Yamaha MX61 61-Key Music Synthesizer

The Yamaha MX61 is a compact, lightweight synthesizer that delivers over 1,000 high-quality Voices derived from Yamaha’s legendary MOTIF series. With 61 semi-weighted keys and 128-note polyphony, it’s designed for expressive performances on stage or in the studio. The MX61 integrates seamlessly with computers and iOS devices via class-compliant USB audio/MIDI, enabling plug-and-play connectivity without drivers. Its durable build and intuitive front-panel controls make it an ideal choice for professional keyboardists and producers.

Featuring Yamaha’s MOTIF Sound Engine, you can layer, zone, and switch up to eight elements within a single Voice. The Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) recreates the behavior of vintage effects and signal processors, while Damper Resonance DSP replicates the acoustics of a grand piano. DAW Remote functionality lets you control transport, mixer, and software instruments directly from the MX61. A built-in arpeggiator with 999 patterns and 27 demo songs inspire creativity right out of the box.
