Yamaha MO8 or S90ES ?
« on: April 06, 2008, 01:05:43 AM »
Hey guys...I've kind of been doing some research on the net this week on deciding what synth to buy for our church. I've been reading reviews from users of both models and they are so much in (good) comparison, it's crazy. I know the MO8 is about $500 cheaper than the S90ES, but I heard the MO8 comes really close to the new Motif XS series is presets/sounds.

I know most of y'all probably have these synths, so I wanted to ask what is your opinion, due to the sounds...playability...feel, etc..?

BTW...what does 'aftertouch' really mean? A couple reviews I read said the MO8 don't have aftertouch capabilities. Thanks!

I'd go with the mo8. since it will be used for church , you probaly wont need the extra features (look them up online to compare features)

I have the S90ES and the piano sounds are outstanding. The MO8 doesn't have the additional piano sounds that the S90ES has included. There are other additional sounds that are included in the S90ES that aren't found in the MO8 (various electric, strings, synths, drums, appregios). You can also install the PLG boards for extra sounds on the S90ES, the MO8 doesn't have that feature. For the most part, everything else is about the same. Both sound good.

I have the MO8 as you can see <------------ it is the best keyboard that I've ever had and I've been playing for quite a while. I thought about buying the S90ES too but the price was a little more than I wanted to pay at the time. Either way I don't think that you could go wrong with either board. Stay blessed

I went through the exact same dilemma.  I ended up buying the S90ES.  The piano sounds are the truth!  I didn't need a sequencer on my board.  I'm about to buy logic pro 8 like tomorrow so I'm good.
