Yamaha MO6 Synthesizer
Yamaha, the world's largest musical instrument manufacturer and the leader in synthesizer technology, proudly introduces the MO Music Production Synthesizer. Targeted to semi-professional musicians and home/project studio owners as well as songwriters and performers, the MO provides a full set of authentic sounds and comprehensive music-making features-including an emphasis on contemporary styles and voices. Highly portable and compact, the MO also serves as an ideal keyboard for live performance situations. Two models are available: the 61-key MO6 and the full 88-key MO8.
Amazing, cutting-edge Voices for all modern styles
Drawing on the technology and sounds of the professional level MOTIF ES, the new MO features an expanded sound set, with an exceptionally large internal wave memory capacity. The keyboard has a full complement of realistic instrument Voices and Drum Kits, but includes many modern and vintage synthesizer sounds, and is well-equipped for current dance, club and techno music styles. For sound shaping and signal processing, the MO features sharp, responsive filters (with real-time knob control from the panel) and an extensive set of high-quality effects. Sophisticated music creation and production features
The MO also contains many advanced music production tools. These include a built-in Song sequencer, and a useful Pattern mode that allows you to build complex rhythmic/chordal patterns by using preset Phrases-or Phrases of your own creation. Moreover, the powerful Arpeggio feature gives you over 1700 sequenced phrases that you can trigger at the touch of a key. Comprehensive computer integration
The MO also seamlessly integrates into computer music systems, with special remote control functions that let you operate your favorite sequencer software from the instrument itself. In addition, the MO is the latest instrument in the Yamaha line to feature compatibility with the convenient Studio Connections system; it also supports the new Audio Integration features in that system. Studio Connections lets you make and save MO settings to a song within your DAW application (such as Steinbergs Cubase SX and Nuendo), and use the Total Recall features to instantly restore those settings when you reopen the song. Audio Integration takes this hardware/software link a huge leap further by allowing you to assign and seamlessly access the MO right from the sequencer, just as if the MO were a plug-in synthesizer. |

This workstation is awesome. It has amazing and realistic sounds - the main reason I bought it was for the Hammond organ sounds that it generates. I have gotten numerous compliments from my band and several others who have listened to the Hammond B-3/Leslie sound that it produces. Though it is only 61 keys, it is more portable than my other Yamaha keyboard - and rarely does one need the lower bass notes. If they are needed, there is an octave button. I did not go into the store to make this particular purchase, but after playing the one on display and hearing the full, natural sounds, I knew right away that this was the board I was taking home!! This awesome piece of equipment is like having the full band and orchestra right at your fingertips. Mine came bundled with Cubase software, with which you can sound as if you have had your work produced in the studio.
