Yamaha Motif 8 Production stopped?

[merijn]

I tried to check on the price and I got this...




Closeout

BRAND NEW. Full manufacturer warranty and Music123's 45 day 100% satisfaction guarantee. Great opportunity to SAVE MONEY, because the manufacturer has discontinued this model and WE HAVE DROPPED THE PRICE.


Is that true?

[Mike Martin]

Its been replaced by the Motif ES 8.

[Over The Edge]

Well, for $100 more you get a lot of improvement
over the classic Mo8. Well worth it!

What's the blow out price?

Dont they also have a trade / upgrade program?

Both the Motif 7 and Motif 8 have been discontinued. The Motif 6 is still going to be made as a cut down introduction to the line (fulfilling the role of the Triton Classic at Korg). The Motif ES is a vastly superior beast though for the extra cash.

They ask 2100 USD for the Motif 8. Can you tell me what the diffirences are between Motif and ES 8. If it's in the synth overview done by our wonderful synthguy, tell me, and I'll find it myself. :D

I thought the LE is Korg's lowest Triton model...

[Mike Martin]

ES = Expanded System

[Angelic Layer]
