Motif XS Sounds USB Audio MIDI Connectivity Compact Production Synthesizer \n

Don’t sacrifice sound for portability. And don’t sacrifice your technique by playing tiny keys. Yamaha’s MX is an ultra portable synth with full-sized touch-sensitive keys and over 1000 Voices from the legendary Motif.

\n

Don’t want to bring your entire rig? Grab an MX and go. Put it on top of a piano or other keyboard when you need extra synth textures. Not just a secondary instrument, play the MX all night, and you’ll be packed up and gone before the guitar player unplugs his first pedal.

\n

In the studio, The MX is a perfect writing partner. Built-in audio/MIDI interface and Remote mode make the MX an integral part of you studio.
