Need Honest Opinion About Going 2 The 5000 From The 1000

The one with the most toys wins! By using a few sounds off the cassio I can toss in a few things different and unique in there own way. Is you make music and you toss in something different and unique it separates you from the other 90% cookie cutter producers. And motif the best? No no and hell no... Scott torch made his case with. Phantom g6.. phantom> all plus the sample are Damn near mastered right out of the box..zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yea i hear ya. But like I said I have all the Motif sounds saved on my PC so all I have to do is transfer them to my MPC 5K & hook up a midi keyboard so I can have that piano feel for those instruments.

well sounds like you made up your mind... I just dont see an mpc1000, a motif, and several hundred dollars being worth it for a 5k... Try posting a craigslist add asking for a straight trade with no money.... who knows maybe a local 5k user would want to do that trade.

don t expect a 16 layer grand piano...it s still a sampler it takes time to load them big samplegroups...
ido n t really use the keygroups or load big samples into the mpc.im a long time user and im u sing it like all them others...mainly sequencing and chopping and resampling.
and of coarse the synth but thats it.
i use my pc or the motif es rack as a soundmodule...
can t hate on the motif es it s solid rompler with still usable sounds...

^^ You know I thought the same thing about the Motif but Im not gonna lie Im dont like it that much....maybe Im doing something wrong?? Are there more sounds available to download for the Motif? Im I just setting my standarda way too high for the Motif?? I dont know. But what I do know is after almost 3 years of struggling with this thing, Im done with it...But I just wanna know what are u guys doing to make your Motif so great cause I just dont see it.

you have really learned it?
use the editor 4 creating sounds maybe start with sounds that you like and tweak them...it even have the basic waveforms saw,traingle ect ect...
use the arp 4 inspiration...stack sounds..
you can even get cool sounds out of the old korg m1...maybe get a learn dvd for the motif..sudsonic got some!

or maybe your looking for some instant hiphop sounds?get proteus x or better emulator x with the mophatt cd..use your pc as a sound modul...

I mean after almost 3 years of messing with thing Im sure I know it inside and out....know as far as editor I havent messed with that. Ill give u an example of how I use my Motif.....scroll threw sounds and category folders, tweak them however I want, keep scrolling, keep looking, keep tweaking, usually browse all the 16 instrument folders and only 20% I find sounds I like.....and to be honest, 20% is being really generous....I dont mind going threw sounds, but EVERYTIME turn this on, I struggle. EVERYTIME....Talk about a momentum killer, for real.
