Yamaha Reface CS

With its compact design and clear focus on creative sound design, this mobile mini keyboard offers a modern interpretation of classic synthesizer tradition. The sound generation is based on an Analog Physical Modeling Engine that combines various synthesis types such as pulse, multi-saw, oscillator sync, ring modulation, and FM. This allows you to create versatile sound colors – from warm pads to distinctive basslines and striking leads.

Each synthesis type has its own texture and mod controls that deeply influence the sound shaping. This way, you can turn simple oscillator waves into complex sonic landscapes or deliberately experiment to create unusual sound textures. This creative process is supported by the integrated effects, including chorus, flanger, phaser, delay, and distortion, which can be used flexibly to give your sound additional character.

With 8-voice polyphony, the instrument is suitable for harmonic chord progressions as well as lush pads. In mono mode, you can create powerful basslines or expressive solos. The integrated phrase looper allows you to record and overdub up to 10 minutes of audio – perfect for capturing ideas or live performances. Thanks to the built-in stereo speaker system with bass reflex port, the sound is present and balanced even without external amplification.

For mobile use, the device can be powered either via an AC adapter or up to 5 hours with batteries. The USB-to-Host port allows for a direct MIDI connection to computers or iOS devices. Additional connections such as AUX-in, stereo outputs, headphone jack, and a pedal input expand its use both in the studio and on the go.
