But more and more people are becoming familiar with its creamy Prophet-like sound and filters, and its amazing Free EG feature. It took awhile to catch on, as most people at first didn't realise what it could do. designing a modern digital synth that emulates analog functions). The PLG150-AN card has had a bit of a resurgence lately, as more and more people are becoming aware that it might just be one of the best VA's ever, if not the best (actually, they refer to it as "analog modeling" just as Alesis does with the Ion/Micron, as they phsyically modeled an analog synth vs. A fully loaded Motif won't add much to its value, as some customers might even be intimidated by the presence of extras and everyone has their oen needs and wants. You'll make a few hundred more by bastardising it. If you know for sure you want to sell it, do it ASAP (before Christmas especially). You would have been better off selling it in August (probably a $300 difference, if not more, from selling it now).
Unlike some other topics, I do not have inside information on this (if I did, I wouldn't even be throwing out hints) - it's just a hunch based on the patterns I'm seeing with other product announcements and recent pricing changes. I can almost guarantee you that a new workstation is coming from all three major vendors (if not also Kurzweil) at Winter NAMM. Sould I sell this as a complete loaded MotifES6 or should I break it apart and sell the expansion stuff seperately? If I sell it as a bundle does anyone have a good suggested price? I'm really hoping to keep it as a "driving distance" transaction rather than shipping a keyboard. Oh, I also have the three Motif DVD's, the MotifES DVD, and the PDF book "Commanding the Yamaha Motif". Sampling memory is maxed, it has two expansions (PLG150AN and PLG150DX), smart media card, and the "Complete Perfection" library from Motifator which is 8 patch collections bundled together. My question is how best to sell my Motif, and what price? It is pretty mint with lots of options. Selling it will give me a good start towards either a MacPro or a set of Adam monitors, the only two things I really need to finalize my bedroom studio. That leaves my MotifES6 sitting around doing nothing.
I don't play live anymore, I prefer a stick to a wheel, and my other keybords have 76 or 88 keys. While it sounds great, I hardly use my MotifES6.
