Yamaha MX 49 & 61
Great for stage, studio and everywhere
in between
parts for each performance. The keyboard features 128 notes
of polyphony, so you won't have to worry about notes cutting
off even with the densest sequences from your DAW.
The MX series synthesizers feature carefully selected sounds
taken from the Yamaha MOTIF XS. That powerful sonic
palette is packed into sleek packages (available in 49- and
61-note versions) that fit today's on-the-go life style. But
the MX Series aren't just synthesizers; they are designed to
bridge the gap between hardware and software. By adding
extensive audio and MIDI USB connectivity, advanced DAW
and VST controller features and a suite of powerful music
production software, the MX integrate hardware reliability
with controller flexibility to give you the best of both worlds
at a ground breaking level of affordability.
128 performances & 16-multi-timbral parts for each
performance.
Bi-directional USB Audio/MID interfacing
But the MX doesn't just control software DAWs and VSTs; it's
an audio interface. One thing about this series of keyboards is
the fact that one can record its internal sounds directly to the
computer. There's no need to go the analog route, therefore
you get the highest sound quality possible. You can control
internal sounds, DAW parameters and VST instruments via
the knobs and buttons of your MX. This hands-on control is
truly impressive.
The keyboard comes with a
complete suite of music production
software. Included in your package
is Steinberg Cubase AI which
features 48 audio tracks and 64
MIDI tracks, notation and built-
in VST effects, allowing you to do
complete productions. In addition
the keyboard comes with compelling
VSTs to get you started, namely,
Steinberg Prologue and the Yamaha YC-3B organ emulator.
Bottom Line
Rewrites the rules for what you can expect from a do-it-all gig
keyboard at an entry-level price. An outstanding value.
The Yamaha MX49 and Yamaha MX61 each feature 128
performances, all editable. There's a total of 16-multi-timbral
