Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Yamaha’s black MX61 brings a 61-key, velocity-sensitive keyboard together with a library of more than 1,000 voices and the MOTIF sound engine. A single voice can combine up to eight elements using layer, zone, switch, cycle, and randomize functions. It keeps computer and iOS work close at hand: one USB connection can carry MIDI or stereo audio, while the AUX input lets you monitor a mobile device or another line-level source.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Moving between live performance, a compact home studio, and computer-based recording with the same 61-key synthesizer.
- Capturing ideas with an iOS device and the included FM Essential app through class-compliant USB connectivity.
