et à augmenter progressivement les commandes de volume tout en
jouant de l'instrument pour obtenir le niveau sonore souhaité.
• Ne glissez pas les doigts ou la main dans les fentes de l'instrument.
• Évitez d'insérer ou de laisser tomber des morceaux de papier,
des pièces métalliques ou tout autre objet dans les interstices du
panneau. Vous pourriez vous blesser ou provoquer des blessures
à votre entourage, endommager l'instrument ou un autre bien ou
causer des dysfonctionnements au niveau de l'instrument.
• Ne vous appuyez pas sur l'instrument et ne déposez pas d'objets
lourds dessus. Ne manipulez pas trop brutalement les touches,
les sélecteurs et les connecteurs.
• N'utilisez pas l'instrument ou le casque de manière prolongée à des
niveaux sonores trop élevés ou inconfortables qui risqueraient
d'entraîner des troubles définitifs de l'audition. Si vous constatez
une baisse d'acuité auditive ou que vous entendez des sifflements,
consultez un médecin.
Mettez toujours l'instrument hors tension lorsque vous ne l'utilisez pas.

Main Features
Dynamic, MOTIF-based Sounds
This instrument 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, this instrument 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
This instrument 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 this instrument!
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, Steinberg’s full-featured DAW software—giving
you a comprehensive, all-in-one music production system, in which hardware and software are fully integrated.
USB audio and MIDI Class-Compliant for easy connection to iOS applications
This instrument can connect to iOS by using USB Audio/MIDI Class Compliant. You can use Stereo Audio In/Out and
MIDI In/Out with iPhone and iPad through Apple’s Lightning - USB Camera Adapter. Combining the
instrument with an iOS
audio application, you can get a mobile audio recording solution.

operation.
[UTILITY] Select “01:General” with Cursor [ ] button
[ENTER] Select “AutoOff” with Cursor [ ] button,
then change the value with [DATA] dial [STORE]
NOTICE
• Depending on the instrument status (for example, the
settings have been modified but not yet stored), the power
may not turn off automatically, even after the elapse of the
specified period of time. Always turn off the power
manually when the instrument is not in use.
• When the instrument is not operated for a specified period
of time while connected to an external device such as an
amplifier, speaker or computer, make sure to follow the
instructions in the Owner’s Manual to turn off the power to
the instrument and the connected devices, in order to
protect the devices from damage. If you do not want the
power to turn off automatically when a device is
connected, disable Auto Power Off.
• When Auto Power Off is set to “off,” the value will be
retained even if the backup data saved on another device
is loaded to the instrument. When Auto Power Off is set to
something other than “off,” the value will be overwritten
with loaded data.
• Keep in mind that the amount of time that elapses before
the power automatically turns off is reset to 30 minutes if
you execute the Factory Set function (page 11).
NOTE • The setting time is approximate.

The original factory settings of this synthesizer’s User
Memory can be restored as described here. The
Performances, User Voices, and Utility settings of the
User Memory will be reset to the initial factory settings.
This operation is especially handy when you’ve
unintentionally deleted or overwritten the Performances
or Utility settings.
NOTICE
When the factory settings are restored, all the Performance,
User Voice, and system settings in the Utility display you
created will be erased. Make sure you are not overwriting any
important data. Be sure to save all important data to your
USB flash memory before executing this procedure

this operation, press [DEC/NO] here. In this case, in
order to return to the top display, press [EXIT]
repeatedly if necessary after canceling.
NOTICE
When setting the “Power On Auto” to on and executing
Factory Set, the Factory Set operation will automatically be
executed each time you turn the power on. Keep in mind that
this also means that your original data in the User Memory
will be erased each time you turn on the power. Therefore,
the parameter normally is set to off. If you set it to off and
execute Factory Set, the Factory Set operation will not be
executed when turning the power on the next time.
4 Press [INC/YES].
The Factory Set operation is executed.
NOTICE
For Factory Set operations that take longer to process, you
will see a message during processing. While such a
message is shown on the display, do not turn off the power.
Turning the power off in this state results in loss of all user
data and may cause the system to freeze (due to corruption
of data in the User Memory). This could also result in the
instrument not being able to start up properly, even when
turning the power on next time.

functions and current values for Knobs [A] – [D] is
called up. The values in brackets indicate that the
Knob indication is different from the current actual
value.
NOTE You can instantly reset Knobs [A] – [D] to Function 1 by
holding down [SHIFT] and pressing [KNOB
FUNCTION].
2 Press [PART 1-2 LINK] to determine whether
the Knob functions are applied to both Part 1
and Part 2 (on), or only the selected Part (off).

