Yamaha MODX8+ 88 GHS-Weighted Key Synthesizer

Yamaha’s MODX series combines cutting-edge creativity and technology into a high-performance synthesizer designed to meet modern needs. The MODX+ enhances this innovative model, providing even greater sonic possibilities with an impressive 256-note polyphony. The updated MODX operating system introduces new features such as Voices and Live Sets, offering increased flexibility for both composition and live performance. With 1.75GB of onboard flash memory, there’s ample space for your custom sounds and samples, unlocking more expressive potential. Like its predecessor, the MODX+ incorporates powerful technologies from Yamaha’s flagship Montage series. The AWM2 sample and synthesis engine has been upgraded with eight times more waveforms, and the 8-operator FM-X engine has been optimized to deliver dynamic, complex sound design. Additionally, Motion Control Synthesis enables seamless integration and control of both sound engines for a truly versatile experience.
