Hey D!J!X! Sounds like that Motif's a pretty powerful instrument. I was considering one, but right now it's the money thing; and that's a little sparse at the moment. At least you've got some accessibility to it. Thanks for sharing that as I was wondering how flexible it was for doing this stuff. Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: D!J!X!

I normally record 16 bars or 32 bar tracks depending on the length of the verse/chorus, and add custom breaks that I can switch to when I want. With the newer motifs, you can load some better sounding drums than the motif has (if you don't like them) and have a really convincing track! I do this at church every week! HTH, D!J!X!
