AndrewT Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Okay - here's what happened. So I am in Guitar Center drooling over the DSP sample editing tools on the Motif ES that Stephen Fortner talked about in his review - when the salesperson comes in and says, "Gotta lower the price on the regular S90 - the S90 ES is being recalled for a faulty chip or something". Any truth to this rumor? What's the deal with the faulty chip? Is Yamaha recalling the S90 ES? Drooling over the potential of having 1GB of sample ram in a Motif ES...

Sven Golly Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 A thread about this can be found on the Sninety.com forums . Not sure whether this is true, or a hoax, as I didn't see anything 'official' on any Yamaha sites... but perhaps an existing registered S90ES owner knows for sure?

DanL Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 To me it seems like a scenario that is really highly unlikely to occur- repeated quick power ons/ power offs, sending a sound out the headphone jack, in extreme heat conditions. So if you were outside and your power went off and on a bunch of times really fast and you had headphones on, you might recreate the problem. Me, as soon as I have a power blip, I shut down till it can be fixed. Most of the time its not a blip but a complete outage, when you blow a circuit or something.

MusicaL Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 It's not a hoax. I was at GC yesterday and confirmed that their S90es's have been shipped back to Yamaha. None were on the floor. aL Gear: Yamaha MODX8, Mojo 61, NS2 73, C. Bechstein baby grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Golly Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Thanks for the confirmation, aL... I've seen lots of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) type 'rumours' in the I.T. industry, so always take these sorts of things with a big grain of salt until things are verified by a trusted source.

martin martin Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 When they upgraded my s90 to es due to lack of stock I thought i was lucky! That was 3 weeks ago, the s90 es due in store on the 10/10. Lets hope these new models dont have the faulty chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
