Full description

Reface DX from Yamaha is a frequency modulation synthesizer that offers a simple user interface and complex sounds in a small size. Reface is based on the Yamaha DX-7 synthesizer with a reinvented DX-like interface with 8-tone polyphony, four operators and twelve algorithms that you can use to create a range of sounds from retro 80s to modern electronic dance -music.

The DX's front panel features a display and a multi-touch control interface to access the DX's functions. You get four operators as well as twelve algorithms that you can mix in different combinations to make classic DX sounds. The system menu provides access to various modes, frequency and detune and additional parameters such as level control, touch sensitivity, feedback and keyboard register. The envelope generators have classic attack, decay, sustain and release (ADSR) controls, and the LFO or low frequency oscillators offer you seven waveforms that you can use to modulate the operators.

Additional features include a pitch control, built-in stereo speakers, a volume control, an octave slider and a looper section. In the effects section you get distortion, touch wah, chorus, flanger, phaser, delay and reverb with additional depth and rate control.

The 37-key mini-keyboard incorporates the same technology as Yamaha's flagship Motif XF, providing a first-class playing experience and fast response. The Reface DX can run on 6 AA batteries and it is possible to connect a sustain pedal. In addition, you get two unbalanced jack outputs, a stereo jack headphone output, a stereo mini jack input and a mini DIN connection that provides MIDI in and out. Built-in USB allows Reface DX to be connected to a computer or iOS device. There are program slots, but if you need more storage space, you can store settings corresponding to MIDI CC controller data via an iOS app.
