The MX series places 1,000 Voices from the world-famous MOTIF synthesizer at your fingertips, from realistic acoustic pianos, electric pianos, strings and drums to complex synth sounds. You can even edit and store your own sounds from the front panel.Class-Compliant, “Plug and Play” USB Audio/MIDI
The MX features USB audio and MIDI with iOS, Mac and PC. Just plug it in and your MX synthesizer becomes your audio and MIDI interface for the rest of your music studio. Monitor your computer via the MX headphone output, studio monitors or PA gear.
16-Part Multi-Timbral and 128-Note Polyphony
In addition to Splits and Layers, the MX series features full, 16-Part MIDI for creating entire arrangements using DAW software. With 128 notes of polyphony, there are plenty of notes to play even the densest sequences from your DAW. These features make the MX series the perfect tone generator solution for live performance and live playback of DAW MIDI tracks.
Extensive Hands-On Controls for VSTs and DAWs
The MX series also features solid knobs and durable buttons for controlling internal sounds, DAW parameters and VST instruments. The deceptively simple interface is combined with a remote template editor on your computer so any VST can be controlled by the MX. There are advanced integration templates for use with a variety of DAWs. When used with Cubase, there is even an AI knob so any parameter can be controlled by the large rotary encoder just by hovering over it. It’s never been quicker to take full control of Cubase.
A Complete Suite of Music Production Software Included
The MX series is the only hardware synth in its price range to come with a complete suite of music production software tools. The included Steinberg Cubase AI features 48 audio tracks and 64 MIDI tracks, notation, built-in VST effects, so with just the MX series and AI you can do complete productions. But, we didn’t stop there! The MX series features download codes for the YC-3b organ emulator in addition to Cubase AI. Plus, there are Remote Template editors for setting up controls of VSTs.
Complete Analog and Digital Connectivity
In addition to the USB audio/MIDI port, the MX series has a USB TO DEVICE port for external data storage to USB flash drive. You can even play back .WAV data from the flash drive. If you want to add a tablet or an MP3 player to your system, just connect to the AUX input using a mini stereo cable and you are ready to go.
A Lightweight Design with a Quality Yamaha Keyboard
While almost all other keyboard controllers use inexpensive OEM keyboards, the MX series features an expertly crafted keyboard that only Yamaha — the world’s largest keyboard manufacturer — could produce.
VCM Effects
MX series synthesizers come equipped with VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) 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.
