I ask this question in regard to evaluating what benefits moving to a Motif might bring with it.

I understand that the MOX are highly aligned when it comes to functionality. But out of curiosity, is there a difference in the A/D converters used? Specifically, are the MOX A/D converters of lesser quality?

I expect the MOX would indeed use lesser converters. And I like my MOX for what it is. But I am curious nonetheless.

Many thanks.

There’s a difference, but the question is whether it’s significant enough for your purposes.

If you haven’t already seen this, you might find it interesting, although it doesn’t specifically address the MOX:

Thanks again.

That’s a long thread that one :)

You know ... the only reason I even asked the question was that I snaffled a CP4 and I played some sound that ... mate ... they smacked me in the face. In the good way.

I really like my MOX for what it is, but I don’t recall getting the same smack in the face feeling.

Like you said - maybe that matters and maybe it doesn’t. As an extension, I am assessing that question in the context of a live, large-ish band environment. Would better A/D converters cut through better, is the question I am asking myself.

Anyway ... back to that thread ... :)

Thanks again.

I doubt A/D converter differences matter much with regard to being “smacked in the face”.

The CP4 uses Spectral Component Modeling, and that’s likely what’s doing the smacking.  :-)
