How are the string sounds on the motif ES I know the acoustics are tight but what about the strings i heard the strings sucked on the motif but what about the ES.

Also does it come with the individual outs or do you have to buy an extra expansion board like on the motif.

I have the original Motif, and though I'd rather have Triton strings, i don't really complain about the strings on the Motif... if you know how 2 work em then you should be fairly satisfied... the ES is a mad step up in game though..... haven't tested the strings, but I know the guitar sounds and arpeggios are off the **** hook

i got the Motif 7 and can tell you the strings don't suck
they could be better, of course (i think any keyboard sounds / samples have room for improvement)

also, i was under impression the Motif ES / Classic have the same engine
but the difference is the Motif ES just has more sounds and drum kits available. (Guitar Center sales rep that was assisting me day of purchase)

basically they sound alike (this is what i heard, literally)

when i played with the ES myself i could not hear a difference
that would make me pay almost a grand extra

(maybe someone else has had the oppurtunity to have the ES / Classic side by side at the studio to do extensive research)

but in general the ES / Classic sound just alike to me
