Bold MOTIF sounds in a very affordable package

The Yamaha MM6 Music Synthesizer Workstation is a 61-key synth with 418 voices and 22 onboard drum kits (plus an extra set of GM voices) combined with lots of realtime controls for performance and song creation. Nicknamed the "Mini-Mo" because it draws on the powerful sound engine from the pro-level MOTIF series workstations, the MM6 has a wide variety of dynamic, realistic, and just plain powerful voices to help you create amazing music. The MM6 makes it easy to take control of your sounds—just twist some knobs and tweak the sound in realtime as you play. You also get special patterns for full backing of your live performance and song creation. Exceptionally light and portable, you'll be able to bring your MM6 anywhere your music takes you.

Maximize your Music
Much of today's music is being made on computers and the MM6 digital piano is built to fit right into any computer music system. Just connect the USB (to host) terminal on the MM6 to your computer with a standard USB cable and you've got the makings of a sophisticated recording setup. Just to make sure you've got a head start, it includes a free copy of Cubase LE—a full-featured music production application that has all you need to record your performance data from the Yamaha MOTIF MM6 via MIDI, edit the data, process the sounds with effects, arrange it in multiple tracks, and perform the final mixdown.

Patterns to groove on
The MM6 has a full set of Patterns that give you rhythmic backing in a wide variety of music styles—including hip hop, rap, R&B, dance, ambient, pop, rock, jazz, and even world styles. These patterns are just what you need to shake up the dance floor. All dynamic, all powerful—the MM6 gives you the real thing. Patterns that stay in the groove but never sound mechanical. Drum loops with a truly human feel that dance and float around the beat, yet remain firmly in the pocket. Riffs and licks that get you inspired, get you moving, and get you creating some serious music.

Arpeggiate yourself
The powerful arpeggiator feature lets you automatically create repeating rhythmic phrases and note patterns. A full 213 arpeggiator types are built in, letting you trigger a variety of musically useful and exciting patterns to get the house jumping. Many of these arpeggiator types use synth lead, piano, and guitar voices to generate melodic and broken chord patterns based on the chords you play with your left hand. Bass arpeggios and drum voice rhythm loops are also included, letting you easily set up dynamic riffs and beats to jam over.

Save and swap
When you play live, you want to be able to make sound changes quickly—not just between songs, but in the middle of a song too. The Performance Memory feature is just the tool you need to smoothly switch gears and take things up a notch or two. Each Performance can store combined settings for the Voices you want to use (including special keyboard splits and layers), the Patterns you want as backing tracks, and any other crucial settings for your live work. Then, simply call up each Performance by pressing a single button.

Share the wealth
With the rear panel USB connection, the MM6 makes it easier than ever before to transfer your valuable data between devices. Plug in a USB thumb drive or memory stick and store the important MIDI songs, Pattern files, Performance settings, and all other data you've created, and then bring it to a computer for archiving and organizing. You can also save your recorded songs in the universal SMF (Standard MIDI File) format, then transfer and use those on any another SMF-compatible device, including computers running MIDI music sequencing software.

  • Versatile and hard working

    As reviewed by JR in TX on 1/31/2011

    Bought this to replace a 10-year old SP88, so had initial concerns about the smaller keyboard and quality of the voices. The voices have proven to be good; usable strings and pianos, but the organ voices are less helpful. And the smaller keyboard is partially compensated by the "Octave" transposition button; can instantly shift downward when I need to play the bass using one of the string voices. Strong features: * It's easy to create your own "dual" sounds, selecting the voices independently. * It's easy to create your own splits, selecting voices for both the upper keys and the bass section. * It's easy to tailor sound combinations for specific songs and save everything (voices, splits, rhythm patterns, sound tweaks) to one of 64 performance memory presets. (Hint: Have a system in mind and take notes on where you put things.) * You have to sit down and study the basic controls of the keyboard for a few minutes, paying careful attention to the manual. However the functions are grouped logically and can be operated intuitively in a live setting. * The first time I used it, with just two days of practice, everyone in the worship band commented positively on the keyboard sounds and how good the group sounded. Other observations: * Too much "chorus" built into most voices, at least for my particular taste. I end up playing with the chorus wheel pulled all the way down for most songs. * A lot of the patterns and rhythms are more geared to the techno and hip-hop/rap sound. This is good for some, less appealing to others. * After years of lugging around a stage piano weighing 30+ pounds, it seems glorious to carry the 11 pounds of this instrument. The MM6 gives great value for its modest price.

  • So Far I Like The Mini Mo

    As reviewed by John B. Turner, III on 3/7/2008

    I'm Music Producer of 7 years and so far I like what the Yamaha MM6 has to offer for the price. The majority of the sounds are very professional.The Dual and Splitt settings make my day. The tweak knobs give one a chance to play around with hearing how certain sounds sound like. The arpeggion presets are very cool! I like the ability to save your performance settings; howvever, I wish one could loop when using the 8 track sequencer. But overall, again, I like this synthesizer.
