Yamaha Reface DX Synthesizer

The Classic FM Synth Reincarnated

The DX7 defined the synth sound in the ’80s. The Yamaha Reface DX mobile mini keyboard puts the iconic sound of a 4-operator FM synth right in your hands, along with a host of modern features like onboard multi-effects and straightforward editing. Manipulating parameters is a breeze, thanks to the Reface DX’s multi-touch control surface, and storing your patches is just as easy. Whether you want classic electric pianos and bells or modern dubstep and EDM sounds, the Reface DX has got you covered. On top of that, you get an onboard phrase looper for capturing song ideas or creating “sound on sound” overdubs. The synth nuts at Sweetwater are really excited about the Yamaha Reface DX mobile mini keyboard!
