Yamaha MX61 BK 61-Key Synthesizer - Black

Great for stage, studio and everywhere in between

For keyboardists needing great sounds, computer connectivity and integration along with full-sized keys in an ultra-portable package, the MX61 BU is a lightweight synthesizer featuring the legendary Motif sound engine and computer integration.

From realistic acoustic sounds like piano, electric piano, strings and drums to complex 8-element synth sounds, the MX has all of your favorite MOTIF XS Voices right at your fingertips. The MX even has a streamlined interface for instant hands-on selection of all those great Voices. The newly designed category selection makes it easier than ever to find the Voice you need.
