At the core of Yamaha's MX series synthesizers are carefully selected sounds taken from the world famous Yamaha MOTIF XS. That powerful sound arsenal is packed into a slim and sleek package that fits today's on-the-go mobile lifestyle. But the MX Series aren't just synthesizers; they are designed to bridge the gap between hardware and software. By adding a class compliant USB audio and MIDI interface for plug-and-play operation with your Mac, PC or iOS device, the MX integrates hardware reliability with controller flexibility to give you the best of both worlds at a groundbreaking level of affordability. Whether on stage or in the studio, the MX packs a powerful punch at a minimal price.
Over 1,000 sounds from the MOTIF series
The MX series contains more than 1,000 voices derived directly from the world famous Yamaha MOTIF XS series. From realistic acoustic sounds like piano, electric piano, strings and drums to complex 8-element synth sounds, the MX has all of your favorite Motif XS Voices right at your fingertips. The MX even has a streamlined interface for instant hands-on selection of all those great voices. The category selection makes it easier than ever to find the voice you need. You can even edit and store your own sounds right on board.
VCM effects
MX synthesizers come equipped with VCM effects, which simulate vintage effectors at the circuit level. The sounds of the 70s are brought back to life, through simulating the hard-to-find vintage sounds of equalizer, flanger, phaser and wah effects introduced by the keyboard legends of the era.
Easy split/layer Performance Mode for instant inspiration
Performance Mode on the MOTIFs has always been the place to find instant inspiration and the MX is no different. You can easily combine two voices to play on the keyboard using the dedicated split and layer buttons each with their own intelligent arpeggiator and a dedicated part for a drum track to create evocative Performances that feel like a whole band is playing. The 128 Performances on the MX are all user editable, but come programmed with the latest club friendly grooves.
16-part multi-timbral and 128-note polyphony
Each Performance contains not only the three sounds described above, but all the settings for a complete 16-part Multi setting for play. You can switch between any of the 16 parts without the sound cutting off. With 128 notes of polyphony there are plenty of notes to play even the densest sequences from your DAW. These features make the MX the perfect tone generator solution for live performance and live playback of DAW MIDI tracks.
Bi-directional USB audio/MIDI interfacing
But the MX doesn't just control software DAWs and VSTs. Just connect a USB cable to your computer and you can monitor all the sounds from your computer via the headphone output of the MX or listen to your DAW tracks by connecting the MX to external studio monitors or PA gear. The audio converters on the MX are made for professional music applications, so everything on your computer, even games, will sound better when using the MX as the output. The MX interface is bi-directional so you can record the internal sounds of the MX directly to your computer, without ever going to the analog domain, for the highest possible quality.
