I had considered for the first time recently possibly selling one of the two because I like how my Proteus/EmulatorX VST sounds and I had my eye on another piece of gear and could use a little extra cash.
So when I got off work today I went into my (bedroom) studio and pressed POWER on all my gear. I didn't have a particular melody or song in mind but I just felt like playing something. Ten minutes later I had laid a solid foundation for a song with just the MPC and Motif and at this point I was damn near ready to do a rough mixdown...............
AND STILL NO PROTEUS/EMULATOR X sound module...or DAW as everything was still loading. Even on a good computer it takes about 10 minutes to boot up and load the samples. On standby it takes about half as long but sometimes soundcards/interfaces need re-syncing.
This is just one of a few-but very critical reason-to always have at least one good workstation that you like the sound of and are comfortable on and why we use MPCs-because you dont HAVE to mess with computer sequencers that sometimes give trouble. It's taken many years to wrap my head around what works for me and what doesn't. Still like having software and a DAW but I wouldn't part with the Motif or MPC. PB&J. Period.
So YES-I like the sound of the Motif and MPC...and a 3000 even more though RAM/Sample time/transfer is a bit limited. Another pair of midi outs like a 3000 has would simplify things for me a little but I just use the midi thru-puts on the Motif and Novation to my other 2 modules. But I wouldn't be without Studio One or EMU sounds either.
I hope your using your 3000+Motif for more than just midi control-that would be a bit overkill but I suppose it leaves room to grow ...Peace.  |
Thanks Bro...see...that was a ill thing to say...but I havent used the 3000 to its fullest capabilities because I dont know if I have the correct cord for the SCSI drive...Im just learning and relearning this old and outdated technology...its fun though, but yeah man, I love my ****in setup, its easy!!!! and its killer, Im looking to get racks and a maschine once it becomes compatible with Pro Tools...but I want another keyboard too, a XS6...nasty ass keyboard, but yeah man, what kind of gear do you have?
