Yamaha Reface Mobile Mini Keyboards Bring Great Sound, Control and Playability to a Portable Package Yamaha reface Mobile Mini Keyboards Bring Great Sound, Control and Playability to a Portable Package NASHVILLE (EMBARGO July 9, 2015)—Yamaha today announced that it introduced the new reface Mobile Mini Keyboards at the 2015 Summer NAMM Show. Building on Yamaha’s 40-year heritage of creating some of the most heralded and renowned electronic keyboards, reface reimagines the interface of four classic Yamaha instruments. The series offers great sound, built-in speakers, 37 keys with professional-grade HQ-Mini action (derived from the flagship Motif XF) and battery-powered portability for making music on the go. But more than mere travel companions, these versatile keyboards connect with external speakers, smartphones, tablets, MIDI devices and computers for use on stage and in the studio. reface YC reimagines the YC Yamaha Combo organs, introduced in the late 1960s and used by Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream and others. The YC offers all the expression of drawbars, rotary speaker, percussion and effects. It includes five retro organ sounds -- ranging from tonewheel to transistor to the original Yamaha Combo organ -- and 128-note polyphony. reface CP redesigns the Combo Piano, launched in 1975 and ubiquitous on stages during that era. The sound enhanced the work of Keane, U2, Genesis, Billy Joel and more. The CP model features six electric piano sounds including tine, reed, clav, toy and CP80 plus direct control of six different 1970s-style effects built into its retro-chic design. It also includes a sustain pedal input with a half-damper response and 128-note polyphony. reface CS rekindles the legacy of the CS-series Control Synthesizers, introduced in 1976 and played by Vangelis, Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, among others. Offering 8-note polyphony, reface CS uses virtual analog synth technology and five flexible oscillator modules to create a wide variety of complex sounds from analog to digital. reface DX draws its inspiration from the iconic DX7, which debuted in 1983 and became the first commercially successful electronic keyboard used extensively by a multitude of bands throughout the decade and beyond. With the press of a button, the reface DX changes from retro-80s tones to cutting-edge modern sounds perfect for EDM. A new Multi-Touch Control interface makes it easy to customize your sound with the powerful FM (frequency modulation) synthesis engine. The instrument includes 8-note polyphony, 32 Voice Memories and a backlit display. reface features a “one to one” control scheme, meaning the panel controls perfectly match the tone generator for direct sound creation and musical inspiration. “reface offers high-quality touch, tone, interface and superior design at an affordable price,” said Nate Tschetter, marketing manager, Music Production, Yamaha Corporation of America. “These inspiring, horizon-expanding instruments are fun to play and let keyboard players take their music anywhere.” The reface YC, CP, CS and DX mobile mini keyboards (MSRP: $799) will ship in September 2015.

The new Yamaha Silent Guitars look like they should be hanging on the wall of a modern art museum, but behind the beguiling form, they deliver professional-level sound and feel that is perfect for travel, stage and the studio. The new series comes equipped with special SRT (Studio Response Technology) preamp and pickups, which models studio quality tones created with high-end microphones and top-quality Yamaha acoustic guitars to create the sonic illusion of playing a full-bodied acoustic guitar. SLG200 guitars are available in both a steel and nylon versions with three stunning color options. They all include ear buds and a headphone jack for near- silent playing, making them perfect for dorm and apartment dwellers. A ¼ inch jack provides connectivity with an amplifier, loudspeaker, PA system, audio interface or mixing board. The removable top bout design allows the SLG200’s to collapse into a slim, sturdy gig bag, which makes for the ultimate on-the-go guitar. More than just great practice or travel companions, these instruments are ideal for performing live, as discovered by internationally renowned musicians Daniel Ho, Lee Ritenour, Brian May, and others. Other upgraded features include a new satin mahogany neck profile, all- wood (Rosewood/Maple) top bouts, a reconfigured easy-access control panel, an on-board tuner and a redesigned battery cavity powered by two AA batteries for longer life. In addition to the proprietary SRT pickup and preamp system, the SLG200 series also comes with a 6-crystal under-saddle piezo pickup that can be blended with the modeled SRT sounds along with onboard reverb and chorus effects to dial in just the right tone. The design eliminates feedback in a live performance setting. “The new SLG series features a slimmer body and sleek neck profile for superb playability,” said Armando Vega, marketing manager, guitars, Yamaha Corporation of America. “These durable, road worthy guitars let you play whenever and wherever inspiration strikes.” The SLG200S (steel string) and SLG200N (nylon string)–MSRP: $1,015– will ship in September 2015.

