A MOTIF in a rack and then some.
The Yamaha MOTIF Es Rack Module has a proprietary sound chip that includes expanded polyphony (128 notes), and effects (4 inserts in mix mode). The core voices are identical to MOTIF plus 2 additional preset voice banks and 256 user editable voices (twice the user area of MOTIF). MOTIF voices can be loaded directly into the rack via MIDI. Newly developed reverb algorithm. In 16-part multitimbral mode up to 4 voices can have their insertion effects enabled simultaneously, and each of the 16 parts has it's own 3-band EQ.
