Now I want something around the 800-1300 range. I've heard JUNO G is good, but I want the big name workstation (Motif, Fantom, Triton). The ones i like are the Fantom XA, Triton Tr 61, MO6, Motif 6, Motif ES6. Now I know the TR61 needs a sampling board upgrade and the MO6 can not sample. This is correct yes? My question is when they say no sampling does that mean I can't load sounds and map across the keybed? Can i do that without sampling, If so I know which board to get. Oh and what would you recommend to a first time buyer? I'm going to be producing jazz/ambient/rap instrumentals. I've never used a workstation. I will also be using a midi axiom 49 for computer along with the korg padkontrol. I want separate boards for everything cuz you get bored sometimes making beats on the computer and you get sidetracked due to places like mpc-forums :D. So what do you guys recommend. Oh the price cannot be more than 1300 I'm 14 and I'm using stock money so I need to buy a computer also which will set me back 1500 with all necessities (software,cables,media,etc.). What are the differences between the motif 6, mo6, motif es 6, and the motif sx6 (WTF!!!)?

well that should give u a good idea. most ppl preferred the fantom x. so if i were u, i would go out to the stores try out those 5 or so workstations and then make ur pick from there.
