The sequencer on the Motif is far from useless. I've seen soooooo many reviews where people buy Motifs, Tritons, and Rolands as their first synths (knowing not a darn thing about them). Then they find because of their lack of experience and knowledge that they can't operate the unit, thus resulting in a poor and negative review from the user. The Fantom, Triton, and Roland are good workstations. All completely different operating systems. You just have to get comfortable with the OS. Yeah the Motif may not be the easiest, but if one takes the time to familiarize themselves with it, they'll find that the navigation isn't really bad. Personally I like the sequencers on the Motif. They're almost identical to the EX series. I thought those were pretty easy to use. When reading reviews keep an eye out for the person who says "this is my first synth", or "I haven't been playing long".
