PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

Please keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical

shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or

radiators. Also, do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the

cord, or place heavy objects on it.

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The

required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Use the specified adaptor (page 44) only. Using the wrong adaptor

can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust

which may have accumulated on it.

• This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the

instrument or attempt to disassemble or modify the internal

components in any way. If it should appear to be malfunctioning,

discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified

Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or

wet conditions, place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or

glasses) containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If

any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the

power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service

personnel.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.

A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.

to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might

accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to

prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip

over them.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are

using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs,

immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from

the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is

still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not

using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power

cord from the wall AC outlet.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components,

turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on

MX49/MX61 Owner’s Manual

MX49/MX61 Main Features

 Dynamic, MOTIF-based Sounds

The MX49/MX61 contains a wide range of dynamic and authentic waveforms derived directly from the world famous

Yamaha MOTIF (including the realistic instrument sounds of acoustic piano, electric piano, synthesizer, drums, and many

others). These give you exceptionally high-quality sound for playing and recording in various musical genres. Moreover,

you can easily play back phrases of each instrument—even complex phrases impossible to play live—by using the

Arpeggio function. The instrument also features an extensive effect system—including VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling)

Effects, REV-X (high grade Reverb) Effects, and Master EQ. In a wide variety of ways, the MX49/MX61 truly enhances

and inspires your music performance and creation.

 Easy-to-use user interface

This instrument has been designed for easy playability and simple, intuitive operation. For example, the Category

buttons let you quickly select a desired Voice from easy-to-understand groups, based on the general instrument type or

sound characteristics. The useful and popular Layer function (playing two Voices together) and Split function (playing

two separate Voices with your left and right hands) can also be set instantly. What’s more, four Knobs are available on the

panel—letting you control twelve aspects of the sound, and tweak them in real time as you play.

 Highly portable, with easy-to-carry design

This instrument can go virtually wherever you go, thanks to its light weight and compact size. The MX49 is designed slim

and trim, so that it easily fits on your desk or in front of your computer. The MX61 has a indented handle at the bottom,

allowing you to easily carry it with one hand.

 Jam along with the Rhythm Patterns and Songs

The MX49/MX61 features a wealth of dynamic Rhythm Patterns in wide variety of musical genres. You can play the

keyboard along with Rhythm Pattern playback—a truly inspiring way to perform! The instrument also conveniently lets

you play back MIDI and Audio data contained in USB flash memory—letting you easily use Song data created on

computer during live performance, without needing a computer! Plus, an [AUX IN] jack allows you to connect a portable

music player, so that you can play the keyboard along with your favorite songs.

 Full music production capabilities—with just the MX49/MX61!

Both MIDI and audio data can be transferred to and from a computer via USB—without the need for a separate audio

interface or a MIDI interface. You can record and play MIDI data, record digital audio data from this instrument directly,

and monitor the DAW sound from the OUTPUT [L/MONO] jack/ [PHONES] jack.

 Integration with Cubase

This instrument is specially designed to work seamlessly with Cubase series software (version 6 or later*), Steinberg’s

full-featured DAW program—giving you a comprehensive, all-in-one music production system, in which hardware and

software are fully integrated. The MX49/MX61 Remote Tools makes integration with Cubase even more convenient, letting

you control transport operations and VSTi parameters directly from the instrument. Simply download the MX49/MX61

related software from the following Yamaha website.

GM Voice GM (General MIDI) is a worldwide standard for Voice organization and MIDI functions of synthesizers and tone generators. It was designed primarily to ensure that any Song data created with a specific GM device would sound virtually the same on any other GM device—no matter the manufacturer or the model. The GM Voice bank on this synthesizer is designed to appropriately play back GM Song data. However, keep in mind that the sound may not be exactly the same as played by the original tone generator. 44 MX49/MX61 Owner’s Manual Appendix Index A J [ARP] button ..................................................................... 11, 23 [JOB] button ............................................................................10 Arpeggio ................................................................................. 22 Audio data .............................................................................. 27 Auto Power Off function .......................................................... 14 [AUX IN] jack .................................................................... 12, 29 K Key On Start function ..............................................................25 [KNOB FUNCTION] button ................................................10, 21 Knobs [A] – [D] ..................................................................10, 21 B Brightness of the display .................................................. 14, 35 L Layer .......................................................................................19 C [LAYER] button ..................................................................11, 19 Category ................................................................................. 18 LCD .........................................................................................11 Chorus .................................................................................... 29 LCD Contrast .....................................................................14, 35 Common Edit .......................................................................... 29 List ...........................................................................................16 Connection (External MIDI instrument) ................................... 37 Load ........................................................................................36 Controller Set .......................................................................... 32 Controllers ............................................................................... 21 M Cursor ..................................................................................... 16 Master Tune .............................................................................35 Cursor buttons .................................................................. 11, 16 [MASTER VOLUME] knob .................................................10, 14 MIDI data .................................................................................27 D MIDI [IN]/[OUT] terminals ..................................................12, 37 [DATA] dial ....................................................................... 11, 16 MIDI Transmit and Receive channels .....................................38 [DAW REMOTE] button ........................................................... 10 Modulation wheel ..............................................................10, 21 DC IN jack ......................................................................... 12, 13 [DEC/NO] button ............................................................... 11, 16 N Demo Song ............................................................................. 14 Naming ....................................................................................17 E [EDIT] button ......................................................... 10, 29, 31, 32 Edit indicator ..................................................................... 30, 32 O OCTAVE [-]/[+] buttons .....................................................10, 24 OUTPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks ............................................12, 13 Effect ................................................................................. 29, 31 [ENTER] button ....................................................................... 11 [EXIT] button ..................................................................... 11, 17 [EXT.
