In this section, we’ll delve into one of the most important and powerful features of the MOTIF — the Integrated
Sampling Sequencer.
Today’s digital music producers and artists use a mutlitude of advanced tools to get the job done — including MIDI,
sampling, audio editing and much more. Cutting and pasting beats, loops and patterns together is an integral part of
