I recall the Motif uses velocity cross switching to select different samples. Some selection (e.g., of hammer-ons) is done using keys reserved for that purpose. If you have played with Roland's 4-layer scat voice, you will have a sense of how difficult it can be to control velocity. OTOH, in an arpeggio, the Motif-ES can control overall velocity using a slider, which allows precise selection of guitar sounds.
