The Motif is the first Yamaha keyboard I've owned. Up until then I was strictly a Roland guy. My old D50 finally crapped out and the Motif replaced it. To be honest, I haven't had a lick of trouble with it except for a few keys, when pressed, sound like someone stepping on a candy wrapper - but that's probably from me being a little to rough with it. What sold me on the Motif were the drum sounds.rockstar_not wrote:I think I know the cause. It's your controller - a Motif.
They are evil in my opinion. I believe that they are possessed by demons.
Stephen St. Croix put it best about the Motif in the August 2004 issue of Mix magazine:
"it doesn't do anything in any way that anybody would try to do it... and who wants to argue with their gear to make music, especially when they can't win"
That's been my experience with my Motif. That was one of the most honest reviews I've ever seen in an industry magazine with paid advertisement.
Thank God for www.motifator.com, or else this thing would have been out the window long ago. I listened to it's sounds and they seduced me at the store. I never figured it would be so difficult to actually use.
Perhaps you have already sold your soul to the Devil, and the Motif's demons are reading your mind, or putting notes into your head, as part of the deal.
