«  I MADE THE CON! »

For the characteristics I leave you to read the reviews and see datasheet

Aesthetically I saw it every time in the studio ... It looked like a war machine! And its design reflects the machine ... it's a real beast. In terms of features it is quite full for a machine of the 2000s.

UTILIZATION

At the use of Motif ES6 for those who start I recommend to help you with tutorials available on fan sites the reason for the record and a real textbook. That said, there leaning a little one can see that in fact the design is very well thought out. The work parterns and sequencing keys is really a over sequencers Korg example. and even if there is no touch screen everything is simplified and accurate especially especially when its built piece by loops.
For memory there has what it takes to work, however it is volatile

Editing sounds and effects requires some adaptation, software for editing pattern on his PC is full ... I advise you to go through it and save it all in the pattern.

SOUNDS

Move to serious things ... sounds:
Love it or dislikes they are of very high quality, varied, drum kits its really not bad. I think all those who have or have had patterns will tell you that the effects are terrible and arpeggios and even when their compositions of samples are blind, there is always a certain harmony and few saturations. One can search by category and sounds there is plenty to do and all styles of music "connected" not to the tea dance with all the respect I have for this discipline. I even recommend the RE-order for all those who are hip hop Rnb for example, a famous scott storch did not use it for anything!
Go if I want to quibble I would say that pianos are not the best but can add an optional card, the only interesting way, can fix it even if I have subsequently bought a digital piano because not means to the Motif ES8.
Finally touch is precise and pleasant ... not like semi-weighted keys that is rotten to the 61 keys now.

OVERALL OPINION

as you can read in the title I made the CON! I actually need to have a digital piano 88 keys piano hit and I sold (oh the crime!), That's for anecdote! In my defense I would say it was a mistake of youth, inexperience.
Since I tested quite worstation, Korg Trinity, Triton, M5O, M3, MOX6 (which is a pattern less) or core KROME, I have not tested the series of Roland G6, 7 which are some rare and expensive yet even Cygnus, GI juno Camelott it's a little short ... all that to say that when we want a first workstation to make good sound, that too in tune ... to have a little experience and perspective there is no reference 36 is looking for a Triton extreme or rather we take a pattern MO, ES, XF ... from 400th can find happiness.

AND IF ONE DAY ... You wake up and want to sell it .. "smack your head" in a story wall that it passes ... and complete the rather with another bike ... and for those who don ' have no place will see the opinions of the MOTIF RACK ES and XF ... well today I save a little to buy a Motif ES6 or an XF ...
