I can create plenty of new sounds in my motif i just choose not to. Why when there are so many free ones to obtain??????????? I might tweak sounds a little bit but I don't have time to make sounds from scratch. That shit's for nerds who don't have better shit to do. I'll leave that job to you and them. The motif isnt just a workstation its a midi controller, control surface, fx unit, advanced arpeggiator, firewire recording interface etc.....
Not saying I can't do most of that with a pc which i also have I just enjoy having more options and not to mention I'm not strapped down with a meager budget. Who said anything about using it as a preset box or as a preset replica? You're making a lot of assumptions.
Still lol@ you thinking a ten dollar soundset off ebay completely replicates the one found in the motif series.
