Question 1

How does this compare to the p-90 Yamaha keyboard, is the action the same?

Accepted Answer

This is more like the Motif. Depending on what are you going to use it for it could be way better.

Question 2

Does it come with a music stand

Accepted Answer

No built-in music stand but we can send one along with it if you like.

Question 3

Works good?

Accepted Answer

This board is awesome. I bought it off of amazon and I've had no problems. The action is wonderful and the sounds on it are great. It sounds natural. Lots of options.

Question 4

I just really want to know that if I get this one (because I can't afford the Motif XF 8) I am getting the same "package" sounds etc.? Please advise.

Accepted Answer

It has many (but not all) of the same sounds as the XS8.  With that said, it has the capabilities to make nearly all the sounds of the XS8.  Significantly (and a huge improvement over the original S90), it has 4 individual arpeggiators per performance (the MO8 and ES8 and original Motif and S90 only had one arpeggiator per performance).  While the S90XS does not have all of the same sounds as the MOTIF XS8 (which is a bummer because I miss some of the complex pads on the XS8), it DOES have some pretty significant piano voices that were not on the XS8 (not sure about the XF8).  I believe the file type between the XS90 and the XS8 are different, otherwise you could probably load a library from the XS8 onto the S90XS (I have admittedly not explored this any further than a potential theory, but it may be worth reading a manual for the S90XS which you can download from www.yamahasynth.com.  Hope that helps!
