anyone notice how good a yamaha sales rep can make those things sound at namm..
its amazing. i think a great player can make any board sound awesome.
me... not so much |
Cheers to that.. besides the HORRIBLE programming interface of the motif -rack- (and almost every other every yamaha... anyone have a FS1R
) I've been muti-timbral'ing for years on my virus and roland 1080 for years, but when it comes to the motif, it's strictly play-midi- and bounce to audio.
FWIW the motif, as mentioned is very real, and cut's through beautifully. Never thin or flat. For best results, i run it through api 512 pre's and an avalon 747 for overall EQ and slight comp. The built in FX on the Motif are your friend, but maybe adjust the reverbs/delays to suit the track. Also, sometimes, the built in FX tend to overload/distort on some patches, so watch for that. other than that, I don't think the motif is a bad rompler at all, infact, its prob. one of the best i've heard.
best of luck
