Okay..
Off top...not trying to be harsh on the earlier comments, but I did provide some decent info on this last week.
Nuff of that, moving along..Motif sampling....
1.Of course it's breezy...waveform view editing, stock sample rate is 44.1 down to 5k/lo-fi. I actually use the 22k lo-fi for drums and bass and 44.1k for stereo music samples.
2.For this 2 things about Motif that's better than Triton...not only can you adjust both the pitch and fine tempo to fit the sequence, but you can also make patterns in tenths of a BPM....so you can hit 90.2, 90.1, etc. instead of just 90 or 91.
3.In a Motif you can put a separate sample on every key if you want. That can be either drum sounds, or a sample chopped up into pieces. I use UDRs...user drum voices for my sampling purposes.
4.Of course, plenty of stock voices in the Motif, even some of the drums are usable, which is rare IMO.
Auto-chop isn't the best on the Motif compared to say a 2500 or something. But it is easy enough to copy a sample and make separate chop pieces. Also, not known to the doubters and non-believers, the Motif has extensive sample editing just like an MPC. Filters, separate EQ per key, mono or poly mode, you can make keys cancel each other, attack and decay envelopes. Not mention with DIMMs installed you can resample your own samples or preset notes, chords and patterns and make your own samples. I think for sample chopping the Motif is underrated and slept on. My 2 cents..in any case, choose well, there are many great workstation deals out there.
