This means there likely there be very little development, new performances, and frequent updates. There is very little info about Karma for the Motif and next no buzz about the software.
I missed that obviously because I didn’t have the Motif XF7, but a while back I purchased the Karma software for the red Korg Karma and have really enjoyed it. Today I also picked up the new Karma Motif software and will definitely report back on how that works out. I just didn’t think it would happen soon and as low in price as I found it. I knew the XF7 was going to be an inevitable big purchase. I must note that even if the price was much higher I likely would have bought it anyway provided there was some sort of savings. The Yamaha Motif X7 is a fantastic synthesizer keyboard and perhaps worth every penny, so you can imagine how excited I was to find one. It just seemed like too much money “for me” to fork over when I had other obligations at the time. It was just almost year and a half ago that I contemplated spending almost four grand on everything but at the last minute decided to pull out. In addition, I found the Yamaha XF7 came with a hard shell case and two 1 GB flash modules!!! In total I paid fifteen hundred for the set.
I tried the Yamaha XF7 out for about 5 minutes knowing full well I was just doing it for show because I knew this was coming home with me, no doubt! Unbelievable! In fact, I was so surprised at the price and the fact that an XF7 was in the shop that I had a hard time not acting overly excited to the point of raising suspicion which might trigger the sales clerk to rethink selling the keyboard. Thus I was extremely shocked to walk in a used shop this week and find a Yamaha Motif XF7 sitting on the shelf in new condition with a price tag that made me feel like I was robbing the store. Add to this the fact that other than a Yamaha Motif ES Rack, I have NEVER ever seen one in all of my time checking used music stores over the past three or four years in Nagano-city. The reason is that the Yamaha Motifs hold their value pretty well and they are very popular around Japan. If you browse Yahoo Japan auctions or live in Tokyo you might find one here and there, but ultimately it’s not that easy. Finding a USED Yamaha Motif series synthesizer in Japan can be quite difficult.
