PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical

shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the instrument. The required

voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Use the speciﬁed adaptor (PA-5D, PA-150 or an equivalent recommended by

Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument

or overheating.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have

accumulated on it.

• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,

and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects

on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll

anything over it.

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or

modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it

should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it

inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet

conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into

any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the

power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have

the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.

A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a

sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or

smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,

disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected

by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage

to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold

the plug itself and not the cord.

• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during

electrical storms.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector.

Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the

outlet.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or

heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to

prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the internal

components.

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,

mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio

may generate noise.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally

fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is

easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off

the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power

switch is turned off, electricity is still ﬂowing to the product at the minimum

level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug

the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

• Use only the stand speciﬁed for the instrument. When attaching the stand or

rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the

components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes

of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume

controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,

solvents, cleaning ﬂuids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel

or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the

power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed

Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might

discolor the panel or keyboard.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not

use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

Main Features

■ High-Quality Voices for Keyboard Performance Page 15

The MM6/MM8 contains a wide range of high-quality voices (many based on the

Motif Series voices), ranging from acoustic musical instruments to unique synthesizer

sounds. Use the Category Search function to quickly call up the sounds you want,

based on their instrument type. The MM8 features an 88-key “Graded Hammer” key-

board with action that is virtually indistinguishable from an actual acoustic piano.

■ Play the Keyboard Along with a Pattern Page 23

The patterns in the MM6/MM8 were created to give you a wide range of different

musical genres simply by playing back the pattern tracks. Moreover, you can easily

record chord changes to both the patterns and your real time keyboard performance in

the Song mode.

■ Use the Arpeggio Page 20

The versatile Arpeggio feature automatically plays drum percussion phrases, guitar

phrases, and analog synthesizer style phrases in response to the keys you play.

■ Save and Switch Between Performance Settings (Performance

Memory)

Page 59

The Performance Memory lets you conveniently create and store combined settings

for the voices you play (including keyboard splits and layers), the patterns you want to

assign to backing tracks, and other important settings for live performance. These per-

formance settings can be easily recalled by a single button press.

■ Controlling Filter and EG in Real Time Page 41

You can control the ﬁlter (cutoff and resonance) and EG (attack and release) in real

time by using four knobs on the panel. Even these detailed sonic changes can be saved

in the Performance Memory.

■ Save Performance Data to a USB Storage Device Page 66

Transferring data between the MM6/MM8 and your computer is easy because the

MM6/MM8 can store data and setting to standard USB storage devices.

■ Create Music with Your Computer and the Bundled DAW Soft-

ware

Page 80

You can connect the MM6/MM8 to your computer using a USB cable, and transfer

MIDI data to and from DAW software. With the Bundled DAW software the MM6/

MM8 becomes the central tone generator for your computer based music production

system.
