimes the most crucial kind. The user interface is improved with a larger, color LCD, more sliders and knobs, and tighter computer integration. Also, there's no need to worry about dozens of sound expansion options becuase they've included most everything you need and still kept the price affordable. It's obvious that Yamaha has been paying very close attention to details and, most importantly, to the musicians who use their keyboards!"
