The colors and finishes shown may vary from those on the actual products.For the keyboardist needing a wide range of expressive keyboard sounds, MODX is a synthesizer with ultra-realistic instrument and highly programmable synth sound. I’m pretty well convinced that the Yamaha MODX leak is legitimate.
I love my Montage, but after today it's staying in my home studio and I don't have to move that 65 lb. Pressing ground-breaking advances ported from Yamaha’s leader Montage arrangement, the MODX range includes various best in class updates from their MOXF ancestors, including the AWM2 test and amalgamation motor braced with multiple times more waveforms, an incredible new 8-administrator FM-X motor modernized for incredibly unique sonics and complex sound plan, and Motion Control … Empower your creativity, take control and stand out from the crowd with MODX: a compact, lightweight synthesizer designed for inspired music-making. Yamaha MODX vs. Montage.
Seamless Sound Switching (SSS) is supported for performances with up to 4 parts (versus 8 Montage parts).
The leaked write-up does not mention a “performance recorder,” so this is a total blank spot, too. The Montage has a metal chassis, balanced outputs, internal power supply (AKA “AC power”) and an FSX keybed with aftertouch.
Ideally, we'd like a 73-note weighted version, or a more stiffly sprung waterfall keybed version which transverses synth sounds and pianos nicely without the extra weight. Pricing for all models is yet known. Given the history of the MO product line, one could also expect fewer sliders, knobs and buttons.
This is important to me because I’m holding down bass and melody lines with our trio. Take this speculation with a grain of salt as it’s trying to read between the lines of the write-up.The second concern is a serious one because Yamaha ditched a whole raft of buttons from the right hand side of the front panel (cost saving!)
MODX has over 125 years of Yamaha piano-making craftsmanship coupled with over 40 years of creating industry-leading synthesizers.
beast to gigs.
I’m glad to see the return of sliders, by the way. Each control type has a button to select between group 1 to 4 and group 5 to 8.The leaked write-up suggests that the MODX has the same effect algorithms as the Montage.

MODX7 For the keyboardist needing a wide range of expressive keyboard sounds, MODX is a synthesizer with ultra-realistic instrument and highly programmable synth sound. Posted on September 9, 2018 by pj. There is so much yet to learn about the MODX. The MODX features the same technology as MONTAGE synthesizer modernized for amazing sound playback and complex sound design. I've had a Montage 8 since it came out in 2016. I must make fast patch changes or something gets dropped musically.
BTW, I think Yamaha will pronounce the name “MO D X” to reflect a continuation of the MO heritage and to emphasize the FM-X technology by recalling the DX synth line.

Therefore, I expected a plastic chassis, unbalanced outputs, external power supply and a synth action (61-key model) without aftertouch. It will be a great centrepiece in a large studio but for more compact spaces, the 61 or 76-key models are better suited.
