I have both S90ES, S90XS and MOTIF XF8. I bought all of them thru Craigslist and Ebay, with an intention to test all of them for few month, to decide on just ONE to keep. Here's my decision now. I sold S90XS already. I like XF8 but no need to have two 88 keyboards, so I'll be selling that too. Then I'll look for a XF6. S90ES is a keeper. I keep all my gears in top shape, and I know how to fix keys and electronic boards on Yamaha ES-XS architecture. It's getting incredibly difficult to find a nice clean used S90ES.... they are being hoarded!!!!
Never thought that some Yamaha keyboards are better than Kurzweil keyboards specially S90es, I bought it few month ego and its wonderful for everything, unbelievable that it has everything for Live and Midi Remote also ❤️ + key beds are Amazingly realistic, I have tried every midi keyboard in the past all went to the Garbage
The S90ES has the best piano sound... PERIOD! Bright, sparkly, full, and dynamic. That keyboard's piano sound still stands the test of time and in my opinion is better than the XS by a mile. Too bad it's about the size of a small boat as otherwise that would be my choice hands down even now in 2016.
The Yamaha S90ES wins hands down for mehere and against all acoustic piano voices delivered with any synth I've heard. The sampling engineers, microphone selection and placement all impact the sound, even more than the newer circuitry. As people get promoted and voices are resampled for next generation models there is much that can change for the better or worse. This proves new is not always better.
+Tom Halbouty It's True!!! The S80 (1999), the S90 (2002) and the S90 ES (2005) all featured a recreation of a Yamaha S700 hand-crafted acoustic grand piano as its principal piano - it, like the Power Grand from the original Motif (2001), quickly became a favorite Voice among musicians. When the Voice architecture of the engine went from 4 Elements (Waveforms) per Voice to 8 Elements (when we transitioned from the ES series to the XS series) new data was created. The additional Elements allowed for more nuance and detail within each Voice... So all new pianos were done (of course, this means some folks would be disappointed because their favorite Voice might not be included in the next model). We heard much about this at Yamaha... The solution is the Motif-series and it's customizable Wave ROM... A version of the beloved S700 from the S90 ES was created to be loaded into the Motif XS - enhanced to include the extra nuances now available with 8 Elements. The Motif XS had an option to add sample RAM. You had to load your custom data each time you powered up (samples being in volatile memory). The Motif XF takes this customizable Wave ROM to the next logical point where the Flash Board retains your custom Wave data between power cycles. This allows musicians on tour, for example, to simply take their Flash Boards and a USB stick containing their library with them on the road.
+Tom Halbouty I agree with you. The new is not always the best . S90ES uses a waveform of the famous Yamaha piano S700 while S90XS uses a waveform of the floor Yamaha S6 and CFIII but with a sample not as great as in S90ES .

I so agree... It must be the mike placement and other factors that you have described. It's way better sounding than the XS piano sounds but sadly I just could not fit the ES in my car lol... that keyboard has the best piano sound and holds up against most, if not all, keyboards in it's class even in 2016.
Il natural dell'S90ES è fantastico,l'ho avuta e la conosco molto bene.Ha un suono vellutato dolce e uniforme ma nelle ottave alte peccava un pò di personalità.Il rumore dei martelletti era inesistente.Il piano della nuova S90XS che ho attualmente è diverso ma nella parte centrale e nelle note alte è molto divertente e realistica.

So why do you think the XS piano sound took such a step back? Did the engineers lose sight of the forest through the trees?? Yes you can load your own samples but really you should't need to pay additional money to make the piano sound as good as the older model.

