The MX49 V2 Blue is a solid, portable workstation synth, perfect for beginners or gigging musicians needing a wide range of sounds in a compact package. It nails the classic MOTIF sound, and the included software is a great bonus for getting started with music production. Just be aware of the limitations of the synth-action keys if you're used to a more expressive feel.
