Yamaha MODX8 88-Key Synthesizer with Weighted Action Keyboard

The Yamaha MODX is a synthesizer with an 88-key, weighted keyboard action, with over 125 years of Yamaha piano-building expertise combined with 40 years of designing industry leading synthesizers. The perfect companion for the player looking for a piano-focused instrument with a huge variety of sounds. Sound Sound is the most crucial aspect of any instrument, and the powerful synthesis engine of the MODX delivers unlimited potential for creating unique and interesting sounds for any artist. Based on the same technology that drives the flagship MONTAGE, the MODX's sound engine uses AWM (Advanced Wave Memory 2) sample and synthesis engine, along with a pure FM-x (Frequency Modulation) synthesizer, with modern refinements for outstanding playback quality and complex sound design. 192-Note Total Polyphony With 128-Note stereo AWM2 polyphony and 64-notes of FM-X polyphony, the MODX's unique architecture ensures this polyphony is constantly available without latency or compromising other features. Integrated Flash MODX features 1GB of non-volatile user flash memory with high speed transfer for your own custom samples or synth libraries available from yamahamusicsoft.com. Effects From incredibly detailed Virtual Circuit Modeling (VCM), to studio-grade reverbs, MODX is packed with DSP innovation, power and sound-quality. Achieve EDM sounds with effects like Beat Repeat, Vinyl Break or Bit Crusher, or use The Spiralizer effect to create the sonic illusion of a sound continuously rising and lowering in pitch without getting higher or lower. There's even a compressor with a sidechain for a contemporary ducking effect! Step into retro territory with vintage effects such as Analog Delay, VCM Phaser, or a range of Amp Simulators. Piano-centric effects such as Damper Resonance delivers an authentic piano experience, and the high-definition reverbs immerse you in any performance space. Multi-Channel USB Audio Interface The MODX includes a professional 4-in/10-out, multi-channel USB audio interface, a feature welcomed for modern computer-based music creation. Connection via a single cable alleviates the need for an external audio interface. iOS compatible. Super Knob Get simultaneous control of up to 128 parameters in a single performance using the Super Knob. This gives you control over almost anything from mix functions like volume, pan and effect sends, to intricate synth parameters such as filters, LFOs and Operators. You can even assign the Super Knob to a second FC7 foot controller, allowing you to manipulate parameters while performing with both hands. Motion Sequences Motion Sequences are tempo-synchronized, totally customizable control sequences that can be assigned to essentially any synthesizer parameter, and achieve astounding new ways of creating sound. Motion Sequences feature dedicated controls on the front panel, making real-time manipulation and changes a breeze, providing amazing interactivity and expression. Envelope Follower The Envelope Follower converts audio into a control source for the control of practically any parameter inside the synthesizer. Use a drum loop to drive effects parameters for a rhythmic effect, or a vocal recording to control multiple parameters for a talking synthesizer. You can even use live audio via the A/D input. Audio Beat Sync By detecting the beat of an external source, like an electronic drum kit, drum machine, or audio player connected to the A/D input, ABS (Audio Beat Sync) synchronizes the MODX Arpeggiator, Motion Sequencer or Songs to the tempo of the external input - the MODX listens to live audio and plays in real time.
