Synthesizer from the MX series with 49 key keyboard. Yamaha presents the MX series ultraportable synthesizers with new functions and designs. The two models with 49 or 61 full size keys are connected via USB for plug & play with PC, Mac or iPad. When hooked up to the FM Essential iOS App, each model features 256 FM sounds, produced by an FM engine with four operators and ten voices. In combination with the integrated AWM2 engine, which delivers 1000 preset sounds, MX49 and MX61 deliver top performances on stage – and in the studio. Direct connection to the brand-new FM Essential iOS app Each model of the MX II series offers a direct connection to mobile devices like smartphones or tablets. These platforms can be a tremendous addition: With the FM essential app for iOS, all MX instruments can be extended by an FM synthesizer with four operators and ten voices. For this the iPad and the MX model have to be connected with the Apple lightning USB adaptor cable (which is available separately) – and within the blink of an eye the MX offers classic 80s sounds as well as cutting-edge modern EDM. It may be light in weight, but the MX series is heavy duty when it comes to performance: A complete MOTIF engine with 1000 sounds and 128 voice polyphony is at the heart of every model. From authentic sounds like acoustic piano, e-piano, strings and drums to complex synth and electronic sounds with eight elements, the MX offers the most famous MOTIF sounds. In the home studio, MX synthesizers turn into comprehensive controller-keyboards with integrated audio interface.
