sh*t I could make bangas on the Motif all day long. I could also make em on reason if I really wanted to. But as far as work flow, ease of use, options, tools, practicality, Support and the overall feel.... the 1000 makes the most sense for me. Now if a 500 works for you so be it but I rather leave em on the shelf. THATS why I say its best to test it out in a store as well as hear opinions. Everybody saying "look look I did this on a 500" and thats not the point. If you could get the same result with less of a headache then thats increasing PRODUCTIVITY....seems like some cats are arguing about CREATIVITY which NO piece of gear can magically give you. Moving right along.
it's like, u look a heads back in the day like dj premier on the mpc60 and pete rock on the sp1200, i mean the samplers back then was trash compared to wuts out now and u wonder how they did wut they did. fuggin, u see madlib do half his joints on the boss sp303 wit barely any sampling time but look how he freak his sht. my point is, i'm sure the 1000 or the 2500 may have more options or a different workflow than the 500 but at the same time that don't mean that you need all that to do what you gotta do. it's like u wonder how the pioneers even made beats without a 2500 or a 1000.
and it's like, u wonderin why heads is like, 'look what i made on the 500'? i mean i kicked my first post off wit a beat cuz most of the heads i see on most forums is just str8 talk. like i ain't heard none of they sht but they talkin all pro like they done did it all. so to me it was jus like, lemme kick my sht and let u decide for yourself. if u feel it, then good, if not, then so be it.
and the whole vibe i'm gettin from you is just wack dawg, like u on some mormin type sht tryin to convert people away from the 500 like it's some type of forbidden voodoo in the production world. but i mean i could care less honestly, i actually love it when people hate on the 500 cuz i ain't want people bitin my gear anyway. it's like when it comes down to it, whether you got the 2500 1000 or the 9999999xb special edition xl penis up your butthole, imma still make hotter sht than you.
