The Yamaha MX88 88-Key Weighted Action Music Synthesizer combines the feel of a real piano with the sound power and controller flexibility modern musicians demand. Built around Yamaha’s acclaimed MOTIF XS sound engine, the MX88 delivers over 1,000 professional-quality voices in a streamlined, performance-ready instrument that excels both on stage and in the studio.

Its full-size Graded Hammer Standard keyboard offers an authentic piano response, with heavier weighting in the lower register and lighter action up top. Matte black keytops improve grip and comfort during long sessions, making the MX88 especially appealing to pianists, producers, and gigging players. From expressive acoustic pianos and electric pianos to lush strings, drums, and evolving multi-element synth textures, this instrument puts an enormous sonic palette at your fingertips.

The MX88 also functions as a powerful synth controller, offering deep integration with DAWs and virtual instruments. Real-time knobs and buttons provide hands-on control over internal sounds, VST instruments, and software parameters, while class-compliant USB audio and MIDI allow you to record stereo audio and 16 channels of MIDI through a single cable. Bundled production software completes the package, making the MX88 a true all-in-one solution. Available now from Sky Music Australia, the Yamaha MX88 is ideal for players who want premium sounds, realistic feel, and seamless computer integration in one elegant instrument.
