Layah asked:
Is there a difference in sounds? I heard that the Motif has more real instrument feel when it comes to strings, piano, and guitar. I also heard that the Fantom has more clean electronic sounds. What do you experienced keyboardists think?

It all depends on what type of music you are shooting for.
1) I think the fantom has a good mix of all the major types of music. The motif is a powerhouse on sound clarity and realness geared toward composition and performance.
2) The user interfaces are a little different also.
A) Fantom Has a color screen with nice graphics etc. Pretty easy once you get the hang.
B) Motif takes a Little time to get used to interface is 2 tone nothing fance a little lag on the refresh rate. but i didnt buy the keyboard for looks .
c)The fantom has a Mini “MPC” Style pad which is convenient.
D) the motif has 8 faders and a lot of knob options for mixing and tweaking.
If i had the choice i would stick with a motif. The sound is amazing.
I personally own a Motif XS and i love it. Although I would cheat on her with the fantom any day.
