At the recent LIMS 2009, Yamaha introduced two new synthesizers, the Yamaha S70XS and S90XS keyboards, with 76 & 88 keys. They'll be arriving soon at Dolphin Music and promise to be two of the hottest products this year...

The Yamaha S70XS and S90XS Keyboard Synthesizer is a highly specified and high performance instrument offering huge versatility and a rich feature set for serious live keyboard players.

The keyboard is fitted with a huge 456 MB of onboard wave memory.

The synth also comes with an audio recording and playback feature. CD-quality audio data can easily be recorded to the internal flash memory or to external USB storage devices allowing players to instantly capture not only everything played on the keyboard, but also audio sources connected to the 1/4”/XLR Combo jack input with front panel controls.

By using the internal virtual modeling effects section its even possible to apply the highest quality compression, reverb and effects to the mic input to help capture the live performance but enhanced with studio quality effects processing. There is even a full-featured vocoder onboard.

The Yamaha S70XS and Yamaha S90XS also integrates nicely with the computer.

With internal templates for editing softsynths and with hardware control of the host DAW plus a VST3 editor allowing the S90XS to appear and be controlled as VST instruments, the new synths can also become the backbone of a computer-based composition environment.
