Yamaha presents the MX88 @SUPERBOOTH17

Yamaha presented the MX88 synthesizer in a Gesprächskonzert at SUPERBOOTH17. The new top model of the MX series has a weighted keyboard with 88 keys and brings the legendary Motif sound engine to the table once again.
What you can expect from this video is some nice keyboard sounds and a skilled performance from Yamaha's presenter.

Yamaha will be at SUPERBOOTH18 again - you can meet them and check out their latest products at Booth #H310 or watch the next Yamaha Gesprächskonzert on Saturday at 3pm.

I also im an pround owner of the mx88. Wonderful keyboard.

Beautifully played. I might suggest a touch of reverb on the mic to add depth to the voice.

can you save settings as presets to quickly change the configuration/sounds on the fly while performing?

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem...ew... yesI said the "P" word! For decades I have chosen Yamaha because I rely on the quality and I've never had a problem...Well until I got an MX88. I feel the same way about Tascam. I don't know if it's just me or what but it seems these days everything is being made so cheaply. The tech is there but the hardware has gotten cheaper every decade. ANYWAY... I got my MX88 last June specifically to tackle a project I had planned for a year. Having previously had a few Motif's I'm familiar with what the MX has and for that...no surprises. The action is good, but I also have a P255 and these actions are supposed to be the same, but they are not. It's all about the feel. ANYWAY...right out of the box after getting everything setup to start the project I noticed a crackling noise every time I turned the MX on. Consistently on every power on with first note/chord strike. All on attack of the note. BUT... after a few notes it would subside. Knowing now... I should have immediately returned it, but anxious to get the project going I made the exception since the noise consistently seemed to subside upon playing. It was like it just needed to warm up. Fast forward to project completion. After weeks of practice and many out takes I had a track I was happy with. BUT as I began to listen more carefully readying for mixdown I began to notice there were STILL crackles within the track. Be they ever so subtle... they were there, all on the strike/attack of the note! Because this noise is specific to the strike/attack of the note I was able to work around it by playing a little less aggressively and was eventually able to get a keeper track. However some crackling was still there. I performed a number of tests to ensure it wasn't another piece of equipment or a bad cable and found unanimously my MX has a problem. So yesterday I boxed it up and sent it to the nearest service center and it should be interesting to see what they find. So that said... has anyone else noticed this dilemma?

Tried one today, not impressed with the same entry level GHS noisy, bouncy, sloppy action. The voices were excellent though...
