Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
It's really good over-all. The plastic body isn't a problem. It's well made. All of the controllers and the keys are top-notch. It's a professional-feeling keyboard. There are a ton of keyboards coming out that feel cheap. This one doesn't.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
It's an inspirational keyboard when you are composing. In this sense, it's my favorite. I like it better than any of the motifs, Korgs, or Rolands. I can't really explain it. The MO6 has something that the others don't. Maybe I could call it 'personality.'

I've never liked how Yamaha set up this era of keyboards. Finding the sounds is cumbersome. Seeing how in a gig you're using your right hand to play most of the riffs...the controllers should be to the left. Strange
Sound
How is the tone?
Oboe & bassoon are second to none. Organs & strings are good. Acoustic piano is average. Some of the synth pads are excellent.

Just take it out and plug it up. THe recording can be tricky if you have never played a motif.

I was blown away with the sounds on this board. The sounds really are identical to the sounds on the motif es. I love the piano, rhodes, and the syhths.

The MO6 is very well made, with all the connections necessary for making music today. You have your basic midi in out and thru as well as two USB ports. I have a complex computer recording setup and the MO6 fits right in.

I like the sounds the best, ALL of them! Hands down, this is better than anything Roland or Korg is putting out. As it stands, I almost purchased the Microstation, but I heard too many bad reviews concerning the sequencer and how it could not keep a perfect beat. The MO does not even have to have the quantize function activated and it keeps perfect rhythm if I nail the performance. My only gripe is that I wish the sequencer were more like the old QY series where you could take entire sections of a sequence and move them around. But I will adapt.

I did manage to record three songs. One I saved to a digital recorder, one I was unable to figure out how to save, and the third is safely stored away on my USB. Again, I am still learning the unit. The keyboard is nice, not to soft but not quite semi-weighted. Reminds of the old Roland Juno series.

Love the tone!

Oh, the value is perfect. Yamaha has never let me down in the past. I've been a steady customer since the DX100(my first board at 15)
