Description

The Yamaha MX49 Synthesizer is an industry-leading FM synthesizer that is flexible, compact, portable, and easy to make sound great. With 16-part, 128-note polyphony (in other words, a whole lot of notes at once), this synthesizer can sound like almost anything.

The MOTIF XS soundbank that comes included has tons of fantastic, preset sounds that you can pull up instantly to sound great. On top of that, this synth comes with Yamaha’s VCM FX engine, which models vintage-style effects and tools to make all of your sounds feel warm, full, and appropriate for the musical situation.

The lightweight, durable, and portable design makes this keyboard an excellent option for marching band and indoor drumline. With a built-in class compliant audio interface and 16 MIDI channels, this powerful instrument can easily interface with a computer to trigger samples or other instruments to get more complex sounds.

You can also use the USB port to connect a USB drive for saving and recalling data. The auto-shutoff feature turns the synth off after a period of inactivity, which also makes it perfect for if a synth player forgets to shut off an instrument during a meal break during summer band or a rehearsal weekend.
