Wrote the following about Yamaha MX61 BK MK2

Uitstekende allrounder.
De acoustische drumsets met in het bijzonder de realistische snare-drums gaven voor mij
de doorslag om deze MX te kopen.
Maar liefst 2 arpeggiators zijn simultaan in te zetten.
Verdere highlights vindt ik de heel goed klinkende Tenor saxofoon die je
gecontroleerd kunt laten 'scheuren' met het modulatie-wheel.
De Yamaha CP 70/80 piano's, het zeer realistisch Eminent 310 'Jarre orgel' (analog strings preset)
en de effecten die tot in de allerkleinste details zijn te programmeren.
Maar ook de 'bread and butter sounds' zoals de basgitaren zijn heel flexibel en bevatten slides plus allerlei
bijgeluiden die ook op een echte bas zijn te maken.

Yamaha Introduces MX MK2 Synthesizers

Friday 12 August 2016

All of a sudden, Yamaha has introduced no fewer than six new synths that follow in the footsteps of the old MX. Although Yamaha hasn't come up with a brand new name for their latest line of synths, with names like the MK2, V2 and II, you can expect them to live up to the same high quality standards as other Yamaha synthesizers.
