If you own Native Instruments Kontakt (the full version, not just the free player), MOTIF ES is arguably one of the most powerful tools you can add to your hard drive. Here is my long-form breakdown of why.
Enter . This isn't just another Kontakt library of pretty sounds. It is a dedicated "idea machine" designed to bridge the gap between abstract sound design and functional musical rhythm.
This is a killer feature. If you love the rhythm of a motif but want to use a different sound (like a Spitfire string library), you can drag the MIDI pattern directly from Kontakt into your DAW track.
There is a Randomize button. When you're stuck, click it. It randomizes the motif, the pitch, the envelope, and the effects. 80% of the time it yields noise. 20% of the time it yields the main hook for your next film score. Those odds are fantastic.
