Sampling & Recording Projects are the focus of this 2 hr 15 min DVD. Motif's sampling architecture is fully explained, along with re-sampling, and recording audio such as vocals and guitar.

The complete process of recording a song, from basic MIDI tracks in Pattern mode, to Song conversion, overdubbing vocals, mixing, FX offers a valuable insight not only into Motif, but also into the creative processes of recording on any medium.

Though made on and for the original Motif 'classic' it's both interesting and worth noting that the Motif platform has not substantially changed in 10 years. The sound engine, functionality, modes, and basic operations are principally the same even on the 2010-released Motif XF. Accordingly, serious students of Motifness can do a lot worse than pick up this early Motif DVD to enhance and complete their knowledge.
