Transitioning from Software to Hardware

[Mannas]

I'm finally making the jump from software to hardware. I have the opportunity to get an MO6 used at a good price. Is this a good place to start for a good all around workstation? I've been looking for the Motif sound for a while but havent had the money to get it. I'm thinking of starting with this and then later adding in an MPC as well for sampling and drums. Anybody have any experiences, good or bad with the MO6? There aren't many videos out of it.

I'd probably cop a controller and the motif rack, (which has more sounds than the MO) or try some of the proteus racks. Switching from software to hardware, has it's advantages, but ultimately, it's finding the perfect union of soft/hardware that really compliment your workflow. I'd say cop the mpc first, and then go with a rack. Once your start sequencing w/ the mpc it's no looking back.

I appreciate the help. How do you like your Juno-G? Do you have any beats or anything you've made with it?
