A lot of the sounds sound the same as the motif... But some are alot different. My guess is that the old samples from HyperSonic 1, developed by Wizoo, are different, and have a more Korgy sound, but the new Hypersonic 2 samples are very simular to the Motif, Hypersonic 2 was realeased a long time after version 1, and people were getting tired of waiting for a new version, so my guess is that Yamaha after aquirering steinberg helped in the development of Hypersonic 2. There are alot of simular functions to the motif, phrase arpeggiator and phrase library for instance, the editing modes and insert effects are very yamaha.
