Yamaha MODX6+ Compact Music Synthesizer
MODX+: compact high-end synthesizers
When they were first introduced in 2018, the MODX synthesizers already impressed with their extensive features. Inspired by the exceptional functionality and sound of Yamaha's MONTAGE synthesizers, the MODX series combined the multifunctional Super Knob, four faders and a touchscreen with a mix of sample-based and FM sound generation, just like their big siblings. MODX is all about mobility, giving musicians the ability to unleash the power of the MONTAGE synthesis engine on stage without having to carry too much weight. A steady stream of updates to the instruments' functionality and sonic range also helped to inspire musicians and listeners alike from stages around the world.
With the MODX+ models - new for 2022 -, the hardware is now also undergoing an update. The three new synthesizers offer 1.75 GB of internal flash memory - an expansion of 75 percent! This gives musicians more space for their own samples and synthesizer libraries. The plus also stands for more polyphony, as 128 notes of stereo AWM2 and 128 notes of FM-X allow for extended playing possibilities and a gain in freedom in sound design. Even the feel has been further improved: both the modulation and pitch wheels are now rubberized to deliver more grip and better control during passionate performances. So a MODX+ also already feels like a MONTAGE.
