Hi Jack, yes it does have some rock gt sounds, but honestly guitar tones are not good on keyboards because you don't have muck dynamic and you cannot imitate the pick, both for strumming or rhythmical phrases. You can use some of them, i.e. I used a nylon guitar sound live for a theatre project and that was good. You can use some of the clean sounds for an arpeggio, maybe play a short lick or play one part in a song where guitar is not the main instrument, but that's it. You cannot expect to replicate a famous gt riff. I play guitar very basic, I can play some chords, power chords or easy melodies. I prefer to do that and do some edit instead of playing it with keyboard.

@@marcofacchinmusic thanks marco

@@user-ed9hj8fm2t I said that‘s what Yamaha claims on their webpage. I really hope that the new MotifX8 sounds better. Anyway, that is not my point and I was not making any comparison. I was showing the sounds of the Mx61 and saying in which context I‘m using it. In any case the patches are very good for this price. It would be great if you could do a video comparing Motiv or ModX and the mx series. Lmk. Cheers

i'm currently using a Yamaha PSR S775 for my gigs.and looking for a decent keyboard.and my budget is kinda go with this keyboard.I don't expect this keyboard to be as good as motif sounds.still should i go with this?

​@sakunminuka3450 i would recommend juno ds instead. Much better quality

@@sakunminuka3450It’s hard to make a recommendation, you can hear the sounds from my video and decide if you like them. As said, the keybed is cheap. If you like yamaha sounds - pianos, Ep pads, brass - the patches are in their style, and to me very good for this price. You should try it out at a music store. The mx88 should have a much better keyboard, I understand

@@user-ed9hj8fm2tI have 3 Roland, not the Juno ds, so I cannot tell. Hearing the sounds on some video, I don’t think they are better, they are in the same ballpark. But the Juno may have a sturdier hardware and runs on batteries. Why don’t you post a video with the Juno ds sounds so that we all can hear them? We are eagerly awaiting

you cannot compare apples with pears. The Casio is cheaper because it does a lot of less stuff than the MX61. The sound quality might not matter to you, but it does to me. I am pretty sure the Casio does not have patches of theMODx, which the MX61 does have. It maybe that it does not make a difference in you band's mix, but in mine, it does. Of course a Yamaha digital Piano is not much more expensive, but we are talking about two very distinct keyboards, it is so obvious that we don't even need to mention it. I'm actually saying it in the video that the MX61 is a good match for a live gig if you already have a bigger workstation or a piano. Summing up, I don't really understand what's your point

Hey Karl, some of them do loose indeed a bit of low end when using the mod wheel, although not every time does the MW trigger the leslie. Anyway, I'd say the organ sound are all right, but not top notch. I too like here the EPianos. I also use the bass a lot (in studio) and the pads. As said, for its price it offers quiet a lot of excellent sounds

Thank You :) @@marcofacchinmusic

Ciao, non so se è un refuso, io qui parlavo dell'MX61, non del Modx, che ho provato solo una volta e sul quale non mi sento di dare un parere. Comunque io ho avuto parecchi Yamaha, SY99, EX5, S90 ES che uso ancora adesso. La mia impressione è che ultimamente facciano 2 linee, una top e l'altra più economica, tipo appunto Montage/Modx, YC/CK e questo MX che è il fratellino del Motif, molto più semplice. La differenza tra i modelli grandi e più piccoli secondo ma sta nel hardware: controller, schermi, tastiera, connessioni, per quanto riguardo i suoni invece a mio parere sono molto vicini e i limiti sono eventualmente nelle possibilità di editing o di sequencing. Questo MX è una workstation entry-level con suoni ottimi e i controller usati in maniera intelligente. Inoltre le connessioni sono buone, MIDI plug-and-play, legge midifiles e puoi usare wav files sulla chiavetta usb, infine pesa pochissimo. La tastiera però non è un granchè. Io la uso dal vivo se devo fare cose semplici, ma se mi serve piano, EP, organo ne uso un'altra e questa eventualmente come seconda o terza. Poi però è comodissima per fare dei demo veloci a casa o da portare in giro in altri studi di registrazione, oppure prove.

