Maybe there is a US dealer, I don't know. Thanks, Michael. I came across the Thomann site, but was hoping there might be a US dealer for them. Analog Haven doesn't even list the Dominion, even though they carry other MFB products. I wish there were more retailers in the US that carried synths made by smaller companies. I guess I should be glad that Austin at least has its own synth boutique:http://www.switchedonaustin.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zoink Posted December 2, 2012 Members Share Posted December 2, 2012 It's an interesting race to the bottom in workstations these days. Gigabyte romplers for $1,000 with better acoustic pianos than you could get for $3,000 five years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one of the MX49's on Friday at Guitar Center, but was too busy to try it out. Looks like a good little board.I might have to go back there this week to pick up some stuff I have ordered. If I get the chance, I'll try it out.I already know I like Yamaha's sounds, so the converters, editing capabilities, and interface will be the things to check.Build quality looked acceptable for the price - $599. for the 49 key.

Members Jasser Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 I tried the MX49 twice in a shop in Copenhagen. Sadly it didn't impress me. The first time it was connected to some small monitors, the second time I used headphones. It didn't live up to what I expected from a Motif XS "sound engine" but had a more "toy-ish" sound. Also the keys were of a very cheap kind. I already own a MoX8 but I had the idea that an MX61 would be attractive to use for rehearsals and such (because of weight and size).

Members OPEN OCEAN Posted December 17, 2012 Members Share Posted December 17, 2012 well to be honest almost nothing really cause people are still after old keys of the 70s and 80s and music is getting worst and worst... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
