See Prior Review Overall Your general opinion of this product. ADENDUM: The mLan interface noted in the video and the instruction manual HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. It has not been available since approximately 2006. However, a check of Yamaha's website shows that the same interface has basically been rebranded as the FW16E and is, per the same website, compatible with the Motif Rack XS. If you type "Yamaha FW16E" into American Musical's search window the product comes up, but it only lists it as compatible with the newer Motif XF. But it is the same interface as the prior-named mLan16E and, again, IS compatible with the Motif Rack XS per Yamaha's website. Value Was this item an overall good value? See Prior Review

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It's in the rack and it will stay there in my studio. It is somewhat heavy. Pushing the buttons didn't feel like anything cheap. Feels well made. Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? The sounds, their ability to be tweaked, and the overall ease of use. Ease of Use How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? It is super simple to use. I pretty much started going through the menus without even looking at the manual. The only thing I went to manual for was how to set the additional outs. Ironically, the very page to go to was found in the beginning where it's telling what the different buttons are for. I figured out everything else. If you have other equipment this will be a breeze. If not, please read the manual. I did after a few days and found it to be very simple and informative even though I figured it out. Sound How is the tone? The sounds are really good. The fact that you can easily edit them is even better. It is easy to create your own sounds with this. Value Was this item an overall good value? Definitely a good value. I have the sampled "sounds" of the motif but there is nothing like the real thing.