@@benjahnzit also just comes with more sounds. i have one, imo it can be compared more to a synthesizer than a keyboard try to sound like a piano like the es; they’re very different.
Es una canción creada sólo para probar el sonido de los teclados. no es la música de un compositor. Si desea que le envíe el archivo MIDI para ver las notas y se puede imprimir la partitura.
+redflare100 The S90XS has the same sounds of S90ES and many more. In addition it has several insert effects Vintage to be used for each entry type Rhodes, wah wah, etc
Sono d'accordo con te. Devo dire che il suono natural s della S90ES è molto delicato. Però io che le ho avute tutte e due, anche i suoni dalla S90XS hanno dalla loro parte più nervo e più realismo sia sulle note alte che sulle note basse. Il suono dei martelletti, il rumore del rilascio dei tasti è molto realistico, cosa che sulla S90ES non esiste.
Gianluca Farina I think I would be happy with either one of them :) WIsh I knew how they sound compared to the CP4 and P155. I had the CP4 and did not like the sound. To me it was way over sampled...

In casa lo amplifico con un impianto Hi-fi con casse di legno.Nei locali una cassa amplificata Ecler Verso 10P. Qualità audio assicurata e il suono del piano risulta corposo, pieno e sopratutto naturale.
Al primo impatto confrontando il suono del S90ES potrebbe apparire, più gommoso, meno naturale, ma vi garantisco che usandolo un pò più a fondo, se ne apprezzano le più ampie sfumature timbriche, ottenibili nlle esecuzioni. Io li ho avuti entrambi e dopo un paio di mesi di prove riconosco che la Yamaha con S90XS ha prodotto un bel gioiellino.

Try downloading the file "VoicePianoUser1" from my site and try to play the piano made by me S90XS Natural. gianlucafarina.xoom.it/virgiliowizard/yamaha-s90xs
the s90es didn't sound better only louder. If you listen at the same volume they sound exactly the same. convert this video to your daw, see the wav image if you don't believe me. the 90es was recorded LOUDER that's why it perceive better but its not.
Thanks for your comment. Actually the sound of the S90ES and S90XS are very different. It's not a recording volume issue. Yamaha used different acoustic pianos when recording Wave. I have both Synths in my studio and I guarantee you that the piano tones are very different.
Trovo decisamente migliore il piano "natural" dell'S90 Es il discorso sui martelletti acuti secondo me non bilancia la scelta a favore di Xs peraltro molto "copiato" dai piani Roland RD. Uso ancora in concerto (non sempre) S90 es che per certi versi trovo MIGLIORE dell' MP10 KAWAI che alterno in live.Preciso che vengo da studi fatti in Conservatorio su pianoforti acustici coda-gran coda ed il pianoforte è stato il mio studio principale.

The S90 and S90ES and EX are horrible... Come on guys, please don't tell me you like that TIN-EY holly sound. Go play a Steinway and Sons or Electro 3 or NORD Piano 3 and then go play this piece of junk. I hate this keyboard...
Everything is subjective. Even your comments on S90ES is rubbish. The Yamaha S90ES is one of the keyboards with the sound better plan and is still used by many professionals Real for its unique sound characteristics derived from the famous Yamaha piano S700. Even in constructive and technological level is a keyboard of high-end. Ymaha S90ES and Nordstage are both excellent keyboards with different sounds and different characteristics. Some I like more and others less.
This why nearly every pro player you see still plays an S90es. I think you posted this comment just for attention. The Nord is great for organ and clav. And in 2020 their piano sounds are stellar. The action however is less playable than the Yamaha action. Chic corea, Jeff lorber, Gino vanelli, and on and on play this Instrument to this day. Yamaha had just the right combination of engineering both mechanical and sonically with the s90es. Pros from 2005 to the present search for this keyboard for its magic. This is not hype, it’s fact. By the way I own a stage 3 and an electro 6 a cp4 a moxf6 and 8. And guess what I go to every time I want to sit and play and feel like I’m being inspired by a piano sound. Yes the S90es is still the king of the go to piano sound. The Rhodes and other “cover tune” sounds are still good to this day. If you come across one buy it. You won’t be disappointed. Peace young man.

A version of the beloved S700 from the S90 ES was created to be loaded into the Motif XS - enhanced to include the extra nuances now available with 8 Elements. The Motif XS had an option to add sample RAM. You had to load your custom data each time you powered up (samples being in volatile memory). The Motif XF takes this customizable Wave ROM to the next logical point where the Flash Board retains your custom Wave data between power cycles. This allows musicians on tour, for example, to simply take their Flash Boards and a USB stick containing their library with them on the road.
So why do you think the XS piano sound took such a step back? Did the engineers lose sight of the forest through the trees?? Yes you can load your own samples but really you should't need to pay additional money to make the piano sound as good as the older model.

