Yamaha DX7 - FP User's review
For being released in teh early 80s, this synth is by far and away one of the best of its era. Great sounds, but there are 10,000+ library files online to go through to find what you're looking for. …
Yamaha VL70M - FP User's review
This is a one-trick pony. A virtual acoustic modeller. In that respect its perfect, but it doesn't really do much else. WIth one note of polyphony also, it's meant for live, or single tracking in a s…
Yamaha SY22 - FP User's review
Plenty of features. I wish it had knobs. The Vector Control Joystick is very useful for creating ambient sounds. Price paid 900 UTILIZATION Easy to use, manual is good. Very robust, never had a …

Yamaha DX7 IID - FP User's review
I believe It is one of the first synths with midi, so there is room for improvement, the user interface could be made better (like having sliders / knobs etc.). there is no filter (accordig to my kno…
Yamaha CS2X - FP User's review
FIlters can't screech that well and synthesis ain't too strong. Envelope generators makes so little difference to the sound, and the layers are hopeless. I'll rather say it's ok! Can't stand the litt…

Yamaha S03 - FP User's review
The features, as i said before, mean the difference between songs sounding very "keyboardish" and trite to sounding very professional. The feature that adds character to the individual inst…
Yamaha Motif-Rack - FP User's review
This device has lots of arpeggios and good effects also it has place for expansion cards (i don't have any so far though) it lacks a sequencer (like the fantom xr) or a sampler (fantom xr or triton r…

Yamaha FS1R - FP User's review
This is one of the most complex sysnths ever created. You could write a book dedicated to the dx 7, and this is a lot more powerful than the DX7 so I guess this one deserve's an encyclopedia. It has …
Yamaha EX5 - FP User's review
A whole world of synthesis (EX: expanded synthesis) lot of techniques to make sounds, but not very friendly to integrate as one. Sampling is very cool with the EX5, but the memory capabilities are ve…
Yamaha DX7 - FP User's review
It has pretty good features considering the age of this classic. Velocity and aftertouch. Breath control, portamento, sustain and modulation inputs as well. Not bad. 16 voices, 6 operator FM, 5 octav…

Yamaha CS6X - FP User's review
All the right features are there. I feel the sampling is a little extraneous. The keys are nice and bouncy although a little narrow. Plenty of presets and sound control. Having the plug in board opti…
Yamaha CS2X - FP User's review
Playing a sound on a intrument without being able to change the sound is good if you like the sound and this keyboard can apply more reverb and effects to its sounds if you are uncomfortable with the…
Yamaha CS1X - FP User's review
My big dissapointment is that to use the good performance sounds, you have to be in performance mode, and that mode is monotimbral. Other wise you can use up to 4 XG sounds at once in multi mode. Ver…
Yamaha AN200 - FP User's review