External Controllers
Footswitch
An optional Footswitch (FC3A, FC4A or FC5) connected
to the [SUSTAIN] jack on the rear panel lets you control
sustain. Notes played while the Footswitch is pressed are
sustained longer than normal after you release the
corresponding keys, like a damper pedal on an acoustic
piano (Sustain function). If you connect an FC3A, you can
use the half-damper function for some Voices of the
PIANO and KEYBOARD categories. When using the half-
damper function, the degree to which the pedal is
pressed can control how long the notes are sustained.
Change the setting as follows according to the
connected Footswitch.
[UTILITY] Select “03:Controller” [ENTER] Select
“FS Pedal” parameter Set “FS Pedal” to connected
Footswitch Return to top display by pressing [EXIT]

NOTE If you wish to use the half-damper function, set the “FS
Pedal” to “FC3 Half On.”
Foot controller
You can connect an optional Foot Controller (FC7) to the
[FOOT CONTROLLER] jack on the rear panel. This
conveniently lets you use your foot to control volume (like
the volume pedal of an organ), freeing your hands for
playing.
NOTE You can also control other functions than sustain or volume
by using a foot pedal connected to the [SUSTAIN] jack or
[FOOT CONTROLLER] jack. For details, see the explanation
of the Utility Controller display in the “Reference Manual”
PDF document.
Using the Arpeggio function
The Arpeggio function lets you create arpeggios (broken
chords) by simply playing the appropriate notes on the
keyboard. For example, you could play the notes of a
triad—the root, third, and fifth—and the Arpeggio
function will automatically create a variety of interesting
arpeggio-type phrases. You can set different Arpeggio
types for each Part, and apply the Arpeggio function up
to two Parts simultaneously. The most suitable Arpeggio
type is automatically selected for each part when you
select a voice, but you can easily select any other
Arpeggio type.

refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and
at what strength—just as in a musical score. Based
on the recorded performance information, the tone
generator outputs the corresponding sound. Audio
data, on the other hand, is a recording of the
performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the
same way as that used in recording with voice
recorders, etc. This data can be played with a
portable music player, etc., allowing you to easily let
other people hear your performance.

them cut off, assign the Voices you intend to play
beforehand to Parts 1 – 16 of a Performance, then select
the corresponding Part (with the numbered Category
buttons) as you play.
1 Press [PART SELECT].

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.

Either the MIDI connectors or the USB [TO HOST] terminal can be used for MIDI data transmission/ reception; however, they cannot be used at the same time. Select the desired connector for use in the “MIDI IN/ OUT” parameter of the [UTILITY] “02:MIDI” display. As you work through the explanations in this chapter, set “MIDI IN/OUT” to “MIDI” since MIDI is used as the example connection here. 2 Src*Performance 001(A01):MXCategory 7 Select the destination Performance number (for loading), then press [ENTER].

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. 40 MX49 MX61 MX88 Owner’s Manual Appendix Index A J [ARP] button ....................................................................... 7, 19 [JOB] button ..............................................................................6 Arpeggio ................................................................................. 18 Audio data .............................................................................. 23 Auto Power Off function .......................................................... 10 [AUX IN] jack ...................................................................... 8, 25 K Key On Start function ..............................................................21 [KNOB FUNCTION] button ..................................................6, 17 Knobs [A] – [D] ....................................................................6, 17 B Brightness of the display .................................................. 10, 31 L Layer .......................................................................................15 C [LAYER] button ....................................................................7, 15 Category ................................................................................. 14 LCD ...........................................................................................7 Chorus .................................................................................... 25 LCD Contrast .....................................................................10, 31 Common Edit .......................................................................... 25 List ...........................................................................................12 Connection (External MIDI instrument) ................................... 33 Load ........................................................................................32 Controller Set .......................................................................... 28 Controllers ............................................................................... 17 M Cursor ..................................................................................... 12 Master Tune .............................................................................31 Cursor buttons .................................................................... 7, 12 [MASTER VOLUME] knob ...................................................6, 10 MIDI data .................................................................................23 D MIDI [IN]/[OUT] terminals ....................................................8, 33 [DATA] dial ......................................................................... 7, 12 MIDI Transmit and Receive channels .....................................34 [DAW REMOTE] button ............................................................. 6 Modulation wheel ................................................................6, 17 DC IN jack ............................................................................. 8, 9 [DEC/NO] button ................................................................. 7, 12 N Demo Song ............................................................................. 10 Naming ....................................................................................13 E [EDIT] button ........................................................... 6, 25, 27, 28 Edit indicator ..................................................................... 26, 28 O OCTAVE [-]/[+] buttons .......................................................6, 20 OUTPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks ................................................8, 9 Effect ................................................................................. 25, 27 [ENTER] button ......................................................................... 7 [EXIT] button ....................................................................... 7, 13 [EXT.
