Product information

General

Prepare yourself for jealous looks as soon as you step on stage with this stunning bright blue Yamaha MX61 BU MK2 synthesizer. This synthesizer stands out not only because of its colour, but also because this synth offers endless possibilities at a very keen price. For instance, you get all the Motif XS sounds, a number of extraordinary effects, and a high-quality keyboard that's comfortable to play. The voice banks offer a great selection of pads, pianos, brass and string instruments, and many other sounds that are accurately reproduced by Yamaha's AWM2 engine that features a 128-voice polyphony and 16 multi timbre parts. If you want a tool for large and layered music productions, the MX61 is ideal!

Features of the Yamaha MX61 BU MK2

Besides a traditional synthesizer, the MX61 BU MK2 can also function as a MIDI and audio interface for your computer. In other words, you can use the MX61's rotary encoder to control the plugins, or directly record your digital audio signal in your DAW. This synth comes with Cubase AI, so all you need to get started right away is a computer! Fans of the complex but practical FM synthesis will not be disappointed: the iPhone/iPad app FM Essential offers seamless integration with the MX. What's more, when connected to your device, you can control all of the sounds and features of the app with the MX61. Whether you're looking for a synth to use for live performances or studio use, you're going to love this lightweight, portable Yamaha with a top-quality 61-note keyboard that is very comfortable to play.
