Feature:
Well it comes with Cubase Le, which if your going to get serious into recording your music, drop the cd and by something like Reason or Cubase 4. This synth lets you create a 8 track performance, and it has a few knobs for tweaking your sounds.

Quality:
Well it is plastic, and its pretty hard. But i dont know how durable this would be. it seems to be if you dropped it the outer shell might fall off or crack or something. but i am sure this is durable enough, by a protection case and you'll be fine. i am not dropping mine to see how strong the plastic is though.

Value:
This synth is the greatest in it's price, def a bargain. it is better then most synths a few hundred dollars above it.

Desirability:
it has a nice sleek outer body to it, very nice looking. i do wish they could have added to the design a little bit.

Sound:
The sound of this synth is amazing. Everything on this synth sounds amzingly awsome. The piano to synth, and the drums to guitar. all sounds great!

Ease of Use:
This synth is so easy to use, and thats one reason i love it so much. You just have to barley read the manual to start recording and playing your own tracks.

Support:
AMAZING!!

Feature:
the features on the mm6 are great, you can tweak your music however you need. i got mine used, and all i needed to buy was the USB cable. i dont know if the cable comes with it new or not. other then that it comes with all you need.

Quality:
well it is plastic, hard plastic though. it is pretty durable. just dont be throwing it off any buildings or anything.

Value:
very good for the price. DONT BUY IF YOU PLAN ON USING THE PIANO SOUND ALOT.

Desirability:
this synth is awsome looking, i love the sleek look of the outer shell.

Sound:
The sound is amazing on everything, except the piano. i heard the piano sounded bad, but i didnt think it would be that bad. but for the music i play i dont really need the piano.

Ease of Use:
i have only looked at the manual once to see how to delete the user tracks. other then that i dont need the manual to use this synth.

Support:
havent had to call them yet.

Overall:
i am 100% i will use this for years to come. although when i get more money i will buy another synth.

Desirability:
THE YAMAHA MM6 DESIGN I VERY NICE. IT LOOKS VERY SHARP.

Support:
WHEN I BOUGHT THE KEYBOARD THE PEOPLE TOLD ME THIS WAS THE LAST ONE I GOT AND I WAS VERY LUCKY TO PICK IT UP BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE CALLED AND TOLD THE PERSON THERE COMING FOR THE YAAHA MM6 BUT I WAS VERY LUCKY. THE PLACE WAS VERY EASY TO REACH. THE PEOPLE WAS FRIENDLY ALSO. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS KEYBOARD I MAKE SURE TO PICK UP A STAND AND THE PIANO PEDAL.

Overall:

The only bad thing about this keyboard is that it doesn't loop when your makeing a beat. If you ask me there shouldn't even be a record botton on this keyboard if you cant loop the track.

Quality:
very well made product. I even hit my keys hard when Im playing sometimes

Value:
Get the damn thing lol. what more can I say

Desirability:
Love the look of this baby. Well worth $600.00

Sound:
I love the sounds alot. There are tons to choose from.

Ease of Use:
very easy to use. I love it. I learned this keyboard within a few hours

Support:
never used it

Overall:

Feature:
Once again the sounds... So many good sounds, sequencer is simple to use, simple to record. Even without checking out the manual I was able to get right to recording tracks. Arpeggiator works great. Dual voices, awesome! This thing will have me creating for a long time.

Quality:
Doesnt look super fancy, but it makes up for it in ruggedness and stability.

Value:
Try and find something brand new that can even come close at this price..

Desirability:
Looked at it online for a long time before purchase, I would buy again anyday..

Sound:
Upon trying this thing out in a local Guitar Center I liked the sounds, but they didnt seem to be as great as other keyboards in same price range. However once I took it hom and plugged her in to my system I was shocked. The sounds are awesome, pristine even.

Ease of Use:
Extremely easy to use.

Support:
No need as of yet, dont forsee any problems

Feature:
Comes with Cubase LE, but I am not really into software recording. The sequencer on the Mini-Mo suck9why did Yamaha try to make it so close to The Bigger Motif's and lack some of the important features)I use my MPC-1000 for sequencing.

Quality:
Light as hell. Not bulky and does not take up all the room. The screen id large and you can see clearly what you are doing.

Value:
I think they could have least made the sequencer where you set the bars/measure/BPM's like the higher end models....it's not too much to ask for. Is it? It is more like an overpriced high-end DGX,YPT,etc. series of the toy keyboards

Desirability:
Despite of my ins and outs of how I feel, I could have saved for a used Motif or Triton, but like I said that was how I felt in the beginning. Now that I can navigate through it better than before, I like the board. I have made a few sketches and pleased with the results.

Sound:
I played around with the Motif 7 and the sounds on this thing is right along the line of the bigger Mo's.

