If done, it may be a fairly expensive box to prevent someone from seeing the workstation reface + 61 key MIDI controller as a cheap alternative to a Montage 6.Īlthough I wouldn't mind a promotion for existing MODX/Montage users to get the non-inflated anti-cannibalism price (still allowing for profit on Yamaha's side) as a way to promote more sales up-side. The competing force here is cannibalism (decreased sales of Montage by a mini-reface-Montage). Something other than show-performance-oriented-practice/play (due to key size). I wouldn't use it to replace the Montage at gigs but I would use it for sound design while on the couch or on the go or just while my Montage is in its case from a gig/practice.

I'd prefer a better approximation of my Montage than I can get using a small 3rd party ("dumb" ) MIDI controller plus a laptop for the tone generator used to approximate my Montage Performances. I buy non-Yamaha gear as my "laptop" / "portable" rig to accomplish a similar goal. Unless of course, they've lost there technical "mojo" since the 1990's! So, I'm sure Yamaha is up to the challenge. And that was done using ( 30 ) year old ( -early 1990's technology )! What I'm proposing with the "Grab & Go" Workstation Keyboard design isn't anywhere near as small as the QY-70 and QY-100's were. *P.S: And for those of you who are skeptical that all of these features could be "fit" inside such a small "ReFace" footprint -remember the Yamaha QY-70 and QY-100? Those marvels of miniaturization managed to shoehorn an entire studio's worth of instrument sounds, effects processing, bass auto accompaniment, a guitar input ( -in the case of the QY-100 ) along with a multitrack sequencer -all into a paperback novel-sized case.

If Yamaha puts it into production -I want to get a FREE one for proposing the design! Tell me what you think! Do you think Yamaha should take my "Grab & Go" Workstation Keyboard design and turn it into a "ReFace" model? ). Click on the link below and scroll down the page to read about the features it would include. I call it my "Grab & Go" Workstation Keyboard design. Here's my idea of what I'd like to see included in such a Yamaha "ReFace" model.
So, why not include some of "Yamaha's past workstation DNA" in a ( new ) "ReFace" workstation keyboard? Seems logical to me. ) -so WHY not reflect this estimable workstation history in their "Reface" line-up? After all, Yamaha claims their "ReFace" line is intended to be a "re-imagining" of their past keyboards and technology. Yamaha has a great workstation history ( -with the MOTIF, Montage and MODX lines, etc. "boat anchor" workstation keyboards I think such a keyboard would be a godsend for many touring keyboardists. After years of lugging around big, bulky 15-35 lb. As the current owner of a Yamaha "ReFace CS", I've often thought to myself: "How cool would it be to have a "ReFace-sized" workstation keyboard that I could bring on the road with me? You know, something really compact and lightweight ( -and conforming to the measurements, weight and three-octave "mini-key" keyboard and AC/ "AA" x 4 or 6-battery ethic of the current "ReFace" line-up ). Hey ReFace users! I wanted to get your "feedback" on an idea I had.