@@benjahnzit also just comes with more sounds. i have one, imo it can be compared more to a synthesizer than a keyboard try to sound like a piano like the es; they’re very different.
S90es sem nenhuma dúvida o melhor
I agree, I bought the XS thinking it would be a step up and I was disappointed. Anybody want to buy an 70 xs for a good deal?
S90ES wins 😊
i would but tell me why you want to trade i love my es 7 but i need weighted keys whats wrong with the 70xs
What's the difference btw S70/90 compared to MOX6/X8? I know both use the Motif XS sounds and are lower end/cheaper
S90es better keyboard for sure! better build,looks more proffesional...the weighted keys are better too!and sounds better too...
S90ES has much better natural piano...I own a S90ES...trust me!!!!! :)
Es una canción creada sólo para probar el sonido de los teclados. no es la música de un compositor. Si desea que le envíe el archivo MIDI para ver las notas y se puede imprimir la partitura.
Hey necesito ese MiDi por favor
+Piano4you Send me your mail...
Ramonasiel@hotmail.com thanks man.
ramonasiel@hotmail.com
Por favor si me puedes Enviar el midi amigo dj.aguila.romero@gmail.com te lo agradezco mucho
Volumes are different so makes same and compare it again
Since they do not make the S90s anymore, would you say the MOXF8 is just as good if not better?
The S90ES feel puts the moxf8 to shame look on reverb for a s90ES
No es una canción sino una prueba de composición
Hi there! I was wondering if the Yamaha S90XS has a rhodes or "vintage case" effect like the Yamaha S90ES? Thanks.
+redflare100 The S90XS has the same sounds of S90ES and many more. In addition it has several insert effects Vintage to be used for each entry type Rhodes, wah wah, etc
it does and i use it all the time😂
Jep, you got damn right!!
Sono d'accordo con te. Devo dire che il suono natural s della S90ES è molto delicato. Però io che le ho avute tutte e due, anche i suoni dalla S90XS hanno dalla loro parte più nervo e più realismo sia sulle note alte che sulle note basse.
Il suono dei martelletti, il rumore del rilascio dei tasti è molto realistico, cosa che sulla S90ES non esiste.
I like piano natural XS
Agreed.
The ES sounds brighter...could be an eq issue
Credo che la differenza di suono sia la "pastosità" del suono. la ES è più "metallica" mentre la XS è più " legnosa" ma ugualmente brillante.
Gianluca Farina I think I would be happy with either one of them :) WIsh I knew how they sound compared to the CP4 and P155. I had the CP4 and did not like the sound. To me it was way over sampled...

It's True!!! The S80 (1999), the S90 (2002) and the S90 ES (2005) all featured a recreation of a Yamaha S700 hand-crafted acoustic grand piano as its principal piano - it, like the Power Grand from the original Motif (2001), quickly became a favorite Voice among musicians. When the Voice architecture of the engine went from 4 Elements (Waveforms) per Voice to 8 Elements (when we transitioned from the ES series to the XS series) new data was created. The additional Elements allowed for more nuance and detail within each Voice...