Ease of Use:
I am still getting the hang of it. I usually figure things out no morethan a week, but since I work most of the time, it takes a little longer for me to get my feet wet. But It is easy once you get to fumbling with it for an hour or 2.

Support:
Yamaha....depends on the time of day. Sometimes a tech will help the same day, sometimes they say someone will give you a call, hell by the time they call, I would have figured out my problem by then.

Overall:
I was going to sell it to buy a used Trinity, but, then I didn't want to sell it anymore. It is really tight and really since the sounds come from the Bigger Motif's no one can tell the difference, so what the hell.

Feature:
there is no after touch, so this is too bad. There are patterns which are so fun to play with but there are no endings?!(lacking of this basic fucnitons disappointed me) there are no fillins. that is an issue for me. if there are patters there should be such simple functions. keyboard touche is good, but is not well as motif is. for this money , acceptable. Bundled cubase LE is great.

Quality:
Cosmetically it is ok, i wish that it is black but it is dark metallic gray. The worst aspect of quality is the plastic quality, my keyboard is made in china, of course quality is ok but generally older keyboards were looking much better and rich. According to my experience with keyboards, its keyboard will last long time but the metallic paint will become gloss because of sweat on my palm.

Value:
Almost ideal price for this product. REtail price here is 550 euro. Price must be cheaper then it will be a best seller.

Desirability:
I already bought, but if i was budget oriented again, this would be my first choice again. There is no alternative to this device with similar price.

Sound:
For its value its performance is outstanding. Most of sound very nice, and arpeggio funciton is sometimes odd, but mostly working very well. Piano, e-piano sounds,some guitars some synths are really really good. Some strings, effects are mostly just sufficent for general playing. I wish that organs could use leslie speaker effect with an on and off button. generally sounds better than roland Juno D but, because of too much digital noise created by effects makes listener disturbed sometimes. especially, if you are using your computer with this keyboard, mono or phones out put can cause digital noise on your amplifier/studio monitors. the cable between amplifier can pick up noise. it can be location specific. but problem is problem. on headphones there is absolutely no noise.

Ease of Use:
very easy to use, very easy to program. you can learn its basics in 15 minutes and for advanced fuctions and settings you will need 2 nights. Manual is straight forward.

Support:
no idea...

Overall:
My sattisfaction level is around %80 percent. I can suggest this keyboard to anybody who wish to buy a new jeyboard for a home studio as a midi keyboard but not a main keyboard. It sound nice and full of goods sounds with arpeggios and adjustable pots for sound editing and midi control. But there is no wide range of sound editing options just attack resonance effects etc. Overally good but it could be better with full pattern fill ins endings and intros, better sound editing capability and a better bodywork. If i would seeking a new keyboard this will be on th etop of list.

great features I haven't figured out sequencer yet don't know if you can loop drum patterns?

Quality:
sool looking, very light which is a plus, great large LCD screen

Value:
worth it's weight in gold!

Desirability:
I own it, and would love to buy more and give them away to some of my musician friends.

Sound:
for the price you can't beat it, I own very high end boards and these sounds are very comparable.

Ease of Use:
very user friendly, very usable sounds.

Support:
n/a

Overall:
Well after a week of playing on this board I must say that I am impressed. I took it to church and compared some of the sounds with my motif and I must say they were pretty close. I don't have my classic anymore so I compared it to my es. I am also impressed with how user friendly it is and the beat patterns are awesome. For the price you can't beat it for the classic motif sounds in an inexpensive package there's no comparison. I'm using mind right now just to jam on and create new ideas also I will probably use it on wednesday when I don't have a drummer, long story short get one.

Feature:
I like the features it has. Very easy to navigate. I love the dual and split mode, gives you 10X more creativity.

Quality:
Product is very sleek looking. Nice bright blue screen. Buttons are pretty nice. Doesnt seem like it'll break easily. But it all depends on how you personally take care of it.

Value:
Value of this product is unbeilivable. I'm getting mine next week. I have to buy just for the price. Best product by far for the price. I love it because it's very affordable for anyone. Especially for begineers like myself.

Desirability:
Beautiful. I have to get it.

Sound:
They sound of this is pretty good. Has alot of sounds you could use in a song. And a few that are just a little questionable. I only messd around with the patters for a few but all in all pretty good.

Ease of Use:
Pretty easy to create your own sounds. Just hit the dual mode and you got some great ideas to mess around with. For instints, say you select drums for the voice selection, hit dual mode and you can choose from strings to more drums, to organ, anything in the keyboard for the background sounds. My first time seeing or using something like that. Very nice feature.

Support:
Never used YAMAHA support. But i assume their pretty good

Overall:
Overall i recomend this product to anyone and everyone. For the value it's a must to add 2 your studio. I cannot wait to have it.
