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.

Production

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.

Synthesizers

At the heart of electronic music lies the synthesizer — a tool of limitless creativity. From fat analogue basslines and sweeping pads to gritty FM textures and modular experimentation, our range of synths covers every sonic territory. Whether you’re chasing vintage warmth, modern digital precision, or the hands-on joy of knob-per-tweak design, you’ll find something here to inspire. We stock everything from portable groove boxes and desktop mono synths to powerful polys and rare collector’s pieces — ideal for studio producers, performers, sound designers, and synth obsessives alike.