The thing that urks me is they only offer one piano sample with no card slots or anything, who thunk that one up?
i have a es7 why do you want to trade
Lástima que el Motif XF no tenga este piano, S700.
Es una pena, pero puedes importarlo de las librerías de Yamaha.
Contenido en el 40º paquete de bibliotecas de Yamaha.
Claro jeje se le puede poner con la librería Inspiration in a Flash
S90ES é muito mais bonito :D
In casa lo amplifico con un impianto Hi-fi con casse di legno.Nei locali una cassa amplificata Ecler Verso 10P. Qualità audio assicurata e il suono del piano risulta corposo, pieno e sopratutto naturale.
S90 es parfait
features yea but everybody knows when it comes to the show - its the quality of sound that is the bottom line.
i like..............yamaha
Very good keyboard for it’s time still cuts through all styles of music.
The ES piano sound is nice, but it sounds TOO full for my taste. XS has a better balance.
alguien sabe el nombre de las canciones?
No es una canción sino una prueba de composición demostrativa
Al primo impatto confrontando il suono del S90ES potrebbe apparire, più gommoso, meno naturale, ma vi garantisco che usandolo un pò più a fondo, se ne apprezzano le più ampie sfumature timbriche, ottenibili nlle esecuzioni. Io li ho avuti entrambi e dopo un paio di mesi di prove riconosco che la Yamaha con S90XS ha prodotto un bel gioiellino.
squatter how much?

I still think the NATURAL S voice on the yamaha s90es blows away the s90xs
S90 Es is much better in a lot of things
Anybody want to trade their ES for my 70xs?
Lol
grande piano
STO' PREPARANDO UN BANCO DI SUONI TUTTI SOLO DI PIANO CON VOICE DI TASTIERE YAMAHA nUOVI SUONI TIPO " NATURAL S, S700, ST00 BRITE, DARK PIANO PIANO DX7II" ED ALTRI. SE SIETE INTERESSATI COMMENTANTE E VISITATE IL LINK AL MIO SITO.GRAZIE
S90 ES best sound... Mejor el S90 ES en calidad del sonido
Try downloading the file "VoicePianoUser1" from my site and try to play the piano made by me S90XS Natural.

S90XS. Why? 'cause it's more realistic.
the s90es didn't sound better only louder. If you listen at the same volume they sound exactly the same. convert this video to your daw, see the wav image if you don't believe me. the 90es was recorded LOUDER that's why it perceive better but its not.
Thanks for your comment. Actually the sound of the S90ES and S90XS are very different. It's not a recording volume issue. Yamaha used different acoustic pianos when recording Wave. I have both Synths in my studio and I guarantee you that the piano tones are very different.
Trovo decisamente migliore il piano "natural" dell'S90 Es il discorso sui martelletti acuti secondo me non bilancia la scelta a favore di Xs peraltro molto "copiato" dai piani Roland RD. Uso ancora in concerto (non sempre) S90 es che per certi versi trovo MIGLIORE dell' MP10 KAWAI che alterno in live.Preciso che vengo da studi fatti in Conservatorio su pianoforti acustici coda-gran coda ed il pianoforte è stato il mio studio principale.

The Yamaha S90XS has MORE features than the S90ES.
like what?
@@soilsminor4715 ikr Lol
XS sounds fake and plastic. Never really liked the sounds tbh.
The S90 and S90ES and EX are horrible... Come on guys, please don't tell me you like that TIN-EY holly sound. Go play a Steinway and Sons or Electro 3 or NORD Piano 3 and then go play this piece of junk. I hate this keyboard...
Everything is subjective. Even your comments on S90ES is rubbish. The Yamaha S90ES is one of the keyboards with the sound better plan and is still used by many professionals Real for its unique sound characteristics derived from the famous Yamaha piano S700. Even in constructive and technological level is a keyboard of high-end. Ymaha S90ES and Nordstage are both excellent keyboards with different sounds and different characteristics. Some I like more and others less.
This why nearly every pro player you see still plays an S90es. I think you posted this comment just for attention. The Nord is great for organ and clav. And in 2020 their piano sounds are stellar. The action however is less playable than the Yamaha action. Chic corea, Jeff lorber, Gino vanelli, and on and on play this Instrument to this day. Yamaha had just the right combination of engineering both mechanical and sonically with the s90es. Pros from 2005 to the present search for this keyboard for its magic. This is not hype, it’s fact. By the way I own a stage 3 and an electro 6 a cp4 a moxf6 and 8. And guess what I go to every time I want to sit and play and feel like I’m being inspired by a piano sound. Yes the S90es is still the king of the go to piano sound. The Rhodes and other “cover tune” sounds are still good to this day. If you come across one buy it. You won’t be disappointed.
Peace young man.
