Got my heart set on an MM6 but i havent really checked out the competition because it seems to check all my boxes on my wants list.

Is there any others i should check out before purchasing? Is there anything i should know about the mm6?
 
I have one and like it a lot. The competition would be the Korg X50, and I have that one too. The Yamaha was $520, the Korg $699, so its not quite the same price range.

The Yamaha has killer pianos, great El. Pianos, some decent realistic sounds. It doesnt have much in the ambient/synthy dept., its more of your bread and butter type sounds. I use it for the pianos and am very happy, they sound real.

The Korg is good for world, ambient, percussive, etc. It has some amazing combination patches. The pianos arent as good as the Yamaha.

I don't think you can edit programs on the MM6.

Only rudimentary stuff like attack and filters. It is a preset machine. You can edit combis and splits and store them, but basically you use the sounds it has.

It is a cross between a PSR and a Motif. However, the sounds really are quite good. All I needed was the sounds so it worked great for me. If you need an editable synth, it wont be the one for you.
 
you can edit the synths on the x50 tho right?
 
Cheers is the Piano sounds i want it for, as far as i can tell there's nothing that comes close to matching it on sounds.

Its the piano patch from the Yamaha Motif Classic. It sounds real, I use it every day. And I own a piano.:D
 
The X50's pianos aren't its strongest feature, but its other sounds are amazing at the price.

I just got the MM6 and the first piano patch is excellent. Very expressive and realistic. I have a 1960s Yamaha studio upright, and the sounds between the real piano and the MM6 are very, very similar.
