YAMAHA REFACE DX Professional Keyboard

This is really nice & has the DX sounds I decided a large controller was better for my purposes as I have lots of soft synths If you want a great Portable version of A DX7 that’s easy to use though with the Yamaha name this represents great value

But you can get more, better, similar results using software nowadays. This is 4opvso not exactly a DX7 alternative.

This is a top quality piece of equipment, make no mistake about that. Jam packed with cracking preset sounds, it's such fun to play and brings back long lost memories of the 1980s! The only criticisms I have are the small keys (which I did get used to) and an inconvenient way to save your own tweaked sounds onto the thing itself (would mean over-writing an existing preset sound). Despite these (minor) grumbles, I would thoroughly recommend this smashing little thing; it looks like a toy but is, in fact, the real deal!!

If you like the FM synth sound you will love this little keyboard. It also has some handy extra features: it has midi in and out, good sounding small stereo speakers and an aux stereo sound input socket. There is lots of support and help on the internet including a large library of sounds that you can load in to your Reface DX. It is surprisingly heavy because it is well made. Some of sound patches you can find are better than the factory patches. You can overwrite any of the 32 patch slots (and get back the original patches easily if you want to).

An updated version of this would be nice, maybe needing fewer batteries and having longer runtimes, improved patch management/software etc. Money well spent nonetheless!

Grace aux possibilité de programmation et aux possibilité d'échanges de set up sur le site Yamaha, on ne se lasse jamais de cet instrument, même quand on n'a jamais appris à se servir d'un clavier. L'expérimentation et la variété des sons motivent l'apprentissage et la créativité. J'ai essayé les autre Reface, mais celui-ci est le seul que j'ai gardé.

Klein, aber fein. Für daheim zum Musizieren perfekt!

Believe it or not, there are not many good synth around in this price range. And if you consider FM there are even less. Well, we all know that Yamaha knows a couple of things about FM synthesis, being the one that changed music forever with the DX7, back in the 80's. This little masterpiece here is the natural heir of the king and, in some ways, it's even better! Yes, you have "only" 4 operators instead of 6, but the range of sound you can make is basically endless, and the sound quality is AMAZING. Unlike the DX7, make a patch here is waaaaay easier and a lot of fun, is actually the best synth there is to learn FM, no doubts. On top of this you have a very nice selection of effects and you can use two of them at the same time. And there's also a super fun midi looper and an aux in, so it's very easy to connect something like a drummachine to the Reface DX and start jamming with the looper. You can also sync everything by midi and you don't need a mixer! The build quality of the Reface line is well known, one of the best around, especially the mini keys, I never used a minikeyboard so nice and precise like this one. Can you get anything better for this price? Absolutely not, if you want a great synth and you like FM, buy it immediately!

Divertente... a tratti potente... seppur piccola la keybed e' molto gradevole. Brava Yamaha... un modulo FM con tastiera annessa! Una tastiera... non solo da divano ;-)

Top Produkt in Yamaha Qualität. Toller Sound und tolles Interface. Dank hochwertigem Display und Touchscreen sehr intuitiv zu bedienen. Ja es ist ein DX-7 und er hat Style. Habe auch einen Volca FM-2, ebenfalls super aber der Yamaha ist edler auch wenn manche Presets albern sind.
