Review: MX49 is a Great keyboard; tons of fun - Excellent pro keyboard (the blue one looks & sounds great). I wanted a compact great sounding board & this is it. I thoroughly researched all the 49-key boards & the mx49 dominates by far, especially in the sample/sound quality. In the 80s I used to gig with pro boards like the DX7 & Roland D50. This little beast blows em away. TIP: I always set it one octave down (easy to do w/button) for best sound. Pros: + breathtaking sample quality & choice. strong piano, ep & synth patches, & lots to choose from. + it looks awesome in blue + hardware 4 knobs excellent for realtime pitch shifts + performance mode w/drum tracks & arpeggiator brings it to life + USB card port makes it easy to tweak & save many different setups; works great. tip: save factory defaults into usb file as well; vs job/restore fxn + total pro patches; same as on $2k+ synths; it sounds Awesome and its a great value Cons: - no looper/sequencer (I bought a digitech pedal looper) - no layer & split simultaneous mode - no aftertouch or weighted/semi weighted keys; though keys are still excellent - almost no 3rd party patches for this available (!); I only found 4 - I'd like more dance/EDM style sounds I have lots of fun with this; its easy to use; very smart design engineering; classic high quality Yamaha synth. Update: this works great with the Digitech JMSXT Jamman Solo XT Stereo Looper Phrase Sampler Pedal... must-have gear; i use it w/alto or behringer mixer. I hate DAWs; the idea of using software in front of a pc is ridiculous to me (I'm oldschool); using a hardware pedal looper works great. Last night I jammed for 2 glorious hours with this keyboard + looper. Tips: use auto-quantize mode on looper, and set tempo in looper & MX49 to match performance (120 or 106bpm etc). record 8-16 bars or whatever of mx49 performance drums & bassline into looper, then store as main loop. Next i added lots of mx49 percussion bits one loop at a time. then bg chord comps with clav or pads. so it stacks /overdubs til it sounds fantastic. then i play over it with organ or synth lead patch for improv. Huge difference in fun vs playing over performances alone. Question: why do so many patches play just one note max at a time? like synth leads... I like playing 2-3 notes in chords; am i missing something? tia to the music, ken Update 2/2019 The more I play this, the more I like it. I play along with music videos on youtube with a mixer. HIGHLY recommend this keyboard; also I love the patches in the 3rd-party "mx dance pro" download (under $50); those are what I use primarily to play along w/edm like tiesto umf etc; stunning quality that beats the built-in patches (thx Peter).

Could this work for that?** A: It is a nice, lightweight keyboard. But it is prob still too long to play on your lap. It would probably tip from side to side as you moved laterally on the keys. Plus your wrists will be screaming at that angle. **Q: Does this keyboard have the option to save my favourite tones so that I can easily retrieve it when playing?** A: The Yamaha MOXF8 does, it has a favorites list that is user programmable. **Q: Does it have speakers?** A: No. This model does not have speakers. You must connect it to external speakers. **Q: Can headphones be used so that others do not hear?** A: On the MX61 model, there is a headphone input. You will need to get a 1/4" Stereo jack adapter if you only have normal stereo headphones. You can get one on Amazon or Best Buy. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MX49 is a Great keyboard; tons of fun *by K***N on November 15, 2018* Excellent pro keyboard (the blue one looks & sounds great).

You get over 1000 of the best Motif sounds cheap! First the negatives. There is really only one that I can see so far and that is that the keyboard is narrower than a full sized keyboard. Now the positives. The sounds are amazing. Truly inspirational. I wouldn’t have bought it if it didn’t feature the Motif woodwind sound “Sweet Flute”. It sounds amazing and you have incredible control with how you strike the keys. That’s my favorite sound on here and on The Motif or Montage. The piano sounds are great as are the electric piano sounds. There’s a lot on here. It’s a very lightweight keyboard that you can plop on your bed or take with you to a gig or on a trip. I’m really happy with it. I recommend the custom gig bag with it. They fixed the tightness issue that you may have read about in earlier reviews. The blue color looks great too! ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha MX49 Music Production Synthesizer, Blue - SNIGJAT 49 Key Keyboard Case Soft, Piano Bag with Padded Pockets for Instrument Parts and Accessories, Waterproof Keyboard Bag with Handle and Adjustable Shoulder Straps (Interior: 33.5"x 12.4"x3.9") - M-Audio SP-2 - Universal Sustain Pedal with Piano Style Action For MIDI Keyboards, Digital Pianos & More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/32837097-mx49bu-mx49-music-production-synthesizer-blue](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/32837097-mx49bu-mx49-music-production-synthesizer-blue) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
