Yamaha brings you the MX88 music synthesizer, offering players the flexibility to explore musical horizons like never before. Packed with over 1,000 inspiring sound patches with 128-note polyphony and 16-track sequences, the MX88 is a lightweight and portable synthesizer that makes a perfect fit for the stage, studio, or anywhere creativity strikes.
Legendary MOTIF Sound Engine
The MX88 delivers a massive library of sounds, pulled straight from Yamaha’s renowned MOTIF series. Skip the menu diving with intuitive category buttons, quick split and layer setups, and four assignable knobs for real-time tweaking, so you can spend more time playing and less time programming. Each voice can use up to eight elements for massive, expressive textures. You can layer, zone, switch by playing dynamics, or randomize elements for wild, evolving sounds — perfect for sound design or live performance.
From rich acoustic and electric pianos to soulful organs with rotary speaker effects, the MX88 covers all your vintage and modern keyboard needs. The Full Concert Grand Piano voice comes directly from the MOTIF engine. Realistic strings, brass, woodwinds, and more make this a go-to tool for composers, producers, and educators alike.
Use the built-in arpeggiator to fire off complex phrases instantly which is great for live performance or music production. And with high-end effects like VCM (Virtual Circuit Modeling) and REV-X reverb, your sound is not just big — it’s studio-ready!
Real Piano Feel with GHS Action
Play with confidence thanks to Yamaha’s Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keybed — heavier in the low end, lighter in the highs — just like a grand piano. The matte black keytops stay grippy even during long practice or performance sessions.
Works Seamlessly with Cubase & iOS
Its easy integration with Steinberg’s Cubase software (Cubasis LE2 for iPad included) gives you a streamlined setup for writing, recording, editing, and mixing. Use it as both a MIDI controller and sound source for an all-in-one production setup — no extra interfaces required.
Connect to Yamaha’s free FM Essential app for iOS and access 271 FM synth voices — from vintage '80s tones to modern EDM. Edit sounds, add effects, and use the step sequencer — all from your iPad or iPhone.
Studio Integration
The MX88 is more than a keyboard — it’s a full-featured studio hub. Record and playback stereo audio and MIDI directly through USB without needing extra gear. Control your DAW with onboard transport buttons and tweak plugins using the knobs. Jam with built-in rhythm patterns in tons of genres or load MIDI and audio files directly from USB. You can even plug in a music player through AUX IN and play along with your favorite tracks.
Whether you're a performer or producer looking to expand your sonic palette, the Yamaha MX88 contains the best of digital and acoustic realms together in one powerful, portable instrument.
