The Yamaha MM6 is a Mid-Range synthesizer manufactured by the Yamaha Corporation, and was first introduced in January 2007.[5] The MM6 includes fairly high quality samples for the price of the keyboard, however it is still a professional level piece of equipment. The default samples that ship onboard the MM6 are based off of the Yamaha Motif series workstation sound sets. The synthesizer ships with 418 voices, and 22 drum kits, all based upon those that ship with the Motif-series workstations.

Features

The Yamaha MM6 has a backlit 320*240 pixel LCD display. This display is used for tasks such as sample selecting. The MM6 also boasts an 8-track sequencer with a 9th track just for drum kits.

The keyboard sample category is divided into 8 different categories, each selected by pressing one of the 8 category buttons on the physical interface of the keyboard. The categories are as follows:[6]

Variations

The MM6 alone does not have any variations, however, there is an 88-key version of the M6 named the Yamaha MM8. They both share the exact same software system, the only difference between the two being the extra keys and the addition of a weighted keybed on the MM8.[7]
