Yamaha MODX8+ 88-key Synthesizer Features:
The Yamaha MODX8+ is a versatile and powerful 88-key synthesizer designed for musicians on the go. It combines the AWM2 and FM-X sound engines, offering a 128-note polyphony (128-note stereo AWM2 and 128-note FM-X). The expressive GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) weighted keyboard provides a responsive and authentic piano playing experience.
Sound
- AWM2 Engine: The AWM2 engine offers much more than just sample playback. Each of the 16 AWM2 Parts features eight programmable synthesizers with 18 different filter types, amplitude, pitch and filter envelope generators, nine LFOs, 3-band EQ, and a dedicated dual insert effect with Virtual Circuitry Modeling.
- FM-X Engine: The FM-X engine produces classic '80s or cutting-edge EDM synthesizer sounds with incredible dynamic range, power, and fidelity. It features an 8-operator FM architecture, 128-note polyphony, many filter types, and more.
- Smart Morph: This feature enables morphing between FM-X sounds using a sophisticated A.I. algorithm to create an interactive morphing map from up to eight FM-X sounds.
- 256-Note Total Polyphony: The MODX8+ features 128-note stereo AWM2 polyphony and 128-notes of FM-X polyphony, always available without latency or compromising other features.
- Integrated Flash: Includes 1.75GB of non-volatile, low latency user flash memory for custom samples or synth libraries.
Effects
- DSP Innovation: Packed with DSP innovation, power, and sound quality, delivering high-definition reverbs to detailed Virtual Circuit Modeling (VCM) effects.
- A/D Input: A stereo A/D input allows you to bring external sources like analog synthesizers, vocals, and other instruments into the MODX8+ motion control system.
- Sidechain: A popular effect in modern dance music where a pad or other sustain part is "keyed" to the kick drum, creating a "pumping" rhythmic effect.
