Yamaha MOXF8: Where Vintage meets Modern
The Yamaha MOXF8 88-Key Synthesizer Workstation Keyboard is a veritable sonic arsenal. The latest in the MOX series, the MOXF8 packs all the studio-quality excellence of the long-revered Yamaha MOTIF, along with some inspiring upgrades that make it the ultimate in performance keyboards.
Designed with the MOTIF XF sound engine—741 MB of waveform—and an eighty-eight-key graded hammer action keyboard, the MOXF8 has the most realistic response of any synthesizer on the market today. Yamaha MOXF8 reviews are pouring in that it has the feel of an authentic acoustic piano, with a range from heavy bass to light treble.
The MOXF8 gets its remarkable acoustic sounds from painstakingly detailed digital recreations of two Yamaha grand pianos. And with its all-new content, 136 new voices including clavinets, organs, the superb S6 grand piano, and diverse genres like orchestral and hip-hop, you’ll have all the styles you need for live performance or studio production and never run out of sounds again.

Simply put, the quality of every instrument in the MOXF8 is improved, lending to the most realistic and expertly crafted sounds.
The Yamaha MOXF8’s optional Flash board gives you up to an additional gigabyte of samples to shape your music exactly the way you want. And aftermarket content like Yamaha’s CP1 Piano and Inspiration In A Flash make sure that every creative possibility is at your fingertips.
