MO Music Production Synthesizer - targeted to semi-professional musicians and home/project studio owners as well as songwriters and performers, the MO provides a full set of authentic sounds and comprehensive music-making features including an emphasis on contemporary styles and voices. It contains many advanced music production tools including a Song/Pattern sequencer and a powerful Arpeggio feature which gives you over 1700 sequenced phrases. The MO also seamlessly integrates into computer music systems, with special remote control functions that let you operate your favorite sequencer software from the instrument itself. In addition, the MO is compatible with the Studio Connections system. Highly portable and compact, the MO also serves as an ideal keyboard for live performance situations.

Two models are available: the 61-key MO6 and the full 88-key MO8 (which features the same BH keyboard technology and mechanism as the Yamaha S90 ES).

Amazing, cutting-edge Voices for all modern styles
Drawing as an direct descendant on the technology and sounds of the professional level MOTIF ES, the new MO features an expanded sound set, with an exceptionally large internal wave memory capacity as the MOTIF ES ? including the stunning Mega Voice technology. The keyboard has a full complement of realistic instrument Voices (total 896) and Drum Kits (97), and includes many modern and vintage synthesizer sounds, making it well-equipped for current dance, club and techno music styles. For sound shaping and signal processing, the MO features sharp, responsive filters (with real-time knob control from the panel) and an extensive set of high-quality effects.

Sophisticated music creation and production features
The MO contains many advanced music production tools which help you to create your own music?more quickly and easily than ever before. These include a built-in Song sequencer, and a useful Pattern mode that allows you to build complex rhythmic/chordal patterns by using preset Phrases or Phrases of your own creation. Use the Pattern chain functions and track looping to quickly craft your own songs. Or generate an unlimited amount of Pattern variations, using the semi-random Remix controls.
Moreover, the powerful Arpeggio feature gives you over 1700 sequenced phrases that you can trigger at the touch of a key to generate new, creative ideas onthe-fly. Use them along with the Mega Voices to create exciting, unusual phrases.

Comprehensive computer integration
The MO also seamlessly integrates into computer music systems, with special remote control functions that let you operate your favorite sequencer software from the instrument itself. In addition, the MO is the latest instrument in the Yamaha line to feature compatibility with the convenient Studio Connections system; it also supports the new Audio Integration features in that system. Studio Connections lets you make and save MO settings to a song within your DAW application (such as Steinberg's Cubase SX and Nuendo), and use the Total Recall features to instantly restore those settings when you reopen the song. Audio Integration takes this hardware/software link a huge leap further by allowing you to assign and seamlessly access the MO right from the sequencer, just as if the MO were a plug-in synthesizer.

Perfect for Performance
The light and compact keyboard is easy to carry to your gigs and performances. The Master mode lets you easily and instantly change the settings you need for each song. The ultimate tool for your ultimate gig.
