the new yamaha mm6, is it a toy or a 1/2 decent cheap synth?

I own right now 3 korg products,1 roland and my most recent purchase of the yamaha mm6 (for some of the nice motif sounds)

I will definately debate it's not a toy!

for the price range of $600 its pretty impressive, once you get to know it and work with it.

I use it live with all the other gear and it does compliment

my other synths and modules.

It's no CS6x, but seems to be a step up from the S30 entry-level synth, essentially being a repackaging of the original Classic Motif with a few extra features thrown in and a bunch of newly programmed voices and performances meant to cater more to the contemporary dance-oriented crowd.

If I was going to gig live, I would give this keyboard some consideration. I certainly don't think its a toy.

I have played the MM6. While it only weighs about 12 lbs, it is definitely not a toy. Very good sound.

 

Worth considering as a primary or secondary board especially for live gigs.

been playing a little on MM6 and while sound is quite good, polyphony is low and keys are a toy like.

 

I'd rather go with juno-g if I have to chose.

Played it in store. Sounds alright, but feels a bit cheap (key action, as mentioned).

I didn't think the S30 was a entry level synth. The S03 - being a nice board in its own right - was entry level, but the S30 was the 61-key'd S80, albeit with a medium quality keyboard feel (IMO).

The MM6 could be a nice 2nd board for gigging: all round versatile sounds. The building quality seemed to lack a little. And can you program more than just split and layer? If not, then I'd go for the more-zoned MO6 or MO-Classic instead, I guess.
