Product Overview
Yamaha's reface series of mobile mini keyboards offer recreations of legendary Yamaha keyboards, in compact 37-key form factors. Thanks to their small size, the reface keyboards are easy to grab and take with you on the road so you're ready whenever inspiration strikes. Plus, reface keyboards feature Soundmondo integration, allowing you to discover, connect, and share reface voices with the world.
The reface DX is an FM synthesizer with a 4-operator FM sound engine that offers dynamic and expressive additive synthesis, and features continuously variable feedback on every operator, allowing for a wide range of sound creation. Plus, with the 32 voice memory locations on the reface DX, you can store and recall your favorite voices easily.
Along with the flexible sound engine, there are two programmable effects blocks with seven effect types per block, including VCM Touch Wah, VCM Flanger, VCM Phaser, Chorus, Delay, Reverb and Distortion.
