  "description": "Source-specific existing-schema instrument owner retains the documented Motif XF8 sampled-piano mechanism without substituting acoustic strings, analog synthesis, sequenced accompaniment or an unknown-architecture keyboard. Hardware facts from Yamaha; piano-patch use from Ron and Russell Mael interview. Neutral numerical routing axes and chordal realization are authored. No shared family or old owner is edited.",
