triton or motif, which one would you prefer
for latin and oriental music ???

or is there any other one for this kind of music ???
 
the future loops construction expansion for the triton has some good latin drum loops on it. But I dont know if its worth paying 3000 bucks just because of it...
 
In the end, these are two very similar keyboards and it is just a matter of preference. They both do about the same things and fall into the same category.

To decide you should listen to both and see which one has the type of sounds you would like to have. Then check out, as best as you can, how they function and see which system you like best. This is very hard to do since you need time to learn the systems before you can tell the difference.

I would suggest figuring out what you will want to do with the keyboard. For instance, do you plan to do alot of sampling, will you use the sequencer often, will you use it with an outboard sequencer, which one, and what other equipment.

Then ask around about how these functions work and get a feel for which keyboard is more suitable. That is about all you can do.
 
Well to assist you in your choice here is my experience.

I purchased a Triton LE 76 for my wife to write on. She has been using a Roland E 500 which was an awesome keyboard in its day, but is now a little long in the tooth.

We had the Triton for about 10 weeks, and during this time did not successfully manage to utilise the sequencer or to fins any nice sounds that suited the style she was writing in (country, pop, ballads, etc). We had many nights of tears, many posts on various Triton forums to try getting help and the manual from HELL was of no real use.

I managed to find a store here who would exchange this monster for a Motif 6 and what a difference it has been.

The sounds are awesome, the sequencer is logical, we now have the added benefit of sampling, and although my wife is still learning how to use this properly, there are no longer nights full of tears and she is managing to write and be inspired once again.

The Motif forums on the net are great, providing much usefull information.

In my opinion (and mine only) I would steer clear of the Triton and go the Motif. You will have to go listen and play with both to make your own decision. I think the Triton may have been great in a live situation, but as we are recording 99% of the time the Motif for us was a far better choice.

Well, the Triton Le is the "mini" triton, because it is a stripped down version of the real triton.

I have a triton Studio, a real dream of a keyboard. From what I understand, though, the new Motif ES is an equal perhaps better contender.

I think either way you won't be disappointed.

By the way, I think the Triton's sequencer & other fuctions are quiet user friendly.
