Yamaha MX88

The Yamaha MX88 is a comprehensive solution for musicians and producers who are looking for a powerful and flexible sound platform. It combines a high-quality keyboard with an impressive selection of tones and effects inspired by Yamaha's renowned MOTIF series. The MX88 offers not only a wide range of acoustic and electronic instruments but also high-quality vintage effects made possible by the integrated VCM (Virtual Circuit Modeling) technology. This technology simulates analog circuit effects that were popular in the 1970s, such as EQs, phasers, and flangers, to name a few.

The 88 keys of the MX88 are fully weighted, velocity-sensitive, and provide a natural resistance that replicates the feel of a real piano. Furthermore, the matt black key surfaces are designed to absorb moisture, ensuring an optimal grip even during extended playing sessions. These features make the MX88 an ideal choice for both the studio and the stage.

Another remarkable aspect is the high polyphony of 128 voices and the 16-fold multitimbrality, allowing you to create complex musical textures without sacrificing sound quality or interrupting notes. This is especially important for electronic musicians and those who want to create dense sequences and arrangements.

The MX88's interface is equipped with a range of controls that provide intuitive tactile control of internal sounds as well as external VST instruments and DAW parameters. When you use the MX88 with Cubase, the AI Knob allows you to control any parameter simply by hovering your mouse over it.

The package also includes a comprehensive suite of music production software, including Steinberg Cubase AI, which provides you with a complete production environment. You also gain access to Yamaha's YC-3B organ emulation, adding another dimension to your sonic arsenal.

The Yamaha MX88 is a powerful and versatile option for any serious musician or producer. It offers a wide range of high-quality sounds, from acoustic pianos and strings to advanced synthetic textures, while also providing extensive control and customization to unleash your creativity.
