the Motif has been the best synth-workstation of the last few years. If only had an arranger like on the PSR keyboards....

the 'intelligent arpeggios' are kind of like on the3 QY700...we don't want to work with 'patterns', I like arrangers because you can put togheter a complete arrangement in no time.

Also, I see this integration between the Motif and the freaking computer stuff (Cubase etc) as clutter. If I wanted to use a PC, I'd use one.

The Motif should have everything needed as a totally independent instrument, I personally really came to hate computers after years of struggling on them as a musician. Too many options and too many useless things and too hard a learning route, I am busy enough practicing and composing.

But yes, the Motif XF might be the best synth-workstation. Just not the best arranger, unfortunately.

Look at the sequencer in the Tyros...it's very simple too use but underpowered for that kind of money, they should put some of the Motif features on the Tyros
