DISCONTINUED Yamaha MM8 Music Production Synth

Full Description

The MM6 Music Production Synthesizer launched in 2007 set a new standard in quality of sound verses price. Now, that same MM6 engine has been crafted into a full 88 note weighted action instrument.

Great sound, great features at an affordable price.

MM8 is so versatile. It easily covers so many performance and studio applications. Being lightweight, its easy to get it to the gig as a performance keyboard and, being a powerful synthesizer with USB connectivity, it will rapidly become the central tone generator for a computer based music production studio

Power and control. Two elements that can make all the difference in your music, whether you compose, create or perform.

The MM8 and MM6 Music Synthesizers deliver all the musical power and creative control you need - and a whole lot more. Taking their sounds from the highly popular pro-level MOTIF series instruments, the MM8 and MM6 have an enormous variety of dynamic, authentic Voices to help you create and perform in virtually any style of music.

These powerful instruments also give you total control over your sound, letting you dynamically change sonic textures as you play with real-time tweakable knobs. Also built-in are special Patterns that provide full instrumental backing - drums, bass and chords - to accompany your live performance and song creation.

With its exceptional light weight and portability, the MM6 is the perfect choice for musicians on the go, while the full length 88-key keyboard of the MM8 delivers natural touch and expressive control over the complete piano range. The MM8 feature:

� Super-high-quality sounds

� Tons of real-time control

� Dynamic music creation tools�including automatic Pattern and Arpeggiator generators

� Performance Memory for instantfull-panel setting changes

� Versatile song recording features �with eight normal tracks and one Pattern track

� Convenient, easy-to-use data storage solutions
