Main Features

View Your Motif Banks.

A Motif bank is an ALL or ALL VOICE file. You view this in complete in a "Motif Document", showing you the Voices (and each Element), Waveforms, and Samples in that Bank.

Voices, Elements, Waveforms, Samples.

Once you view the Motif Bank's contents, you are free to create, delete, or edit ANYTHING. Drop in Samples or even Instruments from the outside. Edit an Element's Parameters. Even construct new Voice or Performances.

Import Any Format.

Motif Creator™ has the Chicken Systems Conversion engine, allowing you full access to pretty much EVERY professional instrument known to man (e.g. Kontakt, EXS24, Structure, SFZ, Reason, others). Want that great guitar or electric piano in your Motif? Just import it in - using Motif Creator™.

Directly Audition Waveforms.

Only Motif Creator™ has an onboard Waveform Player, allowing you to audition Waveforms before you commit them to the Motif. Just select the Waveform and play via MIDI. Also, Motif Creator™ creatively allows leveraging your favorite software sampler to edit or create your Waveforms in realtime; simply prepare your Waveform with one click and drag it (for example) into Kontakt. Fully harness the power of Kontakt, and when you are done editing, save your Keymap and the Motif document is immediately updated. You can also edit sample-by-sample with your favorite sample editor.
