And due to the unbeatable duo of Yamaha’s D-PRE amplifiers and first-rate A/D converters you can be sure that every detail of the audio source is captured with stunning clarity and without any unnatural coloration. 

Create cutting-edge electronica

And when you’re ready to hit the road, you will realize that small is simply beautiful.

Enter the clubs and stages
The UR22 is equipped with an independent headphones volume knob, providing DJs an easy way to monitor their tracks. Drummers can use the UR22 to connect their trigger pad module to the UR22's MIDI input and assign it to a software sampler. You can also start and stop playbacks or record loop-based tracks on the fly. Just connect a MIDI footswitch and start a hands- free recording session. And guitarists using a virtual amp simulation suite on stage, such as Steinberg’s VST Amp Rack, just have to plug the guitar into the Hi-Z input to start jamming right away. Thanks to its ultra-low latency, you can always expect get an immediate response and a very natural feeling.