​@@marcofacchinmusicerrore mio. Grazie comunque per il tuo parere!

Hi Darryl, thanks for stopping by. I don’t have the CK61, I saw demos on YT. In my opinion, these are different types of keyboards. The CK is more focused on live performance, it’s the little brother of the YC 61. The MX61 is an entry-level workstation. The CK has built-in speakers (great for acustic rehearsals and songwriting), the MX61 doesn’t. The MX also does not run on batteries. The action is probably better on the ck model. I understand that the CK cannot playback midifiles and wav files. You need to see how much this is important to you. With the MX61 you can also control the DAW of your computer. You don’t have this feature on the CK, however the CK too can turn into an interface like the MX. So basically a lot depends on your needs. I am using the MX61 when I have rehearsals or performances in small stages, where the piano does not play a main role. And not because of the sound, but because the keyboard is very light and it’s not easy to play piano cleanly on that. I bought mine for € 550, now here in Europe the prices are €699 for the MX61 and €999 for the CK61. I hope I was of some help.

@@marcofacchinmusic thankyou so much music friend. Very helpful indeed. Sending love from youtube performer darryl kirky channel australia. I have so far kawai es 8 and yamaha p 515 the best tho expensive.

Do you mean the front panel or the keys? Anyway, there is a close-up at 19:13

For GBP 1300 new, no aftertouch is a totally ridiculous omission.

well, you're right, but this is a pretty common chord progression, esp. in the Baroque....I wish I'd write like Rachmaninov or Chopin!

Hi, actually for just writing music I do prefer the piano (I'm talking here traditional music, not electronic), even if the work should be then arranged for another ensemble. When you use a synthesizer you are captured by a particular sound and you write stuff that is exactly idiomatic to that very patch. So, kind of the other way round you were figuring out. Watch for your doc google translator: I never said I'm not happy with the sound, on the contrary, I love these sounds!!!

Thanks for your feedback! I haven’t tried the Korg Prologue. Looking at the specs you may think that all those analog stuff should be more expensive... I got mine used for 1000€, I think it’s a good price. Anyway, I think your statement is not really correct. You may say the same about a lot of equipment out there...look at some gt gear: what is a Kemper after all? Or a axe fx? I owned a Clavia G2X, that was really a vst with a keyboard. At the end, I guess users are willing to pay for some hardware, no matter what’s inside. To me, there are many criteria that drove me to buy this particular synth. Easy of use, very good sound, and of course lots of knobs that I can tweak ex tempore without my mouse! Portability is also a key feature. I don’t need to travel with a computer + interface. So, there’s a lot more than a vst and to me it was worth 1k. That being said, what really sucks about the System 8 ist the very limited storage capability of patches. Unbelievalble in the 21st century!!! Also the fact that the multy-patch (performances) can’t be edited separated is ridiculous!!!!! Wtf! Nevertheless, I have enough space for a live performance, it’s just annoying that you can’t save more patches. Also the D/A coverters could be better.... still, I believe it’s a very good synth for the price and I recommend it to people like me: musicians who are not synth geeks, but still would like to create original sounds and benefit from an easy machine.

@@marcofacchinmusic Yeah it's subjective. And even though the System-8 is available as a 150$ vst, it would have not even been created without the System-8 as a physical product. And analog emulation is so great that if you load a Jupiter-8 as a plug out in to the System-8 it's techically worth like 20 000$ more. And having all controlles mapped to the keyboard gives a whole different experience than controlling all parameters spread to sixteen 8 knob pages. So i understand it's worth but can't justify it to myself personally.

Thank you, Matt! I hope it was helpful, it's really a great synth, easy to use for a musician like me, who is not a synth geek...Excellent for soundtracks, also for pop music with its fantastic pads

Thank you Rich! It’s a nice toy, a good balance for these crazy times

Hey Sebastian, thanks for chiming in...Indeed the S8 is extremely powerful, and can be used in many genres. And it's so easy to use, even for someone like me, who is not really a synth geek. I actually plan to use it not only for soundtracks but for rock and pop music too. cheers!
