I have a Motif XF and a Tyros 3. The sound Generators are very different. The Acoustic Voices on a Tyros, especially the SA and SA2 Voice, are fantastic and superior to the Motif. These are two very different instruments. The Motif is a workstation and the Tyros an Arranger. Having both is wonderful. I much prefer the Motif Arp concept to the Tyros Styles. Since I use a lot of Acoustic voices: Sax, Clarinet, Harmonica, Trumpet, Flute, Guitar and String sections the Tyros is invaluable. However the Motif Pianos and Drums are better. Plus the Arp concept allows infinite arrangements while the Tyros styles are fixed with limited customization. Also the overall sound is superior on the Motif. It is more live while the Tyros has a smoother CD sound quality. And Synths, PADs and Electic Guitars and Pianos are much better on the Motif. |

Thank you for your replies!
I assume it is more important/depends on which kind of music somebody wants to produce rather than which instrument sounds “better”.
Probably if somebody wants to produce Electronical music and dance music, he might have better chances with the Motif XF than with the Tyros 5. Best regards |

Hi,
I hope when you adjust the volume (or other settings) of a voice, this setting gets saved?
Best regards |

Any USER edits to a Preset VOICE will only be saved if you STORE the VOICE as a USER VOICE to a USER location. Preset VOICES remain intact. Edits to USER VOICES can be preserved by STORING the VOICE, which will overwrite the previous version if STORED to the same USER location, or create a new VOICE if named and STORED to a new USER location. |

Hi Raven80 - It depends on what you mean by “tone generator.” Some of the Tyros models use the same Yamaha tone generation chip (SWP51L) as the Motif XS and MOX/MOXF. (I haven’t looked under the hood of the XF or T5.) Through software, Yamaha creates a full tone generation system based on the low-level hardware. In this sense, yep, the Tyros and the Motif/MOX are quite different. There are similarities between SA and Expanded Articulation (XA) although they are controlled quite differently. The Tyros does more analysis of incoming MIDI notes including timing analysis. SA and XA are similar technology, but SA2 is different beast altogether. SA2 uses the results of the analysis to select and stitch together articulation waveforms using cross-fading and other techniques to get a natural, controllable vibrato. On your PSR-E443, you should be able to save your voice settings to a registration memory. It’s not as flexible as saving individual voices, but it could save some work. Hope this helps - pj |
