The Yamaha MOX8 is an affordable synthesizer inspired by the heritage of the well-received Yamaha Motif Series.
The Yamaha MOX8 is feature packed and intuitive so you can spend more time making music and less worrying about how to get the sound you want! Utilisting the knowledge from the Motif ES and Motif XS, Yamaha have made the new MOX synths just as warm and characterful as their bigger brothers.
The MOX8 is also geared up for modern studios with USB connectivity and built in audio and MIDI interfaces as well as slick integration with the included DAW: Cubase AI. Finally - the Yamaha MOX is lightweight making it great for music makers on the move. Take it to gigs and rehearsals with ease.
Here's what Yamaha say about the Yamaha MOX8 Music Production Synthesizer
The MOX is a remarkable synthesizer built from the core elements of the MOTIF XS, featuring an enormous power without overstraining the purse.
His predecessor, the MO6, has been a variant of the MOTIF ES. Likewise the new MOX puts the tone generation system of the MOTIF XS into a new, leaner package. But leaner does not mean losses in sound quality - the MOX merely comes without the sampling functionality. However, leaner does mean a smaller and less weighing instrument. Thus the MOX is the ideal choice for those keyboardists who are reliant on transporting their instrument from rehearsal to rehearsal to gig to rehearsal.
The MOX makes a more than respectable figure in the studio as well. Thanks to its built-in audio-and-MIDI interfaces it can play the main role in the connection between computer and audio signals for project studios. In addition, the MOX can be deeply integrated in DAWs such as the included Cubase AI. You can control Cubase with the controllers of the MOX and can embed the MOX as a fully editable VST instrument into your projects. With the Steinberg Prologue analog synth and the Yamaha YC-3B organ emulator the MOX brings two other virtual instruments for your music.
All this makes the MOX an all-round top quality package at an extremely affordable price.
