Triton Owner:there are so many options with this machine...i think the effects in this machines crushes the motif...but i think the onboard sound crush those in the triton...don't sleep though....the editing features in the triton outweighs the editing features in the motif(you cannot edit the onboard memory sounds)....when the neptunes sound like they are playing live instruments they are using the motif...swizz uses this on his newer productions.....on dre 2001...the triton was the main keyboard used......timbaland's main keyboard is the triton......but it is not about who uses what i am just giving you examples of the capabilities of these machines....both heavy hitters......hard decision for triton users to switch up they might wanna add-on though......but if you have neither one you might wanna start out with what everybody is calling the top dog RIGHT NOW(mpc 4k and motif)......good luck homie

mpc2kxl, triton and asr10 owner here. triton effects will crush motif as said before, motif will crush triton with onboard sound and no effects runnin.. editing goes to triton. millions of buttons goes to the motif. I used the motif alot at my boys crib and it like a supercharged ASR10.. If I had to do the synth all over again I will still do the triton though.. I would probably glance over at the motif before I purchase cause I know the motif's onboard sound quality is out this world though..

Get the triton keyboard. Sample the motif drums or get the rack version. I actually have a MPC 2000xl, the triton rack and the motif rack with a midi keyboard. I also use a friends 76 key motif too and I agree with the above mentioned opinions on the pluses and minuses of both synths.

I own the Motif but I use the Triton every once in a while too. Me and my production partner don't really use the onboard fx of either of these units(we add fx in Pro Tools) so I can't speak on which I think is better in that matter but other than that I agree with most of what everyone else here said, especially the Motif sounds, they're amazing! Also, the Motif patches CAN be edited, not to mention you can create your own voices using the 85mb wav rom in the Motif. I'm not sure if the Triton has deeper editing functions but you can definitely tweak every sound in the Motif. The Motif sampling funtions are nothing to sneeze at either. If you don't need the other functions of the Motif(sampler,sequencer,keys) then I'd definitely go with the Motif rack. In addition to all the patches and fx from the Motif you get three new banks of patches to boot. Bottom line is you can't go wrong with any of these beautiful machines, especially when you got the MPC bringing it all together.

The yamaha S-90 is basically a motif without the sampler/sequencer. This is what I bought, and I have all the motif sounds, plus a 3 layer piano not fopund in the motif. The sounds are amazing. I personally don't do a whole lot of sound editing on the keyboard.. I may adjust the filters, or run it through an effect on my mixing board, but that's about it. My main production is done on the MPC.. I even sample the drum sounds into the MP instead of assigning a midi channel to a small sound. I used the triton for about 6 months.. it's a nice keyboard, but since I sampled all the drum sounds, I don't need one anymore..my S-90 got me covered! You can get one for $1799 at guitar center..88 full weighted keys version of a motif, but only with the stuff you need.
