No. It's a frequency modulation (FM) synthesizer. A workstation implies multiple synth engines (usually with drums) to compose an entire piece of music.
The guy below doesn't understand what a physical workstation is, and that's why he is nonsensically ranting about DAW software that nobody asked about. This will show what a workstation is:

This is not a workstation, but it can be played standalone.

Long live the DX7!
...
Yamaha manufactured reduced versions of the DX7 sound chip, such as the YM2612, for use in technologies such as the Sega Genesis game console.
It is a good sounding 4-op FM synth- has variable saw-to square waveshapes and flexible feedback on the operators that (coupled with some nice built in effects) help it 'compete' with the old 6-op DX7 (though it is not the same- many folks will find what they need here). It is also a cleaner - more Hi-Fi sound than the original DX7 (if that matters to you).
8 note polyphony (only plays a maximum of 8 notes at a time) vs 16 on a DX7.
Summary- it sounds very good, and is fun to play (most Mini-keys are awful... like the popular Microkorg https://en.wikipedia.or

But if you just play the presets ...
and don't need the keys
or polyphony-
....then yes... it's an option. :-)

You should see dorian concept shred a microkorg
but I am old- and thus irrelevant (though I do understand any instrument in the hands of a great artist will shine like no other!) :-D peace...