Yamaha introduced the first digital mixer in 1987 and redefined digital mixing for the live and installed sound industries with the RIVAGE PM10, CL and QL series consoles. With the launch of its new TF series, the company has reimagined mixing, offering advanced features and renowned Yamaha reliability at an exceptional price point to an even wider range of users. Aimed at new users and experienced professionals looking to get working faster than ever, the TF series brings time saving performance capabilities, such as fast, accurate gain setup, single step compression and EQ, and microphone specific presets to even the most modest sound reinforcement applications. The TF series (which stands for TouchFlow Operation™) comprises three compact, performance-packed digital mixing consoles, the TF5, TF3 and TF1, which feature 33, 25, or 17 motor faders, respectively, along with 32, 24, or 16 rear-panel analog inputs. Each console includes recallable Yamaha D-PRE™ preamplifiers for the first time in a digital console, which facilitates support for live music and events where full setup changes need to be made on the fly. There are a total of 48 inputs on the TF5 and TF3, with 40 on the TF1, including dual stereo analog/USB digital inputs and dual returns. Advanced live recording features include up to 34 x 34 channel recording and playback via USB 2.0 and 2 x 2 with a USB storage device. All of this, plus seamless operation with high-performance I/O racks, makes the TF series an outstanding choice for a wide range of applications. TouchFlow Operation is a new approach to console control that combines elements of Yamaha’s well-regarded user interfaces with an advanced touch panel system, allowing sound engineers to respond to the music and artists on stage with unprecedented speed and freedom. Experienced engineers and newcomers alike will find it easier than ever to achieve the ideal mix. A number of TF series features also contribute to faster, smoother setup. 1-knob COMP™ and 1-knob EQ™ features make it easy to dial in the ideal sound via a single rotary control on inputs for adjusting individual sources and on outputs for overall sound control.

  • Yamaha Guitar Information
    Yamaha Strengths, Artist’s Advantage “Yamaha Guitars: Essential Knowledge” has been created to give you a behind-the-scenes view of the surprisingly vast and varied resources, facilities, skills, and people involved in making Yamaha guitars the special instruments that they are. Yamaha’s enviable position in musical instrument manufacturing is not only a result of more than 120 years of experience (the company was established in 1887), but also of the unique strengths that its expansive operations bring to bear. From research and development through design and manufacturing to sales and support, Yamaha goes to lengths that are simply beyond the capabilities of most guitar makers. But an underlying dedication to music and the creation of fine musical instruments is always there, forming a steadfast foundation that often results in profit taking a back seat to the pursuit of quality. Yamaha’s true strengths as a guitar maker are not apparent in product brochures or specifications, but they are clearly reflected in the sound, playability, dependability, and overall quality of every guitar that bears the Yamaha name. “Essential Knowledge” includes information that will hopefully provide a clearer picture of the prodigious resources and effort that give artists who choose Yamaha a significant musical advantage.

