Yamaha S70 XS Keyboard Hire in Auckland

Get the useful combination of premium stage piano feel and powerful synthesiser flexibility with our Yamaha S70 XS keyboard hire. Designed specifically for live players and gigging musicians, this 76-key master keyboard is slightly more compact than its 88-key sibling (the S90 XS) but retains the exact same high-quality Balanced Hammer Effect action. This gives it the satisfying, expressive touch of a grand piano without the back-breaking weight, making it an excellent choice for touring bands, corporate events, and session work.

Under the hood, the S70 XS is driven by Yamaha’s renowned MOTIF XS sound engine. It features over 1,000 voices, but its true standout feature is a massive 142 MB of sample memory dedicated exclusively to reproducing the rich, textured sound of Yamaha’s world-renowned S6 concert grand piano. Whether you are playing jazz, rock, pop, or modern electronica, this keyboard delivers the sonic depth you need on stage.

Key Features & Benefits:

• 76-Key Balanced Hammer Action: Enjoy the realistic, weighted feel of a grand piano on a slightly shorter, more portable 76-note keybed.

• MOTIF XS Sound Engine: Packed with 1,024 top-tier normal voices, 64 drum kits, and virtual circuit modelling effects covering everything from lush strings and brass to modern synths.

• Premium S6 Grand Piano: Features an incredibly realistic, dedicated piano sample based on Yamaha’s flagship S6 concert grand piano.

• Built-in Microphone Input: A rear combo jack allows you to plug a microphone directly into the keyboard. You can adjust the vocal level via the front panel and even apply the keyboard’s internal reverb and chorus to your voice.

• Direct USB Recording: Perfect for capturing live sets or rehearsals. Plug in a USB thumb drive and record both your keyboard playing and your microphone input directly as a high-quality audio file.

• Performance Creator: Quickly and intuitively set up complex layers, splits, and drum arpeggios on the fly without diving through endless digital menus.
