Yamaha Reface DX FM Synthesizer

If you like the sound of the iconic DX-7 synth from the 1980s, you'll love this new Yamaha reface DX!

Retro Vibes

The most accurate reproduction of the classic Yamaha synths of the New Wave / Electronic Pop golden age. Think Michael Jackson, Depeche Mode, Human League and all of those classic synth sounds of the 80's, and put them in a small, affordable and super-versatile package you can take anywhere and there you have it - the reface DX!

Yamaha Reface DX Synthesizer Features:

• Retro-style synthesis meets modern day innovation
• Portable design with built-in speakers
• Four operator FM engine for classic synth sounds
• Integrated effects and loop phraser for added versatility

Easy User Interface

A carefully developed user interface offers intuitive access to the FM tone generators even for starters. A capacitive multi touch controller allows dynamic modifications of a sound. The reface DX is also polyphonic with 8 voices and features 7 effects.

Discover and share sounds online

All four reface models offer a rich potential for creative sound design – and the opportunity to get in touch with the whole world: With Soundmondo, Yamaha created an online hub connecting the reface community all over the globe. Soundmondo offers creative possibilities to create, share and discover sounds. The connection is established intuitively using a special Web MIDI technology for Google Chrome. As soon as a reface model is plugged in, it offers the possibility of direct synchronisation. Voices and set lists can be stored in a private area as well as shared with the community.

reface iOS App for iPhone and iPad

Quick and easy storage as well as management of sounds with iPhone and iPad: The free reface iOS app for Apple mobile devices makes data transfer extremely simple. A name, a picture and multiple tags can be applied to stored voices; they can be sorted in different ways as well. Search functionality is also included. Using a set list, voices can be arranged in a specific order and recalled one after the other.

Another impressive feature is the possibility to exchange voices using QR codes: A distinctive code can be generated from any stored voice and can then be shared using the different options available with iOS. It can for example be sent via email or read using the camera of another iPad to import it into the app.
