Os9 Dp3 And New Synth, advice please? Options

[Badshirt]

Hey guys and gals,
I'm currently using the Digi001 w/ Digital Performer 3 and ProTools (that shipped w/ the 001) on my Mac 633MHZ Computer in OS 9.2. I've only really done audio recording and haven't moved into midi sequencing too much.

I'm just wondering if I might be able to get some advice on a Synth to use for the purpose of recording. Of the ones I've played in stores I like the Yamaha Motif ES8 the most. The 8 is necessary because the weighted keys are a must for my lady who will pay half to use it for keys.
Has anybody used this synth with the 001? Is there a different suggestion on synths that are out?
Is the serquencing better IN DP or Protools or should I look elsewhere in general?

I guess I'm just looking for some opinions on any of the questions above. The Digi001 has served me well and the Mac that I'm using has never been too little for my uses. I would just love to add a nice synth to the mix for some great drum sounds. So which software and which synth?

Thanks ahead of time. I greatly appreciate any opinions. Please also feel free to e-mail me at: [EDIT LPM, please no email in the forum, spam bots can read it! use the link in the user's profile ]

re on board sequencing, I am one of those perverse individuals who actually likes hardware sequencers, I was a real fan of the roland MC50mk11 despite its tiny display, but I've grudgingly gone over to the dark side, joined the 21st century and embraced software sequencing now and must admit it's good to see all that info on screen.
re more keyboard suggestions, before I bought my kurzweil I gave serious consideration to the korg triton....and I think they do a cut down model which is very affordable.
I've not heard a Yamaha S90ES but I believe they're very good too.
cheers, JC
