Yamaha MX88 BK

Description

Yamaha’s MX88 synth is the complete solution for the modern piano player needing realistic piano action, inspiring synth sound and easy connectivity to computers and iOS devices.

In addition to a massive MOTIF XS soundbank, MX88 is equipped with Yamaha’s VCM FX engine, which meticulously models vintage effects at the circuit level. EQs, phasers, flangers, wah-wahs, and more are all on the menu here, letting you instantly tap into the coveted sounds of the 1970s.

The MX88 is 16-part multitimbral and spec’d with 128-note polyphony. These features build up dense sequences and play them without fear of dreaded note-stealing or sounds cutting off. This makes the MX an ideal tone generation solution for onstage performance and live playback of MIDI tracks off your DAW.
