How good is the sequencer? What is its note capacity? Polyphony on
this particular unit is...? I can probably look into those things
myself. But it's not just DX7 sounds I'm after. I want a workstation
and a pretty advanced machine to do sequences with to use as backing
tracks (for practice or composition), and so on. The Motif line has
fantastic drum sounds, basses, and on and on and on.
On the other hand, they probably will be blowing out the regular
("classic") Motif 6s now. Prices have already been cut $300. But I'm
of two minds about buying something that is on its way out
technologically speaking. On the one hand, you can save some cash.
But in the long run, is it worth it? Just like buying computers, it's
often a good idea to buy more than you need at the time of purchase,
since a year or two down the road it'll be obsolete anyway. That
doesn't mean your machine won't still be very good--it will. But it
might (?) make sense to spend more for all the extra bells and
whistles you may not think you need right away, but perhaps will
become part of your repertoire down the road.
