No problem man, and that's just scratching the surface! Lol. These things are truly powerhouses for studio or gigging use. The best part is that there is accessibility in it, so we can confidently use it. HTH, 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.

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!
