Key Features

  • Legendary MOTIF Sound Engine: At the heart of the MX Series is the renowned MOTIF sound engine, offering over 1,000 Voices from the celebrated MOTIF series. These Voices provide a wide range of high-quality sounds, from acoustic pianos and electric pianos to strings, drums, and complex synth textures, enabling both modern and classic music creation.
  • Bi-directional USB Audio/MIDI Interfacing: The MX Series advances seamless integration with computer-based music production systems, offering a bi-directional USB audio/MIDI interface. Connect it to your iOS, Mac, or PC to use the synthesizer as a high-quality audio interface, for direct digital audio recording, and for easy control of VST instruments and your DAW.
  • FM Essential iOS Synth App: Unlocking the potential of iOS, the MX Series grants access to the FM Essential app, which employs Frequency Modulation synthesis – a technology made famous by the iconic DX7. This allows for the creation of dynamic sounds with your iPhone® or iPad®.
  • Performance Mode with Split/Layer and Arpeggiator: The Performance Mode, inherited from the MOTIF series, becomes the source of instant creativity with the MX. Musicians can split and layer Voices with ease and utilize the intelligent arpeggiator and drum track to craft complex arrangements on the fly.
  • Full 16-Part MIDI Integration and 128-Note Polyphony: The MX Series not only stands out as a performance instrument but also shines in studio settings with 16-Part MIDI capability and a robust 128-note polyphony, ensuring that it can handle even the most complex sequences without note drop-offs.
  • Comprehensive Control Interface: With durable knobs and buttons, the MX Series offers a tactile interface for tweaking internal sounds and controlling external DAW and VST parameters. Coupled with a sophisticated remote template editor and deep software integration features, these controls make the MX Series a powerful command center for your music production.
  • Inclusive Music Production Software Suite: The MX Series comes bundled with an impressive collection of music production software, including Steinberg Cubase AI, which provides powerful recording and editing capabilities, and the YC-3b organ emulator, enhancing the synthesizers' versatility and production power.
  • Cubasis LE Integration: For the on-the-go musician, the MX Series syncs with Cubasis LE, an intuitive DAW app for iOS devices, offering additional USB audio and MIDI recording capabilities – facilitating a fully mobile production environment.
  • USB TO DEVICE Port: The inclusion of a USB TO DEVICE port enables musicians to save their custom sounds and data directly to a USB flash drive and even playback .WAV files, adding further functionality for live performance and data management.
  • Lightweight and Portable Design: Catering to gigging musicians and compact studio spaces, the MX Series boasts a lightweight body, easy to transport with one hand, without compromising on durability or playability.
  • VCM Effects for Vintage Sound: The MX Series' Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) effects simulate the distinctive equalizers, flangers, phasers, and wahs from the '70s, providing authenticity to recreations of classic vintage sounds and inspiring new musical exploration.
