Yamaha MODX6 Plus 61-Key Synthesizer

Description Yamaha’s MODX series took their suite of creative and technological prowess and packed it into a high-performance synthesizer, engineered for modern needs. The MODX builds off this forward-thinking model to accommodate even greater sonic opportunities, bringing your total polyphony to an astounding 256 notes. Plus, the MODX OS introduces new features that include Voices and Live Sets, offering robust flexibility in both composition and performance. The onboard flash memory has been upgraded to 1.75GB, creating more room for your sounds and samples from your collection for more personalized expressive potential. Like its predecessor, the MODX is packed with powerful technologies ported from Yamaha’s flagship Montage series. State-of-the-art upgrades from their MOXF line include the AWM2 sample and synthesis engine, fortified with eight times more waveforms, alongside a powerful 8-operator FM-X engine modernized for amazingly dynamic sonics and complex sound design, as well as Motion Control Synthesis for seamless integration and powerful control of both sound engines. FEATURESSemi-weighted keys provide excellent response with ample room for nuanced expressionMotion Control Synthesis unifies and controls AWM2 and FM-X sound engines256-note total polyphony: 128-note stereo AWM2 128-note FM-XSuper Knob controls multiple parameters simultaneously for highly expressive sound interactionSend 10/receive 4 audio channels plus 16 channels of MIDI via a single USB cableLive Sets allow Performance organization without copying, renaming, or changing order4-Part Seamless Sound Switching: change Performances while holding notes without sound or effect cutoffDirect Control Assignment assigns controls at the touch of a buttonThe A/D input processes external audio sources with your instrument’s DSPMotion Sequences drive synthesizer parameters through rhythmic control data you can interact with in real timeEnvelope Follower allows internal or external audio to be used as a synth parameter control sourceAWM2 provides data compression without sacrificing sound qualityMODX OS expands composition and performance potential, newly adding Voices, Live Sets, and more1.75GB internal flash memory lets you install your own samples and external libraries for a completely personalized sound setFM-X 8-operator FM synthesis delivers amazingly dynamic sonics and complex sound designVirtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) re-creates the sound and behavior of vintage effects and signal processorsSidechain automatically controls dynamic behavior of parts separately from one anotherVocoder effect re-creates classic voice-synth soundsRhythm Pattern for effortless addition of drums or percussion to any PerformanceUSB-to-host allows audio/MIDI connectivity to your USB-equipped computer or iOS deviceUSB-to-device port allows connection of USB flash drives for loading and storing dataAdvanced Integration with Mac/PC SPECIFICATIONS   MODX8  MODX7  MODX6 Size/WeightDimensionsWidth1,333mm (52-1/2″)1,144mm (45-1/16″)937mm (36-7/8″)Height160mm (6-1/16″)134mm (5-1/4″)134mm (5-1/4″)Depth404mm (15-7/8″)331mm (13-1/16″)331mm (13-1/16″)WeightWeight13.8 kg (30 lbs 7 oz)7.4 kg (16 lbs 5 oz)6.6 kg (14 lbs 9 oz)Control InterfaceKeyboardNumber of Keys887661TypeGHS KeyboardSemi-weighted KeyboardSemi-weighted KeyboardInitial TouchYesYesYesAftertouchNoNoNoTone GeneratorTone GeneratorMotion Control Synthesis Engine AMW2: 8 Elements FM-X: 8 Operators, 88 AlgorithmsMotion Control Synthesis Engine AMW2: 8 Elements FM-X: 8 Operators, 88 AlgorithmsMotion Control Synthesis Engine AMW2: 8 Elements FM-X: 8 Operators, 88 AlgorithmsMaximum PolyphonyAWM2: 128 (max.;
