Yamaha re-lancerer MX-synthen: Nye modeller til scenen og studiet med FM-syntese-app & friske nye farver
Rellingen, 21, July 2016 –Friske farver og fede FM-lyde: Yamaha præsenterer den helt nye MX-serie af ultratransportable synthesizere med nye funktioner og nyt design. De to modeller med hhv. 49 og 61 tangenter i fuld størrelse tilsluttes via USB og er plug&play-klar på både PC, Mac og iPad. Når de tilsluttes den nye FM Essentials iOS-app, er der 256 FM-lyde at vælge imellem, som laves i en FM-engine med 4 operatorer og 10 stemmer. I kombination med den integrerede AWM2-engine, som leverer 1000 preset-lyde, giver MX49 og MX61 dig alt hvad du skal bruge til scenen eller i studiet. På scenen excellerer de to keyboards med at have al den basale funktionalitet fra den legendariske MOTIF-serie, og i studiet har de dedikerede master-keyboard funktioner, herunder DAW-controller og integreret audio-interface. MX49 og MX61 leveres i en stilfuld blå eller klassisk sort finish, og så er der også en hvid udgave i begrænset oplag, hvis du virkelig vil skille dig ud på scenen.
Lightweight synthesizer in three stylish colours
With the new models of the MX series, Yamaha presents a new generation of ultra-portable synthesizers. With a weight of 3.8 kg, the MX49 is a real lightweight, and even its bigger brother MX61 weighs in at only 4.8 kg. Not only great for the stage, – but also easy to carry to every rehearsal (in a perfectly fitted gig-bag available - as an option). With their striking colours, the new MX models are in the spotlight of every performance.
Direct connection to the brand-new FM Essential iOS app
Each model of the all-new MX series offers a direct connection to mobile devices like smartphones or tablets. These platforms can be a tremendous addition: With the FM essential app for iOS, all MX instruments can be extended by an FM synthesizer with four operators and ten voices. For this the iPad and the MX model have to be connected with the Apple lightning USB adaptor cable (which is available separately ) – and within the blink of an eye the MX offers classic 80s sounds as well as cutting-edge modern EDM.
On stage: 1000 MOTIF sounds for all music genres
It may be light in weight, but the MX series is heavy duty when it comes to performance: A complete MOTIF engine with 1000 sounds and 128 voice polyphony is at the heart of every model. From authentic sounds like acoustic piano, e-piano, strings and drums to complex synth and electronic sounds with eight elements, the MX offers the most famous MOTIF sounds.
In the studio: master-keyboard functions and integrated audio interface
In the home studio, MX synthesizers turn into comprehensive master-keyboards with integrated audio interface. The important functions of a sequencer like Steinberg™ Cubase® are directly controllable through dedicated DAW controller knobs and buttons. Even VST plug-ins are right at the fingertips. The MX synthesizers are connected to PC or Mac via USB. Thanks to the class compliant technology there’s no driver needed – the MX model will be detected and installed automatically by the operating system of the computer.
A Complete Suite of Music Production Software Included
The MX series are not just hardware synths – thanks to the bundled software they become a complete music production solution. The included Steinberg Cubase AI features 48 audio tracks and 64 MIDI tracks, notation, built-in VST effects, so with just the MX and AI you can do complete productions. But it doesn’t stop there; MX is also bundled with Steinberg Prologue and the Yamaha YC-3B organ emulator so you have some compelling VSTs to get started.
Plus there are Remote Template editors for setting up controls of VSTs.
For music makers on the go, MX series offer the iPad music production App, "Cubasis LE". By simply downloading the App and connecting an MX to the iOS device, you can unlock the feature set of Cubasis LE.
Availability
The all-new Yamaha MX series with its models MX49 and MX61 is available from July 2016. The limited edition white model will hit the stores a little later in October of 2016.
