If you don't order this you are missing out. It is even better than described. As a previous reviewer stated it is worth way more than what you pay.

This set of classic sounds is really great. I love classic synths but hate dealing with them. I honestly have not needed to use any of my older synths since buying this collection.
I think it is a must for any Motif owner - if I lost the files somehow, I would buy this collect again.

One of the reviews mentioned that if you can`t hear the rhodes sounds in this volume you don`t know what one sounds like, so true, great job.

If u don't find the fender rhodes sound that you want here, then you just don't know what one sounds like. The synth sounds are alive with resonance and depth, very thick yet easily put into a mix just the synths of old; if you're a vintage rhodes/analog synth fan, yamaha knocked this one out of the ball park Damn!

So, so cool. Yamaha went overtime doing the programming for this one. Every subtle little nuance that the Rhodes could ever produce will come through with this library, Touch, aftertouch, crappy-cool analog distortions, weird little sub-tones from the tines, different surfaces that were added to the hammers (felt, laquer, neoprene) are all included. Ultimately, a lot of the patches sound pretty similar because the Rhodes was an analog instrument. But Yahama's programming carefully reproduces just about every variation one could derive from the original instrument. The tones are extremely faithful reproductions rather than merely passable copies. If you pine for the old days, from Rod Stewart and Faces (one of the patches is "Faces!). Steely Dan, Chick Corea/Return To Forever, Supertramp and more, this is the library for you. The cherry on the cake is more patches, some really good minimoog stuff, a BITCHIN' Taurus bass, some Wurli's, a few Oberheims and Jupiter 8's, a little DX7 & CP80 and a few REALLY usable Hohner clavinets, all very faithfully reproduced.
Toss in the fact that you can load the voices into Performance mode and edit just like any other voice. This library is worth way more than what I paid for it.
I'm using it on my humble MO 6. It's really fulfilled my longing for vintage e-piano sounds.
Way ta go, Yamaha, U guys rock.
