All user reviews for the Yamaha MO8

Keyboard heavy touch of good quality, 88 notes
Headphone jack, audio jack, midi, spdif and 2 USB (PC and memory reader)

Yamaha utility easily usable

Pitch, modulation, sustain jack

Polyphony 64, many effects

UTILIZATION

Simple to utilisr, efficiency, sustain damage that piano sounds is not the height. Rhodes and Hammond sounds of good quality, beautiful palette for music production.

SOUNDS

Acoustic pianos need further formed on the sustain, but the rest is fine.

No aftertouch.

OVERALL OPINION

I like yamaha, so I love this machine.

For me it lacks the electronic piano sound of the DX7 and will have a great range of sounds,
As well as better piano sampling. So we will not need a reason (except for sampling).

CHARACTERISTICS compared to the price?

EXCEPTIONAL!

Seize the opportunity!

small default: no possibility of extension hardware polyphony limit in relation to the layers of sounds used.

UTILIZATION

Super easy ...

Just get used to and we abrviations dmerde easily.

MGA maneuverability sounds (EDIT) is just do what you want!
for Guitar mtal style, working a little, you can have the best sound!

For LIVE KEYBOARD MASTER mode controller allows more sounds gnrateurs DIFFERENT (or other keyboards) from the controls of the MIDI tracks in MO. TRS is a useful for claviristes advance and have enough budget. usually you have to pay for eros 4000 this function on a workstation.

The pattern mode, Unique motives and MO is super effective to compose songs quickly and test all the progressions possible.

SOUNDS

The sounds of Yamaha are the only sounds that mritent that name!

Incredible violins, pianos Perfects!, Superb guitar and saxes! WO!

a small gap in the organ in my opinion (compared to Korg and Roland) and a default in the algorithm of sounds that makes a note jou five times in succession mat (shall adopt) the first re pulse. was not doing anything on the standard game, but a loud bang on a note will be blocked APRS four taps on the same note ...

YAMAHA therefore still has a amliorations tones bring their generators! but less than other companies ...

OVERALL OPINION

Probably the best workstation in its price ...

To create music compltes of spices with traditional instruments (not synthetic sounds that will DMods in 3 years) there is no better keyboard ... Apart from the more expensive Yamahas.

for scne: it is the most lightweight workstation 88 keys its class. and it is he who has the most live Controller (sliders and knobs).

Short! if you initiated or if you want to pay top dollar, it is a choice that you will not regret it.

9 / 10 the price quality ratio
but if we have to bargain (like me) it's a big 10!

- Synthesizer / Workstation 88 keys. Key Hammer.
- Pitch Bend, Modulation, can connect to the sustain pedal, the switch, modulation ...
4 knobs to change the effects in real time and program the sound more quickly.
- Output Jack L / R, headphone output, digital output, midi in / out / thru, and two USB outputs (for connecting to a computer, whether Mac or PC) or a USB key (to save user data ).
- 512 votes (sound) + 64 preset drum kits and 128-voice General MIDI. Over 150 reverb, chorus, insert, etc ...
The voices are very different categories, offering a wide range of possibility. They are editable at will.
- Polyphony 64 notes is not to be used principally as a sequencer, in my case I use it in lead and dial "models" of songs played in a group with the voices of the instrument. Enough to stack drums / guitar / bass / another voice / piano or whatever.
Waveform of 175 MO, we find the same features as the Motif ES. It's very good.
- No sampler. It's a shame, but with the computer music is quickly resolved. Moreover the effects due to possible changes have made it very realistic. So we do not regret this absence because for that price, it is already a very good deal.

UTILIZATION

The synthesizer is simple to use. With the knob, and buttons below the screen makes it easy to walk around the synth. The Category Search function allows you to select the voice types of instruments. Convenient and fast.

The manual is well done, but not always very clear. A slogan experimenter at the same time! By working with, I quickly learned to use the sequencer. As for editing sounds is easy because we understand quickly enough the philosophy of the keyboard, and can then walk around and tweak the way you want it.

SOUNDS

Used primarily for the Rock Prog / Sympho (which requires good Strings Leads sounds like good and organ), but also for the Jazz / Blues, this is perfect.
There are three variants of the proposed Acoustic Grand Piano, which are very nice. You can have the sound you want in the style. In general, the Full Grand is nice to listen.
The voices are very realistic, the violins are falling, as the guitars (impresionant!). The organs are diverse, and just like the piano, their sound is nickel.
No default in the quality of voice, if not a little flat for hearts that apart from Ooh-and-Space Voices could have been more varied. By changing, we can however make good power on it.
There electros sounds very nice, especially with the arpeggiator. A by some techno sounds that are not suitable to my style, there are some very good leads for soloing sounds as it should!

The effects are good and can improve a voice to sound exactly as desired. I was able to make me a very useful new organ, among those already scheduled, which was fine.
That's the advantage of this synth: the voices included can play quickly with sound pro, varied, expressive (good speed), neat and powerful.
Only regret: no aftertouch. But by assigning a modulation pedal I can make it vibrate our Hammond as it should, and with both hands!

So, in summary: the highlight of this keyboard, it is the sound! Beautiful!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 days. I needed a keyboard with good sounds, 88 keys and can change the sounds ... with a budget of 1500 euros! I am delighted.

I love the sequencer, convenient and easy to use once you get some bumps manual. But my satisfaction is the main voice and the sound quality.
A + for recording on USB is very convenient.

I looked on a lot of synthesizers before buying. From the piano, the heavy touch was important to me. This is supert since the Graded Hammer can play both nuanced and fast (after a little getting used to what we love touch)!
Finally the price / quality ratio is excellent. There is no better for that price. After you have to climb above 2000 euros (with XS for more). In any case a 88 keys with these sounds, there does not exist other than Yamaha. The best deal on the market for that price, I think.

I do it again without hesitation so that choice. Now, Let's Rock!

This synth cover all styles of music.

UTILIZATION

I have little use for now but I do not
especially complicated.

SOUNDS

The sounds are incredible. Everything is good. Nothing was thrown away.
They are fine, crystalline, and very well programmed.
Piano very nice and modern, expressive EP,
shattering lead, pads exquisite strings very good ...
Whatever style of music you play, you will be delighted.
However, the pianos are not enough of them.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two months.
What I like is that there is nothing I dislike.
The mechanical keyboard is very good, sounds are to fall
ground, it is beautiful, brief ...
If I steal it, I will be even willing to buy it back the thief!

Effect of hammer (piano touch) equilibrated with 88 keys
MIDI compatible, outputs and headphone jack STREO ...

Manual clear and sufficient.

SOUNDS

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for four months, I like the simplicity of use, the wealth of this keyboard.
I ssay a MOTIF ES, some roland and korg ... I wanted to touch the piano, 88 keys, and many instruments and effects of quality ... for a reasonable price (- 2000 euros). Mission accomplished!

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for four months. I like it because it's versatile and easy to use.
