The thing that strikes me about Yamaha synths from that era is that they
were quite buggy. There is something to be said for stuff that actually
*works*. You have an EX5, you know what I'm talking about. Beautiful
machine, but severely flawed.

The newest Motifs have a Linux-based operating system and you can
actually download the source code of your synth.
