The Yamaha MODX8+ Synthesizer Keyboard builds on the success of the now iconic MODX series featuring expanded memory and polyphony (for FM-X) – now with 128 notes. The MODX8+ comes equipped with the AWM2 engine providing ultra-versatile sound design capabilities. The sample and synthesis engine delivers sonically accurate emulations of acoustic instruments synth sounds and percussion. The FM-X section provides unique and expressive synthesis technology which is highly programmable and ideal for music producers. The MODX8+s onboard memory has been expanded to 1.7GB – the same as the Montage series so you can store even more sounds and patches. It even has a built-in USB audio interface so you can use it for computer-based music production. If that wasnt enough the MODX8+ also features onboard sliders and a crisp LED touchscreen display for navigating between sounds and settings.
Advanced Memory Wave 2 synthesis engine The second generation synthesis engine provides faithful recreations of classical instruments synths sound and percussion. The cutting-edge engine emulates organic sounds with exceptional attention to detail taking your sound design abilities to the next level. The AWM2 engine is specially made for Yamaha synthesizers giving you the ability to process both samples and sounds. Unparalleled expression with Grade Hammer keybed Designed to replicate the feel and playability of a grand piano the Graded Hammer standard keybed provides fluid playability for all players. The added weight to the keys as opposed to standard synthesizer keyboards add a feel of weight to your playing allowing you to express yourself like never before. The SSS technology (Seamless Sound Switching) allows for performances that include up to four parts. This can be highly useful for live performances and studio sessions. FM-X frequency modulation – with expanded polyphony! The unique frequency modulation technology within the MODX8+ gives you in-depth control over your sounds. Building on the original MODX8 design the MODX8+ now expands the polyphony of the FM-X section from 64 notes to 128 notes. The FM-X section features deep programming abilities allowing you to create everything from classic pad sounds to in-your-face EDM basslines. The comprehensive range of filter types provides you with immense control over your sounds allowing you to create any tone you desire. Onboard studio-grade effects The MODX8+ also features a wide variety of high-grade studio effects. The effects range from modern-day reverbs to emulated analog effects. At the core of the effect section is a powerful DSP engine. This helps to provide highly detailed effects and exceptional audio quality. Everything is included from virtual circuit modelling effects to modern-day effects such as Bit Crushing and Beat Repeat. One of the most unique effects included is the Spiralizer. This one-of-a-kind effect provides the illusion of a tone rising or falling in pitch. To top it off the synth also provides sidechaining abilities for added flexibility. Faders encoders and other performance controls Unleash your creativity during live performances using the integrated faders encoders and more. Four faders and encoders can be used to control a variety of settings and functions. Use them to control automation pitch tone and many other parameters. The Super Knob acts as a virtual music conductor. It works by channelling individual dynamic elements into one control. You can use the control to shape the notes from long to short or bright to dark for a uniform change in sounds. It provides simultaneous control of up to 128 parameters in a single performance. Performances are used like user-created presets allowing you to save and recall sounds and settings for live performances. There are 200 preset performances in total with 640 user programmable performances and 5120 library performances. Integrated 2-in/10-out USB audio interface Computer-based music production is the standard within the industry today. The MODX design incorporates a multi-channel USB audio interface to communicate and process sounds to your computer. The interface is coupled with two A/D inputs making the MODX8+ the perfect keystone to any studio or live setup. An integrated USB volume knob allows you to control the volume of the USB audio stream for added flexibility. The MODX Plus also comes complete with a download code for Steinberg Cubase AI allowing you to delve into the world of music production straight out of the box. Versatile envelope follower Envelope Followers are used to convert audio files into a control source for various synth parameters. The versatile envelope follower within the MODX8+ provides in-depth control. For example using a vocal recording to control multiple parameters can turn the MODX into a talking synthesizer.
