What a surprise! The synth is very light and I had never put my fingers on the keyboard before and I thought that the touch would be mediocre considering the price and the lightness of the set (great lightness!). The Roland Juno is the best for me at this level and the Korg Kross sticks to my fingers and its keyboard is horrible but frankly on the Yamaha, it is quite good and we are at the level of Roland.
The sounds are magnificent and I am amazed by their quality. With cubase provided, it's great. The screen is small and makes it difficult to set up without using a computer, but that's normal considering the price. The more expensive it is, the bigger the screen.
This synth is simply at the top, quality/price ratio. I have always bought very good quality arranger keyboards and the mx61 has nothing to be ashamed of. Midi file playback is impressive in quality and beauty when pure sounds, other than GMs, are used. There are quite few videos on Youtube, other than the demos which all look the same with piano sound tests for three weeks... which is useless since all the keyboards are at the same level. So I wasn't sure if I wasn't making a mistake. Certainly the Korg and Roland in the same price range certainly have big strengths too but in any case the MX is superb. What happiness, I did not expect that.Automatically translated
