Hey Jason:
I've never used a soft synth, so I can't answer your question completely. I
just sold my motif es and picked up a fantom x6, and I love it. There are
instrument definition files for the fantom x6, so it should be accessible with
Sonar once I figure out the miner problems I'm having in setting it up right
now. I definitely recommend the fantom x over the motif es. They are both
samplers though, but I like the Roland sounds way more than the yamaha ones.
This is purely subjective of course and you might want to check them both out
for yourself. I hope that helps a little.

Hey Omar, or anyone using hardware synths. I am going to upgrade my studio,
and wanted to know how the Roland xr and motif rack interact with sonar. How
accessible are they? what can I do and what can I not do. Are they synths or
samplers? the reason I ask is that isn't a synth a synth so a soft synth is
going to sound just as good as a hardware synth? My understanding is that a
sampler would sound better then either. And generally a soft synth will sound
better then a hardware synth since you have more processing power and ram in
the computer. Am I totally off here? thanks in advance

Hi All:
To any Fantom x/xr users on the list; when using the Fantom with Sonar
(with sonar as the sequencer,) did you guys have to put the Fantom into "slave
mode?" Second, I'm preparing to install the instrument definition files for the
Fantom x in Sonar. I was previously using the Motif es. Do I need to remove the
motif's ins def files prior to installing the fantom's? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks for any help in advance.
