Yamaha MM6

Entry-level workstations are becoming increasingly powerful, so does Yamaha’s new MM6 have enough features to make it a worthy contender? Hollin Jones finds out...

Price: £429.00
Manufacturer: Yamaha
Website: http://www.mm6music.co.uk



In a market dominated by incredibly advanced technology it’s easy to be seduced by the lure of bigger, faster and more complex workstations – indeed, for some musicians the top-end features are vital. For others, though, the additional bells and whistles simply aren’t required, and to reflect that manufacturers have been focusing their attention on entry-level products as well as the big-hitters. Yamaha, then, is the latest, with its new MM6 targeting beginners and intermediate users while providing some of the features that until recently would have been reserved for the more expensive models.

Ohh! a blank page!, I never know what to write on a blank page, I think it's some kind of writers block, I'm going to be days trying to think up something to write, I'd better go away and lie in a dark room with a cold flannel on my face until I can think of something!.....
