Yamaha | MODX+ Overview

Check out the compact, lightweight MODX+ synthesizers, designed to help you take control of your sound and stand out on every stage, studio or stream.

MODX+ is powered by the same innovative technologies found in our flagship MONTAGE synthesizer including the AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) sample and synthesis engine and a pure FM-X (Frequency Modulation) synth engine for amazing sound playback and complex sound design.

MODX+ Motion Control brings the sophisticated automation of music production to live performances by giving you simultaneous control of up to 128 parameters. So you can shape live sound like a conductor commands an orchestra.

My gosh... EVERY TIME a new keyboard comes out all people do is complain, complain, and complain. No one ever mentions how lucky we are to have all this cool technology.

I'm still enjoying my DX 7 2d today

[jmjourneys]

This looks a lot like Bert Smorenburg was playing this… I would love to see him do a full video on the MODX+!

2022 and I'm still playing my MOX8. MODX+ doesn't have enough wow factor for me to upgrade. Maybe next generation after MODX+ will be more enticing.

I just bought one. I can’t wait to dive in.

Two things need to be copied from the SY77-99 series; Dual input on every operator which give you freedom where you assign feedback loops (SY has THREE feed back loops) AND... more FM base waves (the SY has 15 to choose from assignable to any and all operators) as opposed to MODX/Montage 2. SY series were a true monster in the FM game back then and the TG77 Rack version (to this day) are highly sought after. YAMAHA... just something to consider. :)

Oh wow! What a synth! It has got so close to Montage that it reminded me of Nautilus and the Kronos.

Best product showcase I’ve seen in a very long time. Can’t wait till my MODX+6 Arrives!

[joshuacornett]

With ASM managing to put a really nice keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch into their very not plastic $1, 299 Hydrasynth, it seems like a real missed opportunity that the MODX+, at this price point, doesn't even feature basic mono aftertouch, and the Montage—certainly at that price point—should have poly aftertouch. The MODX/Montage engine has so much potential for expression, as the knob demonstrates, but putting all of that control and expression at the player's fingertips without requiring them to reach up and grab a knob would help these instruments more fairly earn their price.

Fantastic sounds and music! Well done Yamaha and Dom 👍!

[RoyMaya]

I wish Yamaha would make a desktop version. I could do without the keys since the keybed isn't that great, plus it would save space in the studio.

[Culture_of_Ghosts]

So the guts are nearly on par with the Montage now. I'm thinking that when the AN-X engine is eventually introduced, the Montage will get it in an update for free, whereas MODX+ owners will probably have to pay for it. I'm thinking along the lines of the Roland Fantom & the Fantom 0 series!

[LuigiMaesano]

I own a Modx7, please show a comparison chart of the differences between MODX and MODX+

[macguy]

Oh! È un controller così bello.
Devo davvero considerare l'acquisto di questo.
Grazie per l'ottima recensione, Paolo!👍😎👍
Un buon weekend a te e alla tua famiglia.
Pace e amicizia 😃🙏💗

I sincerely hope the keybeds for the 6 and 7 have been upgraded (fingers crossed)

[ramim.]

Thanks for the player and Yamaha So Great Keyboard sounds!

[SessionsWithMike]

After trying this out and the previous modx, I think you all are seriously underestimating how important an at least half decent keybed action is to players with not updating that serious weakness as well. So my big question is if Yamaha is not wanting to put much attention into the keybed or key action on the modx(+), imo the worst of the keyboards in this price range to save money, why not just make a sound module version? Much like the past motif racks? That way instead of this poorly constructed keybed, we can use our own midi keyboards and you'll still be at a similar market price point with a lower cost to manufacturer and less parts than the montage.

[sunnyschramm]

When will the plugin/editor for the MODX series (old and new) be released? The structure is identical to the Montage - and nobody buys a Montage because of the plugin. So why exclude/neglect other customers? 💚

[happymonday]

This is one of best tunes i ever heard

[nautiliusmolpheus]

I am waiting to hear a kind of firmware update for my Modx from Yamaha
