Motif xs compared to sound library

[Magnum29465]

Are there any sound libraries that can compare to the motif musically? Like I said in another thread I recently experienced the difference between the motif and goliath and was blown away. is goliath just crappy or are libraries in general not comparable to hardware?

do you played goliath yet ? there are some useful stuff in there.

I have both Motif XS and Colossus (pre-Goliath) : the Motif sounds more finished and 'produced' than Colossus, but I think you can make Colossus sound better if you treat the sounds like if they were real instruments, compress and equalize them and put a nice reverb on it. I think the fx section in the Motif comes from the SPX2000, which sounds quite nice IMO.

There are more produced-sounding libs arround (more specialized though) : Welcome to Bela D Media.com , Sample Logic , but you'll need NI Kontakt. You'll also find a produced sound in Nexus :reFX - Home , not only for 'dance' sounds like most people think!

Maybe thats my issue. I expect Goliath to sound good out of the box. Didnt even think it needs initial processing...