    EXHIBITION RESOURCE PACKET Medieval to Metal: The Art and Evolution of the Guitar MEDIEVAL TO METAL: THE ART AND EVOLUTION OF THE GUITAR September 29th, 2018-January 6th, 2019 How to use this resource: This packet is designed to be flexible. Use it to help prepare for a docent-led tour of the museum, to inform a self-guided tour, or to discuss selected artworks in your classroom, whether you’re able to physically visit the museum or not. The suggested activities (page 7) should be used in conjunction with in-depth discussion of at least one related artwork. The guitar has been a signature element of world culture for more than 500 years. As the guitar’s ancestors evolved over centuries from the earliest ouds and lutes to the signature hourglass shape we all know today, guitar makers experimented with shapes, materials, and accessories, seeking the perfect blend of beauty and sound. Spanning centuries of design and craftsmanship, this exhibition takes visitors through the history of an object that is one of the most recognizable items on the planet. Art and music transcend cultural boundaries while the most recognized musical instrument—the guitar—has influenced culture beyond music. Through the years the guitar and its shape have been integral elements for artists such as Vermeer and Picasso and today they are incorporated into the advertisements of everything from clothes to car. What guitars are in the show? The following 40 guitars are included in the exhibition: Oud (North Africa) Maccaferri Plastic Lute (Europe) Silvertone 1487 Speaker

  • 1 William Hammond Written Thesis 4/21/2017 HOOK Student Guitars
    1 William Hammond Written Thesis 4/21/2017 HOOK Student Guitars Introduction: Hook Student Guitars attempt to reimagine the way that we teach, learn, and play music in public space. Developed in response to the defunding of arts in our public-school system, HOOK guitars have been designed to be more durable, more cost effective, and more easily storable than traditional wooden instruments. These guitars can be purchased by an organization, and then checked out by players via a corresponding guitar pick, a system that promotes communal learning and growth without posing a long-term cost to the institution. Contextual Background: The 2001 No Child Left Behind Act deemed that all national funding to the U.S. Public School System be doled out relative to school’s performance on standardized tests1. These tests encompass what is known as “Core” subjects in the school curriculum: Math, English, Science, and History. When a school performs poorly in these areas, and their funding diminishes, the institution will generally look outside of these areas to make cuts. The first subject to go in many Public K-12 Schools across the U.S. since 2001 has been Music Education2. Brightmoor, a suburb of Detroit, is a community that has seen a substantial amount of hardship since the economic collapse of the motor city in the early 2000’s. Faced with an exorbitant crime rate and a lack of jobs and public services, education in Brightmoor has also begun to suffer greatly. 1 Abernathy, Scott. No Child Left Behind and the Public Schools.

  • Yamaha Guitar Group Announces Acquisition of Legendary Bass Amp Brand, Ampeg
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE YAMAHA GUITAR GROUP ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF LEGENDARY BASS AMP BRAND, AMPEG Heralded and historic family of Ampeg bass amps and pedals will join existing offering of guitar products from Yamaha and Line 6 Calabasas, CA—May 10, 2018 – Yamaha Guitar Group, Inc., the newly formed U.S. subsidiary of Japan-based Yamaha Corporation, today announced the acquisition of the Ampeg brand from LOUD Audio, LLC., a portfolio company of Transom Capital Group. The addition of Ampeg to Yamaha Guitar Group’s portfolio alongside the Yamaha and Line 6 brands adds an iconic selection of bass amps, cabinets and pedals to the solutions already available to bass guitarists through Yamaha bass guitars and Line 6 wireless and modelers. With roots that go back to New Jersey in the 1940’s, the same decade that Yamaha started making guitars, the seeds of the Ampeg brand were planted when Everett Hull and Stanley Michaels began designing pickup and amplification systems for upright basses. In the early 1960s, Ampeg was the first company to incorporate reverb into a guitar amp and in 1969 they introduced the most powerful amplifier ever made – the 300-watt SVT, an amp that has graced the backlines of almost every tour and festival imaginable in its 49-year history. “We couldn’t be more excited,” said Marcus Ryle, Co-President of Yamaha Guitar Group. “Ampeg is arguably the most recognized bass amp brand in the world. They can even be credited with having invented the first bass amp. We are honored to take the baton in continuance of that legacy.” “There is enormous respect for Ampeg within Yamaha,” added Shoji Mita, Yamaha Guitar Group Co-President.
