Workstations (fantom, triton, motif)

[grutgrut]

Hello,
recently i've made searches in 3 workstations, to try to compare them
- fantom x6, triton extreme; motif 6 es.
i hope to get one of those next year, and use it as a drum sample terminal, and it will probably 2nd hand.

Does any one use any of these and tell me how it is in terms of mixing inside the machine (i will mix drums mainly, but also string pads, electric pianos, and all that is better to have out of he pc).

I have a question about midi stuff:
- all wkstations have arpegiators/step sequencer, but only the motif explicitly tells that it can be send to external gear (such as scope synths !!): do the fantom and triton have that feature ?
- the triton looks the best for external storage: isit as easy as it looks ?
- the fantom is appealing only for the electric pianos on srx boards... nothing equivalent on triton ? (nb, i have the wizoo collection of wurliz and rodhes for S1000 format: never really used it on STS 5000 because of the different program loading (ie, on sts , it ends on 4 different programs to have a full s1000 instrument loaded with all velocities etc).


Thanks a lot for help. Sory I ask those questions, but I haven't found much on specialized forums (especially about the polyphonic arpegiators and scope devices for example).

i have the mo 6 and its great, it can send arp just like the karma of old, ....but its better in that the rom is 176mg's . What many don't realize is that in song and pattern mode you can create any arp (it comes with 1700) into a midifile and has 3 insert effects per voice plus the stereo output effect. So your playing live and you have a pattern going, you can set up 5 arps and 15 subpatterns all in one patch giving you like 50 different arps in real time by a touch of a button, all that you created or the onboard ones.
