Yamaha MDX6+ Synthesizer

The most important element of an instrument is the sound. The MODX+ ensures that every detail of your music sounds great. The MODX+ uses the same technology that powers the flagship MONTAGE: The 128-voice polyphonic AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) synthesizer engine creates breathtaking emulations of acoustic instruments as well as synthesizer sounds and drums. In addition, the MODX+ offers a 128-voice polyphonic FM-X (Frequency Modulation) engine - a unique and highly programmable synthesis technology for dynamic, electro-modern music creations.
The AWM2 engine is an exclusive sound generator for Yamaha synthesizers that has much more to offer than mere sample playback. Each of the 16 AWM2 parts offers eight programmable synthesizers with 18 different filter types, amplitude, pitch and filter waveform generators, nine LFOs, 3-band EQ and a special dual-insert effect with Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM).
When everything you loved about the DX7 meets Yamaha's latest innovations. The FM-X engine produces classic 80s and innovative EDM synthesizer sounds with incredible dynamics, energy and liveliness. The MODX+ even goes far beyond the possibilities of an original DX7 thanks to its FM architecture with, among other things, up to eight operators, a 128-voice polyphony and numerous filters. In addition, motion control provides never-before-heard sounds with constantly evolving and varied textures.
Smart Morph allows morphing between individual FM-X sounds. An interactive morphing map with up to eight FM-X sounds can be created using a highly developed AI algorithm. This map can then be played either via the touchscreen or using the Super Knob between two set points. The result is an unbelievable number of interesting and completely new sounds.
Save your music at lightning speed. The MODX+ uses a total of 1.75 GB of non-volatile high-speed flash memory with high write and read rates. This is available for both your own and libraries from yamahamusicsoft.com.
The MODX+ is full of powerful, innovative and good-sounding DSP technology that takes care of the perfect implementation of high-resolution reverbs, right through to detailed Virtual Circuit Modeling (VCM) effects. Create EDM sounds with effects like Beat Repeat, Vinyl Break or Bit Crusher. Use the Spiralizer effect to create the auditory illusion of a sound constantly rising or falling in pitch.
Add a sidechain compressor for modern ducking effects. It also goes retro: benefit from vintage effects such as analog delay, VCM phaser and a variety of different amp simulations.
Pianists will feel like they're in heaven or some other incredible performance space as they experience piano-specific effects like damper resonance or exclusive HD reverberation rooms for a super-realistic piano experience.
A stereo A/D input allows external sound sources such as analog synthesizers, vocals or other instruments to be fed into the MODX+'s motion control system. In practice, this means that the control options of the MODX+ go far beyond simple onboard effects processing. Control individual parameters via the physical controllers or let the invisible hands of the MODX+ give you a helping hand via motion control. Add a vocoder, envelope follower or auto beat sync and turn the MODX+'s A/D input into a completely unique instrument.
The sidechain effect is particularly common in modern dance music, where a pad or other sustained part is actively influenced by the kick drum signal. The bass drum sound triggers a ducking effect on the pad sound, which briefly suppresses the signal, creating a pumping rhythm effect.
