Yamaha XSpand Your World

One of the top sampling music workstations in the world, the Yamaha Motif XS is also among the most expandable. The diverse array of features the Yamaha Motif XS could be very overwhelming for the first-time user. It's also possible that with a lack of tools for expansion, it would be a waste not to utilize the capabilities of the Motif XS to the fullest extent possible. Featured at Summer NAMM 2009, the four-DVD set Yamaha XSpand Your World ensures that Motif XS users get the full deal with their music workstations.

The XSpand Your World series features four instructional DVDs: "The World of Motif XS, "Cubase AI Tutorial", "X Factor VST 3rd Party Megapack", and "XSpand Your World". Being packaged along with the Motif XS, it's already a $400-value being given away for free. It just shows how lucky Motif XS users can get.

A complete three-and-a-half tour of the Motif XS, "The World of Motif XS" gives a detailed overview of the features and functions of Motif XS including Voice, Performance Pattern, and Song features as well as elucidation navigating its buttons and customization of each mode. The use of controllers, playing multiple arpeggios, using offsets, and other details are covered in this DVD.

The "Cubase AI Tutorial" is a walkthrough that's not just a step-by-step video for users of Cubase AI. Even advanced users of Cubase 4.5 and 5 will get new insights with this release.

The "X Factor VST 3rd Party Megapack" gives the Motif XS user numerous VST software applications from top VST developers such as Arturia, Sonic Reality, IK Multimedia, and more.

The "XSpand Your World" sample and voice content DVD has sound sets to load into the sample RAM of the Motif XS. Among the featured sound sets are the S700 piano sample, guitar and bass samples from Sonic Reality's Reason ReFills, and others. While these sounds may be numerous, it's only part of the ongoing XSpand Your World Promotion as you can download more sounds, either for free or for purchase, at www.motifator.com.

Oh, if I haven't mentioned it enough, the Yamaha XSpand Your World DVD Series is given away for free if you purchase a Motif XS.
