Yamaha Motif --

1) The presets are all very urban

2) The 'sound' - I dunno what or why, but it just sounds more in your face, more tangable than the other synths mentioned ...dryer, simpler, more hiphop/R&B and less .... whatever .. Yamaha works for me. BTW I also LOVE Roland, but not the new synths - too slick for me - I own quite a few vintage Roland synths and also a Roland JD990 - THAT box has character - Supersound ! - Not hiphop though.

I do like Kurzweil too ... Kurzweil has major attitude & is very very posh -
So it's Motif or Kurz. Some dudes still like to have an MPC on the side, maybe if you're into sampling from vinyl and you're used to it, otherwise I dont see why not just sampling into PT or Logic or whatever you use ...
