Congratulations on the 50th anniversary of Yamaha Synthesizers. Starting with the CS10, then the SK20 in high school, and then the introduction of the DX7, to SY, EOS, MOTIF, MONTAGE, and CP, Yamaha Synthesizers have always been at the side of my music production scenes. The new sounds they present are a driving force in creating new music. I look forward to further developments and discoveries.

Congratulations on your 50th birthday. My eldest son was the SY1, the analog brother, and my deep connection goes back to the FM family, starting with the second son's DX7. I have a renewed respect and gratitude for its history as more than just a tool, but as an instrument that has always given birth to new ideas... but the Stradivarius is still active at nearly 350 years old. 50 is still too young, so its true value is yet to be seen.

Synths can produce an infinite number of sounds, and are the source of limitless musical possibilities. Together with Yamaha Synthesizers, we will paint unknown landscapes and create a new tomorrow. We look forward to continuing to create wonderful sounds that inspire musicians.

Congratulations on the 50th anniversary of Yamaha Synths! Synthesizers and Stage Pianos have always been familiar to me, and always give me new inspiration. They are indispensable to me. They are extremely stable, so I can always perform with confidence. I look forward to seeing more great products in the future!

Congratulations on the 50th anniversary of Yamaha Synths! 30 years ago, the first synth I got was EOS B900. Since then, I've always had a variety of Yamaha Synths on hand, and they are my indispensable "partners" that I can rely on at any time! I look forward to continuing to play and create many more pieces with Yamaha Synths in the future.

From the red YC20 I played at the age of 15, to the "Warm & Fat sound" of the CS80 that I was fascinated by with UK, TOTO, and Vangelis. The sound of the DX7 that rewrote the history of electric pianos. The CP80 played on the PC2002M. Then the MOTIF, MONTAGE, and CP88. I think it's wonderful and amazing that they all have a consistent presence as instruments, and that they are the sounds of the era. Congratulations on your 50th anniversary!

Congratulations on the 50th anniversary of Yamaha synthesizers! My relationship with Yamaha digital synthesizers, which began with the DX7, has now spanned over 40 years. I am full of gratitude for the musical career I've had on stage, in recordings, and of course, with all the amazing Synths I've been involved in developing. I look forward to the future bringing about Synths that can play music that AI cannot create!

Congratulations on the 50th anniversary of Yamaha synthesizers. Yamaha Synths have become indispensable companions at live performances. Their wide range of sounds, ease of operation, and the joy of playing intuitively make them one of a kind. We sincerely hope that the sounds of Yamaha Synths that we have grown accustomed to for so many years will continue to sound for many years to come.

Epic congrats to Yamaha and the entire team on your 50th anniversary of creating so many of the greatest synths on the planet! From the CS-5 to the MONTAGE M8x, Yamaha continues to serve as the truest musical extension of my soul!

Everyday that I play music, I play a Yamaha Synth - no joke. Congrats on the 50th Anniversary!! CP70 DX7 DX5 Tx802 KX88 CSO1II VL-1M S80 S90 MOTIF8 MOXF8 MONTAGE MODX8…that’s what I’m talking about!! Looking forward to what comes next!! Thank you to the genius programmers at Yamaha. Shout out to Chris Gero, Tony Escueta, Phil Clendenin, Avery Burdette, Jeff Woods, and the Yamaha Family for 25 years of support. Deep Gratitude.

Congrats to Yamaha for 50 years of incredible synths. As an artist, I can always rely on Yamaha to create synthesizers that allow me to express myself and develop my own sound. It’s a pleasure to be a part of such a great legacy. Here’s to 50 more!

Hey Yamaha congratulations on 50 years of awesome, synth, face melting. You guys are the best in the business. You just keep getting better and better and better. I couldn't do, what I do, without you guys. Congrats, cheers, here is to 50 more years!

Yamaha was one of my first believers in me when i finally took the leap & moved to Nashville to pursue something greater than my little hometown. I use a CP73 stage piano on tour as well as a CS synth & my Revstar Electric Guitar! I am a massive fan of Yamahas instruments & their genuine dedication to excellence. Their sounds are sprinkled across my records and elevate my live show to another level. I am indebted to their generosity!

The sonically versatile capabilities of the MODX6+ accompany me in the studio as well as on stage.

My journey with Yamaha began when I bought my first reface CP. Since I was traveling a lot, I was looking for a keyboard that was portable and reliable. I ended up also getting the reface CS and the CK88 and never looked back.

Aside from the interface, I really like the CP88's realistic-sounding electric and acoustic pianos. It almost sounds and feels like the real thing to me.

The CK88 offers many features that inspire me as a songwriter by aiding me in the creative process.

With Yamaha keyboards, there's always a connection to vintage sounds, which is really appealing to me because I use a lot of DX sounds and electric pianos. The YC also makes it really easy for me to combine different voices.

Different gigs require different Yamaha instruments. Sometimes I need a lot of sounds and features, and sometimes I just need a good piano. That is why I have all of them.

My journey with Yamaha started in the 80s with the invention of the DX7. When I heard it on record, it changed my whole perception on music – and since then I didn’t look back.

As an early adopter of the MONTAGE, I really enjoy exploring the next M series with poly aftertouch and the great AN-X-engine. I think the options are nearly limitless.

I am fortunate to see the birth and evolution of synthesizer technology from my childhood. I dreamed of being surrounded by keyboards, buttons, knobs and lights, making magic, and it was magical to meet Yamaha and create with their keyboards, building my dreams together. Congratulations Yamaha for your 50 years of synthesizers and may you have many more, realizing the dreams of all of us creators of emotions.

Congratulations to my great Yamaha family on your 50th anniversary, I wish you much success and a long life. Thank you for being Excellence in the Market.

I think it’s an amazing time to be a keyboard player.

Yamaha synths are Powerful, Reliable and a beautiful source of inspiration. I’ve felt this since my first one, the DX7, and I continue with this confidence with MODX, MONTAGE, CP… bottom line: if it’s a Yamaha synthesizer, I’ll get the job beautifully done. Thank you very much, and congratulations, Yamaha, for your 50th Synth Anniversary!
