Four DVD Set: "XSpand Your World" Now Bundled with Yamaha's Motif XS

The Motif XS is more than just the top sampling music workstation on the market, it's also the most expandable. To help Motif XS owners get the most from their instrument, Yamaha introduces the new "XSpand Your World" four DVD bundle pack at Summer NAMM 2009. This DVD collection features four different discs: "The World of Motif XS," a "Cubase AI Tutorial," the "X Factor VST 3rd Party Megapack," and the "XSpand Your World" sample and voice content disc, with a combined retail value of over $400. The three-and-a-half-hour-long "The World of Motif XS" provides a complete tour of the features and functions of this remarkable board, including the Voice, Performance pattern and Song features, demystifies navigating the buttons and how to customize each mode. Topics also include using controllers, playing the multiple arpeggios, making use of the offsets, Play FX and more, all covered in detail. The "Cubase AI Tutorial" walks viewers through the features of this powerful Digital Audio Workstation. Not only is the step-by-step video a must for users of Cubase AI and beginners to the software, but it's also recommended for seasoned pros who use more powerful versions like Cubase 4.5 and Cubase 5. The third DVD in the series, the "X Factor VST 3rd Party Megapack" offers hundreds of dollars of VST software from top names in the industry, including Yamaha, Sonic Reality, IK Multimedia, Arturia, and more. The XSpand Your World sample and voice content DVD contains sound sets to load into the sample RAM memory of the Motif XS. Including the S700 piano sample from the S90ES, guitars and basses from Sonic Reality's Reason Refills, and hundreds of megabytes of new sounds, these sound sets are only part of the ongoing XSpand Your World promotion.
