In talking with the guys from Spectrasonics, I've learned that they're working on a rtas format for Atmosphere which I will check out when available. I could try the vst wrapper thingamabobber, but it seems like it'd be a lot less hassle just to do it all on one platform I'm sure it can do more than what I heard, but I would think they'd push the thing to it's max for their demo clips.
I'm leaning pretty hard for the triton extreme at this point based mainly on simplicity and that I already know how to navigate through it fairly well. If when I check out the Motif it blows my mind, I may have to rethink my plans, but it sounds like there's as many digging the Triton as there are the Motif es. Are you sure your info is correct? The Extreme 88 is Korg's own sad attempt at a weighted action, apparently.
Joined: Jun First off I won't touch the action debate since so many different factors can affect it. Secondly Jeebus I love your star trek pic. Very original!
While sound is always a matter of preference, I would say the Triton may fill your needs better. The Motif ES does alot in terms of programming and creating specifics by nailing every last detail.
The Triton Extreme doesn't offer quite as much in that department in my opinion. Since you mentioned presets specifically, the Extreme was what I recommended. I personally feel my S90 and Triton LE compliment each other greatly and feel the Motif Es and Triton series provide the same great compliment to each other. Just something else to consider.
Good luck which ever way you go. To be honest no matter which way you go, your going to get a great synth! Sorry I haven't been out to a store yet to confirm, but I'll send an email to one of our guys that has.
Just a couple comments my opinion of course on this thread. It seems that every time this comparison comes up, someone says "Korg for synths and Yamaha's for acoustic sounds". I do think our factory demos are geared more towards the acoustic sounds and do not highlight the synths sounds as much as they should.
I think however that the Motif ES is quite a departure from the original Motif. From the quality and size of the ROM, improved filters and effects to the speed of the envelopes the ES sounds dramatically different from the original Motif. When you first play an ES, its easy to get taken by the acoustic sounds the acoustic guitars, bases, and pianos.
Next time you play an ES just make sure you take some time to go through the Synth, Pads, leads, Musical Effect and Combination categories. We'll be putting together some demos which specifically highlight the synth and pad sounds. I'll keep you posted. Originally posted by Jeebus: Any confirmation on that action, Mike?

Previous Thread. Next Thread. While the Triton is beautifully designed, the Motif will suit you much better. All the motif synths are of HIGH caliber in options, expandability, sound quality, and build - plus often times Korg puts more into the appearance and overall marketing of their products than the actual sound - not to say they don't have great products though - but for your description - go for the yamaha.
If the decision were between the Triton Classic and the Motif, it might be a more even playing field, but as it is, the Motif is the definite winner. Superior expansion options and a keyboard with much better feel are two compelling reasons why the Motif is a better choice. Not to jack the thread, but why the hell are Triton studio's still going for the prices that they are?
I mean really, even if it does come with a cd burner, and other various bells and whistles, what the hell makes it worth so much? I mean, the synth engine only gives you 2 tones per patch, and polyphony isn't that great. And it only comes with just under patches? In my mind, thats one big WTF. Oh, and even though the Motif is probably the best bet, the others did leave out that you can add a MOSS board to the Triton, 6 voices of subtractive synthesis based on Korg's Z1.
On the other hand, you can add three expansion boards to the Motif, among them a board with 5 notes of modelled analog sounds, a board that is essentially a DX-7, and a board that offers Yamaha's VL virtual acoustic synthesis. The Tritons are great for synth sounds and esoteric stuff; the Motifs excel in acoustic emulations, espescially pianos.
Get the Motif first! If I were to get the Motif and the VA expansion vintage analog I'm guessing where would I be able to find it and how much would it cost? Unless you can afford a Motif ES I don't like the LE too much.
It feels much cheaper than the Triton Classic and is not as powerful. Otherwise, if you can afford it, get the Motif ES. It is the most powerful and best sounding wave based synth on the market right now IMHO. It does great Bjork-Radiohead-ish type sounds. It even has a preset called "Icelandic" which sounds alot like a "Homogenic" era Bjork type voice.
Plus you can buy the FM and AN expansion cards to have a very versatile and powerful synth. Anyone who wants a Motif, please do yourself a flavor and spend the little extra to get the ES model.
It sounds SOO freaking good. It's the best sounding rompler I've ever played hands down. I've been using a QS for a few years now just bought a Motif this week ; the Motif sequencer is very similar to the QS, and I have to say that the QS is a piece of cake to use.
Also there are some killer free tutorials on the web, though in all fairness the official Motif user manual isn't bad at all. I have to admit that I've never been a big fan of Korg, but that's my opinion anyway Skunk, do this. Depending on your budget, go for the Triton board itself. Then, go after the Motif Rack for the sounds. The new Motif ES is out and I heard the polyphony is much better on the new board, but I heard it's the same old setup as the first version, and the only people that did'nt complain about the interface are those who owned DX-7's or similar.
Parrot is right on the sounds, they are great, but what are you looking for in terms of voices? I'm more of a vintage Rhodes and B3 person myself, thats why Im getting the Motif rack. So, between re-programming a few sounds and many free downloads, I now have a ton of excellent voices for the Korg. Don't get me wrong, any new board on the market is going to have great preloaded stuff, so good luck on the search. IDEA: If you can, head down to a dealer to try both of them out, then decide.
BE AWARE, that the Motif dealer gave an insentive for the salesperson to sell their board for a good kickback, for example, Guitar Center gave out a free board to those who sold 10, so watch out for the commission rats. My situation is this - i already have a Korg CX-3 , so organ sounds are irrelevant.
My current "do it all" board is a yamaha s While i love the Rhodes and 1 or 2 of the strings, I could really use an 88 key keyboard. I play in 2 different groups, both use electric pianos and piano a lot.
So heavy gig use is a consideration. However, I am just getting into production on computers. I have a little yamah mixer, a crappy mic, and use reason and am trying to figure out what the best route to go recording wise is. THe point is, I'm looking at a Triton le 88 or the Yamaha motif 8. I really can't afford a MOtif ES or any of the other tritons or the new Kurtzweil no matter how great that thing sounds.
I don't really care too much about an onboard sequencer, seeing as i use reason and computer based recording. I have the Triton, Motif and Fantom. Watching my clients leads me to think the sound of hip hop is an MPC something The Triton was king for a couple of years, but when the Motic came out it took over fast. I like the synthy stuff and the sequencer in the Triton.
Maybe the strings as well. Piano, organs, brass, electric keys Motif all the way. I have a Motif and the Triton module Blue May. Fantom XR For me it would be this order 1 Fantom 2 Motif 3 Triton. I have been using mine for 6 months. Only thing it has less outputs than the motif es, and it has no sampling.
