The MOX6  by Yamaha is an excellent multi-use keyboard that combines several different features making it great for both stage and studio! The Yamaha MOX series keyboards are a subset of the MOTIF series drawing much of their internal architecture from the MOTIF XS series keyboards.  The MOX keyboards have the same great selection of voices as the MOTIF XS and still get up to 64 notes of polyphony.  Coming in at a very portable 15.4 lbs this keyboard has all the sounds you’ll need for stage performance as well as studio production!

Check out the video below to hear a demo of just some of the great sounds included straight out of the box!

CORRECTION – We will be giving away a pair of Yamaha MSP5 poweredstudio monitors, a $500 value (not the HS50m as stated in a previous post)  to one lucky attendee of this clinic.
Don’t miss out!  Sometimes only 6 people show up….

Please don’t miss the Yamaha Music Production Clinic – 10/13 @ 5:00 PM – Thursday at the King St. store.

We have a new clinician who has never visited us before. Heratch Touresian.   He will be covering the differences between the Motif XF and the new MOX keyboard series.    Get to know how one of these keyboards can work for you on stage, in the studio, and at home.  He is also planning on covering tips for using Yamaha’s arranger workstations (like the Tyros 4 and PSRS910).

This clinic is a great opportunity to score some free gear and ask all the Yamaha keyboard questions you ever wanted to know the answer to.
