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.
