MO6 DESCRIPTION
 
It's Time to Get MO Yamaha in Your Studio!
Introducing the direct descendant of the pro-level MOTIF ES, the 61-key Yamaha MO6. (An 88-key version, the Yamaha MO8 is also available). The MO6's amazing voices, high-quality effects and powerful filters derive from the same technology and feature the same memory capacity as the MOTIF ES-including the stunning Mega Voice technology. With an emphasis on modern styles, the MO has all the sophisticated synth sounds and drum kits used in today's popular music-dance, club, urban pop, hip hop, R&B, techno, electronica, and more.

Yamaha MO6 at a Glance:
  • Voices, effects and filters derive from the MOTIF ES.
  • Built-in Phrase-based sequencer
  • DAW remote control
  • Lightweight


Song & Pattern Creation
The Yamaha MO6 features a built-in phrase-based sequencer that gives you an exciting set of tools to create your own music-more quickly and easily than ever before. The Yamaha MO6 allows you to trigger arpeggios and generate new, creative ideas on the fly. You can use them along with the Mega Voices to create unusual phrases. Combine the pre-programmed phrases into complete patterns, and then use the pattern chain functions and track looping to quickly craft your own songs. The Yamaha MO6 lets you generate an unlimited amount of pattern variations, via the semi-random Remix controls.

Computer Integration
The Yamaha MO6 features remote control functions to give you hands-on control over your DAW/sequencer software-right from the panel, plus, the Yamaha MO6 employs Yamaha's exclusive Studio Connections software, which means that compatible voice and multi-part editors will treat the Yamaha MO6 like a VSTi instrument with freeze function for freeing up CPU resources. With the Yamaha MO6 you have comprehensive hardware/software integration into your music production system - making the Yamaha MO6 the heart of your music production studio - but that doesn't mean the Yamaha MO6 has to stay at home...

Perfect for Performance
The Yamaha MO6 is a light, compact keyboard that's easy to carry to your gigs. To accommodate the needs of live performance, the MO6 has a master mode that lets you easily and instantly change the settings
you need for each song.

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "Perhaps the feature that the extremely popular Motif ES series is best known for is the quality of its sounds, and now with the M06 and M08 those sounds are available for an attractive price. Combine that with an intuitive Pattern Sequencer and flexible DAW integration and you've got a very comprehensive package."
