A New Generation in the Mayer EMI Synthesizer Line
With the Vibes MD850, Mayer EMI pushes the boundaries of digital synthesis and introduces the concept of SynthStation: a complete music creation platform integrating synthesizer, drum machine, sequencer, and audio mixer. A direct evolution of the MD900, it retains preset compatibility while benefiting from the new XVAOS 4.0 system, ensuring stability and power.
An Instrument Designed for Creators and Performers
Designed for composers, producers, and live performers, the Vibes MD850 offers a seamless experience between studio production and live performance. Thanks to its enhanced Clip Launcher, polyphonic sequences, and compatibility with external MIDI controllers, it becomes an intuitive control center for your projects.
Cutting-Edge Technology and Sound Innovations
The XVA Engine delivers up to 24 stereo voices distributed across four synth parts and a full drum section. The new Resonator oscillator joins the Wavetable and Algorithmic oscillators to create impressive harmonic richness. Modern connectivity with VibesConnect allows you to manage presets, sequences, and wavetables from a simple web browser. The integration of stereo effect stacks, a digital mixer, and 14 GB of internal memory makes it an all-in-one solution for demanding musicians.
