Throw your Fantom Triton Motif out the window.

It takes two seconds to chop a piano sound and create a program. As far as time it takes to dig for that sound, its well worth it.

I guess Ill just do me.

Indeed. Betta get a 6pk of mountain dew.

of course, you have to do what works best for you, we all have our own style. and hopefuly one day we'll get rich off of it. or at the very least make music the whole world will enjoy

Interesting thread.
Throw away a Triton, Motif or Fantom for the MPC's.
They all have full blown samplers that do all the MPC does and more.
Not trying to take away from the MPC, but I would dump my MPC before my Triton, Motif or ASR.
The key thing is still to see the capabilities they all add to the picture and make the most of it.
The true strenght of the MPC's will always be the sequencing, everything else about it is just bonus.
Just remember if you take the time and learn any of the workstations they can be heavy hitters, no doubt.
Also while it may not be a true workstation, that's how most people use the MPC's, so in many setups it's being used just like a Triton, Motif etc.

All this to say what ever you choose just go deep on it and learn the flow of the machine.
If it's right then it's right, and you'll know it's right.

Plus 50,000 ****** wont have the same azz sounds as me.

This statement kills me when I hear people saying that. Synths and modules come with 1,000 sounds these days and people worried about somebody having the same sounds? Like some kid is going to be listing to a song on the radio and say "hey mom, do you hear that? Those strings have the same tonal ambiance and effect as that other song."

People, please put this argument to rest. People still use synths that are 20 years old and use the same sounds that might be on another record. Roland is not going to make one synth for one person so that no one else will have their sounds. Or will they?

Haha! Exactly!

I threw away the Triton but kept the Motif and Fantom. Thanks for the advice
