Not my cuppa tea, that particular style, but you have some great sounds working there, excellent quality. I've been a Logic guy for a few years now, and there are some brilliant synths in the Pro bundle. Heck, even GarageBand's "watered-down" versions of Logic instruments smoke through a good sound card and some decent monitors.
I'm afraid I share Nedim's hardware disease though (the-more-hardware-synths-you-can-get-yer-grubby-mitts-on-the-merrier syndrome). Except some of his are cooler than mine, so I gotta look harder and spend more to stay in the game!
Yeah, you pretty much got me pegged me as an old school old guy (I'm 50 now). Softsynths (and Logic in particular) are awesome and I like to use them, but I've always liked having a room full of keyboards all MIDI'd together and bopping around from one to the other like a happy little butterfly, picking up a bit of audio pollen here and dropping a bit there. It's so relaxing and inviting just watching all the pretty lights glowing, flashing, synchronizing, plus when you've got 4 or 5 people over everyone gets in on a piece of the action. As long as you remember to keep the sequencers and DAWs running (and in sync), there's no telling what you might end up with.
The Motif XS' sequencer is much more than a sketchpad to me BTW, it's more like a revelation. The M3's sequencer is not a revelation to me as such, but its roots are firmly planted in good old tried, tested and true soil and makes recording M3 Karma bits as easy as one could hope.
Yeah, I've poked fun at what the M3 can and cannot do, but it is what it is - a unique take on the workstation concept. Now, once they upgrade the ROM with a couple hundred extra MB of decent acoustic sounds, it will be a much more complete instrument, but it is unique, I will say that much.
Us 50 year olds begin to wander after a spell... I'll shut up now
