YAMAHA MODX6
Yamaha MODX Synthesizers
Yamaha has introduced the MODX range of compact, lightweight synthesizers. The lineup consists of the MODX6 and MODX7,
with 61 and 76 synth-weighted keybeds, and the 88-note MODX8 with Graded Hammer Standard action.
The MODX range features a number of upgrades from their MOXF predecessors, including an AWM2 synth engine with
eight times more waveforms and 128-note stereo polyphony, a new eight-operator FM-X engine with 64-note polyphony, and
Motion Control Synthesis for seamless integration and control of both sound engines. Other upgrades include four-part Seam-
less Sound Switching, the capacity for 27 simultaneous effects, an onboard 4-in/10-out audio interface, and 768 MB of internal
flash memory.
Other features include the Super Knob, which gives simultaneous control over multiple parameters; the ability to send 10
and return four audio channels plus 16 MIDI channels over USB; Live Sets, which allow for performance organization without
copying, renaming, or changing order; and an A/D input that processes external audio sources through the MODX DSP.
