The sound is the most important aspect of any instrument. The power of the MODX synthesis engine allows the unlimited potential to create your own unique sound demanded by any artist. The MODX sound engine is based on the same technology powering the flagship MONTAGE: AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) sample and synthesis engine and a pure FM-X (Frequency Modulation) synthesizer modernized for amazing sound playback and complex sound design.

AWM2 and FM-X
Only found in Yamaha music synthesizers, the AWM2 engine offers much more than just sample playback. Each of the 16 AWM2 parts features eight fully-programmable synthesizers with a filter (18 different types!,) amplitude, pitch, and filter envelope generators, nine LFOs, 3-band EQ and a dedicated dual insert effect with Virtual Circuitry Modeling. FM-X is an amazingly sophisticated pure synthesizer engine capable of producing classic '80s or cutting-edge, EDM sound with incredible dynamic range, power, and fidelity. MODX features an 8-operator FM architecture and 64-note polyphony, allowing for a massive array of sound design options.

SUPER KNOB
The Super Knob allows simultaneous control of up to 128 parameters in a single Performance. This means you can control nearly anything from mix functions like volume, pan and effect sends to detailed synth parameters like filters, LFOs, and Operators. That's 128 parameters ... SIMULTANEOUSLY! The Super Knob can even be assigned to a second FC7 foot controller making it easy to manipulate the sound when playing with both hands.

MOTION SEQUENCES
Motion Sequences are tempo-synchronized, completely customizable control sequences that can be assigned to virtually any synthesizer parameter and provide incredible new ways of creating sound. Motion Sequences also have dedicated controls on the front panel making it easy to manipulate and change in real-time, providing incredible interactivity and expression.

ENVELOPE FOLLOWER
The Envelope Follower converts audio into a control source for control of virtually any synthesizer parameter. For example, a drum loop could drive effects parameters for a cool rhythm or a vocal recording could control multiple parameters for a "talking" synthesizer. The audio can even be a "live" source through the A/D input.

AUDIO BEAT-SYNC
ABS (Audio Beat Sync) detects the beat of an external device like an electronic drum kit, drum machine or audio player plugged into the A/D input and synchronizes the MODX Arpeggiator, Motion Sequencer or Songs to the tempo of the external input. The MODX synthesizer "listens" to live music and plays in time.

EFFECTS
From high definition reverbs to incredibly detailed Virtual Circuit Modeling (VCM) effects, MODX is loaded with DSP innovation, power and, most importantly, sound quality. Use effects like Beat Repeat, Vinyl Break or Bit Crusher to get EDM sound. The Spiralizer effect creates the auditory illusion of a tone continually rising or falling in pitch without getting higher or lower. You can even add a compressor with sidechain for a modern "ducking" effect. Or go retro with vintage effects like Analog Delay, VCM Phaser or a variety of Amp Simulators. Piano players will appreciate piano-focused effects like Damper Resonance for a super-realistic piano experience and the HD reverbs that let you put yourself in any performance space.

FREE Samson Headphones
This synth comes with a free pair of Samson SR950 Professional Studio Reference Headphones. Featuring a closed-ear design, self-adjusting headband, 50mm drivers, and 10Hz-30kHz frequency response to deliver crystal clear audio for extended listening sessions.

A mean machine ready to devour

I have a Korg Kronos and while that's my go to, this Yamaha MODX6 61 is a monster of a synth...while some of the sounds may not be realistic, they are an absolute blast to explore especially in the synth categories which have a numerous amount of sounds to play with. What's so nice about this board is that all the onboard sounds, are the exact same sounds you would receive if you purchased Yamahas flagship workstation, The Montage...mainly the greatest difference in boards is the editing and creation capabilities but for this price of which is more than half the price less than the Montage, it's the most fun I've had with a board since I purchased the Kronos. Pick this up today...you won't be disappointed!

Highly recommend!

I use this for my church as well as other gigs and all I can say is that this keyboard is amazing. The interface is easy to figure out and I love the touch screen feature. It also helps that it's lightweight and is effortless to carry as well as compact enough to store in my car. I use to play the Yamaha Motif XS6 and the transition from that keyboard to this is effortless. I knew the moment that played this keyboard for the first time that it was the keyboard for me!

I would recommend this instrument.

Enjoying this keyboard. I am still experimenting the sounds but love what I am hearing. The different functions are easy to understand. You do not need to be a tech geek to figure it out.
