Yamaha MODX7 Plus 76-Key Semi-Weighted Synthesizer Workstation with AWM2 Synthesis Tech (Black)

The most important element of any instrument is the sound. The Yamaha MODX7 Plus 76-Key Synthesizer Workstation in Black makes all elements of your music sound amazing. MODX7 Plus 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. MODX7 Plus also features 128 notes of FM-X (Frequency Modulation) polyphony - a unique, expressive, highly programmable synthesis technology for dynamic, electro-modern music creation. Designed for musicians on the go, the MODX7 Plus is compact, lightweight, and mobile at 16.3 lbs.
AWM2
The AWM2 engine is exclusive to Yamaha synthesizers and offers much more than sample playback. Each 16 AWM2 Part features eight programmable synthesizers with 18 different filter types, amplitude, pitch, and filter envelope generators, nine LFOs, 3-band EQ, and a dedicated dual insert effect with Virtual Circuitry Modeling.
FM-X
Everything you love about the iconic DX7 meets the latest Yamaha innovations. FM-X produces classic ‘80s or cutting-edge EDM synthesizer sound with incredible dynamic range, power, and fidelity. MODX7 Plus goes well beyond the capabilities of the original DX7 with 8-operator FM architecture, 128-note polyphony, many filter types, and more. All with Motion Control for ever-evolving and changing textures to create sounds no one has ever heard before.
Smart Morph
Smart Morph enables morphing between FM-X sounds. Its sophisticated A.I. algorithm creates an interactive morphing map from up to eight FM-X sounds. You can ‘play’ this map from the touchscreen or use the Super Knob to move between two points. The result is a staggering number of interesting and interactive new sounds.
256-Note Total Polyphony
The MODX7 Plus features 128-note stereo AWM2 polyphony and 128-notes of FM-X polyphony. Due to the unique architecture of MODX7 Plus and Montage, this polyphony is always available without latency or compromising other features.
Integrated Flash
Save your music in a flash. The MODX7 Plus includes 1.75GB of non-volatile, low latency user flash memory with high-speed reading and writing for your own custom samples or synth libraries.
Effects
The MODX7 Plus is packed with DSP innovation, power, and sound quality to bring you everything from high-definition reverbs to detailed Virtual Circuit Modeling (VCM) effects. Get EDM sound with effects like Beat Repeat, Vinyl Break, or Bit Crusher. Use the Spiralizer effect to create the auditory illusion of tone continuously rising or falling in pitch. Add a compressor with a sidechain for a modern ‘ducking’ effect. Or go retro with vintage effects like Analog Delay, VCM Phaser, or many Amp Simulators. Piano players will feel like they’re in heaven, or some other incredible performance space, with piano-focused effects like Damper Resonance and HD reverbs for a super-realistic piano experience.
A and D Input
A stereo A and D input allows you to bring external sources like analog synthesizers, vocals, and other instruments into the MODX7 Plus motion control system. This means the MODX7 Plus control goes well beyond simple onboard effect processing. Control individual parameters with the physical controls or have the MODX7 Plus provide ‘invisible hands’ using Motion Control. Add the Vocoder, Envelope Follower, and Auto Beat Sync and it’s like the A and D input on the MODX7 Plus becomes an instrument unto itself.
