The reface DX
The reface DX almost needs no introduction It is of course based on the legendary DX7 Synthesizer first released in 1983 Credited with being in so many recordings spanning the 80’s, it’s no wonder that the DX7 is included in the Reface Series Featuring a really intuitive 4 Operator FM synth inside the box a gorgeous screen and a range of controls, the DX is a fantastic option for those wanting to get into synthesis without getting completely bamboozled Featuring a wide range of sounds from the DX range, the reface DX offers a versatile sound set
Looks Like a Toy, Behaves like a beast
At first look, you may be fooled into thinking that the reface pianos are somewhat of a toy With their super compact design mini keys and in built speakers, it does seem reminiscent of a few mini-starter-keyboard instruments that i grew up with in looks
HOWEVER, in terms of both sound quality,playability and features, the reface series completely blows those keyboards out off the water!
Thanks to its internal circuitry the sound is warm and rich and has all the artifacts and intricacies of the original If you wanted, you could plug the reface into a larger rig and just use it as a compact top quality sound module for a larger keyboard with fully weighted keys
Mini Keys, Mighty Control
With mini-keys becoming more prominent in a range of keyboards these days, many players have been disappointed by their lack of playability and responsiveness compared to a proper keyboard action having been used to the proper hammer action of a real piano myself, I have in the past sometimes wondered whether mini-keys is that one step too far!
What’s great about the reface key bed is that you’ll find that the Mini-Keys are like none that have been before The keys not only feel better to play, there’s a huge amount of expressiveness and sensitivity that is sometimes lost in other mini key setups In a reface promotional video a reviewer remarked “It seems like a piano player actually made the keysâ€!
There is obviously a reason why Yamaha decided to use mini-keys on the reface series, and as soon as you start taking that keyboard out

Yamaha is a giant in the world of synthesizers, having shaped the industry with iconic instruments since the 1970s. One of their earliest and most groundbreaking entries was the **Yamaha CS Series**, including the **CS-80**, which became famous for its expressive analogue sound and polyphonic capabilities. However, it was the launch of the **DX7** in 1983 that truly revolutionised music. The DX7, based on FM synthesis, offered a digital alternative to traditional analogue synths, providing crystal-clear sounds that became defining elements of 1980s pop, rock, and electronic music. Its affordability, reliability, and MIDI compatibility made it a favourite among professionals and amateurs alike.
Building on this legacy, Yamaha has continued to innovate with instruments like the **Motif Series**, combining sampling, synthesis, and sequencing in one powerful workstation. Their **Reface Series**, introduced in 2015, brought classic sounds back in compact, portable form, appealing to both new musicians and vintage enthusiasts. Throughout the years, Yamaha has maintained a reputation for quality, versatility, and innovation, producing synthesizers that are equally at home in professional studios and live performances.

Compact
A compact synthesizer is a smaller, more streamlined synth designed to be portable and space-efficient without sacrificing essential features and sound quality. These synthesizers are typically built to have a reduced footprint, making them easier to carry around or fit into limited studio or stage setups. Despite their size, compact synths often include a versatile range of sounds and functions, such as multiple oscillators, filters, effects, and sometimes even sequencers or arpeggiators. They are ideal for musicians or producers looking for a capable instrument that can be easily transported or fit onto a crowded desk or stage rig.
Compact synths might feature mini keys, knob-based controls, or even touch interfaces to maximize usability within a small form factor. Popular examples include the Korg microKORG, Roland Boutique series, and Arturia MicroFreak. They are designed to balance functionality with convenience, offering musicians a way to explore creative ideas without requiring a full-sized, heavyweight synthesizer. These compact designs are often well-suited for live performers, travelling musicians, and home studio producers who want a versatile instrument without taking up too much space.
Digital
This synthesiser employs digital technology to produce sounds, offering a wide range of features and capabilities. Digital synthesis allows for complex sound design, including extensive modulation options and the ability to emulate various acoustic instruments. With its precision and versatility, this instrument is perfect for modern music production, live performance, and creative exploration.
Digital Piano
A digital piano is a modern electronic keyboard instrument designed to replicate the sound and feel of an acoustic piano while offering additional features and benefits. Unlike acoustic pianos, which use hammers and strings to produce sound, digital pianos use sampled recordings of high-quality acoustic piano tones or synthesized sounds to generate sound digitally.
They typically feature weighted or semi-weighted keys that simulate the feel of a traditional piano, as well as built-in speakers for amplification. Digital pianos often include additional features such as headphone outputs, MIDI connectivity, recording capabilities, and various instrument sounds and effects. These versatile instruments are popular among pianists and music enthusiasts for their compact size, affordability, and flexibility in both home and performance settings.

This product is brand new, unused, and in its original packaging. It has never been opened or used, ensuring you receive it in pristine, factory-sealed condition, just as originally manufactured.

Synthesizer
A synthesizer, often abbreviated as synth, is an electronic musical instrument that generates and manipulates sound electronically. Synthesizers create sound through various methods, including subtractive synthesis, additive synthesis, frequency modulation synthesis, and wavetable synthesis, among others. They typically feature oscillators to produce raw waveforms, filters to sculpt the timbre, envelopes to shape the sound’s amplitude, and modulation sources to add movement and complexity.
Synthesizers offer a vast range of sounds, from classic analog tones to futuristic digital textures, and are used in a wide array of musical genres, from electronic and pop to rock and film scoring. With their versatility and expressive capabilities, synthesizers are essential tools for musicians, producers, and sound designers seeking to explore and create innovative sonic landscapes.
