Well as you know I had probably the longest thread in history at MoTown about the Mo o/s and that it need not be so difficult and unintuitive. So no argument here.It's also why I said when the new Fanotm X hits the shelves adios Mo. Even if the X isn't as powerful, I can work with it.

When I used the Mo software to transfer user files back and forth, that was a 3 day ordeal to get it working correctly. The time involved to load the extra voices from the cd on start up is ludicrious. One of the people timed it having all the pianos and extra voices in autoload.....17 minutes for the Mo to start up. Talk about foreplay

Mike,
You're not alone. I had the same experience and finally had to send Phil a pm and ask, "have I done somethng to offend you that you give me answers like you do on the forum?" I don't think it's about being threatened, I think it's more that people get their panties bunched up if you say anything bad about their baby. I don't even bother with that side of the forum anymore. When there is questioning about a board on a forum people get insecure about that, because it says perhaps it wasn't the right decision to buy the board.

Which brings me back to a statement I made in another thread about this.....after the classic and now the ES, there will have to be an entire reevamp of the Motif before I'll ever buy another one.

The same is going to hold true before I upgrade to other future boards, at these prices I am going to expect and demand more or no sale. The board will have to be ready to go out of the box, not what it will be if they do the o/s upgrades too.

AJ, about being OT....it's all good, it's all about music regardless of the boards arrangers/workstations DAW's and soft synths.
