"this is painful"

Hi Eric,
What Bob (jazzmammal) said. Also, what you said (toward the last of your post). lol

A little pep talk for you.

As you well know, you have a very powerful synth there, and the complexity that goes with it. Don't allow yourself the luxury of becoming frustrated with it!!!! Allocate the time, get a yellow pad and pencil and take the time to write on that pad as you go. Start with a specific thing you want to do, such as "hook up the Motif to play its GM bank from BIAB" and write that on the pad first. Then take good notes as you do it. Sooner or later, you'll know your way around that mo just like this guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGS_O0LRnCA

Here's a good article if you haven't read it already. http://www.tweakheadz.com/reviews/review_of_the_motif_xs.htm

Later,
Jim

I'd be completely happy if I had just one more guitar.
