[kanaris]

i'm looking to purchase a rack to use with my midi keyboard and mpc. I've been doing the computer thing for a while but i wanna get away from that now. can anybody recommend any good racks. i was thinking about copping a motif rack but im still not sure.

Yeah can someone please input some good modules and the types of sounds they have? I've heard the Fantom XR, Motif ES, and Triton Rack are pretty decent. Anyone use them and can give some input?

Personally I'm looking for some good hard lead synth sounds. Does anyone know good racks for those? Or VST Instruments?

I'd rather hear from people who have used certain racks on their input but...

is a good source to see a lot of various racks.

To add to this thread, how are the user interfaces on these modules?
I remember the Emu modules being really easy to set up on 16 midi channels to use with the MPC.
The Korg TR-Rack on the other hand had a horrible interface, sucked.
Yamaha FS1R also has a pretty confusing interface and only works on 4 midi channels (great sounding though).
I'm thinking of getting a rack too, I tried the new Access table top joint, it's nice (although only works on 4 midi channels). I want to try the Waldorf Blofeld, that looks dope to me.
