Yamaha MODX6+

MODX6+ is a compact, lightweight, 61-key synthesizer designed for keyboardists to create deep sounds that stand out on every stage, studio or stream.

Take control + stand out from the crowd.

SOUND
The most important element of any instrument is the sound. MODX+ makes all elements of your music sound amazing. MODX+ uses the same technology that powers the flagship MONTAGE: 128 notes of AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) sample and synthesis polyphony for stunning emulative acoustic instruments, synth sounds and drums. MODX+ also features 128 notes of FM-X (Frequency Modulation) polyphony – a unique, expressive, highly-programmable synthesis technology for dynamic, electro-modern music creation.

CONTROL
Every artist wants to find their own sound. Motion Control is designed to bring the sophisticated automation of music production to real-time live performances. All to help you create inspired music that stands out on every stage, studio or stream.

MOBILITY
Designed for musicians on the go, MODX+ is compact, lightweight and mobile.

Packed with sophisticated features

In addition to the AWM2 and FM-X sound engines, the Yamaha MODX6+ is packed with sophisticated features (many handed down from Montage), including the Super Knob, which gives you simultaneous control over multiple parameters; the ability to send 10 and return four audio channels plus 16 MIDI channels to/from your computer or iOS device 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.

Also onboard is Yamaha’s Motion Sequences feature, which drives synth parameters via rhythmic control data you can intuitively interact with in real time; an Envelope Follower that lets you use internal or external audio as a synth parameter control source; and a Vocoder effect that re-creates the classic voice-synth sound. Four-part Seamless Sound Switching, the capacity for 27 simultaneous effects, an onboard 4-in/10-out audio interface, and 1.75GB of internal flash memory complete the feature set. The Yamaha MODX6+ gives you a powerful modern synthesizer, a potent controller with a multichannel USB audio/MIDI interface for extensive DAW and VST control, and an expressive 61-note semi-weighted keyboard to drive it all.
