YAMAHA MODX6+ 61-key music synthesizer
Description
Take control + stand out from the crowd.
Overwhelming "sound" that breathes life into the music. Advanced "control" that enables the individual and dynamic expression pursued by artists. Lightweight, compact "mobility" that supports active music activities. MODX+ is a music synthesizer that gives contemporary keyboardists who perform in a variety of situations, such as stage performances, live distribution, and music production, an overwhelming expressive power and mobility that can be carried anywhere.
About four years after the first MODX was released (October 2018), MODX has updated the OS (v1.1 → v2.0 → v2.5) according to the needs of the changing scene. MODX+ inherits all of those updates while enhancing sound source performance for even greater expressiveness. In addition, the user memory area has been expanded to support the addition of a large-capacity sound library that is expanding daily. It will be the successor model of MODX with improved basic performance and expressive power according to the change of scene.
Equipped with a Motion Control Synthesis Engine that inherits the technology of SOUND's flagship synthesizer MONTAGE. It is a music synthesizer that combines the high expressive power of a synthesizer that synthesizes and creates unknown sounds from the sounds of acoustic instruments that pursue reality. Corresponding to various music genres and music styles with a huge number of preset sounds. And the processing power that powerfully changes the sound and makes it lively enables the creation of original sounds that musicians crave, and dynamic performance expressions. The uncompromisingly pursued sound quality of a synthesizer will bring you unprecedented excitement in musical expression.
●Hybrid sound source system: Equipped with a hybrid sound source that combines two types of sound sources, AWM2 and FM-X.
●Enhanced 1.75GB memory area: User waveform memory that supports high-speed read/write has been expanded from the conventional 1.0GB to 1.75GB.
●SMART MORPH: By morphing different FM sounds, Smart Morph enables unprecedented FM sound expression.
● EFFECT: From high-resolution reverb to modeling effects using VCM technology, the powerful DSP enables innovative and high-quality effect processing, meeting the expressive demands of players.
● SIDECHAIN: A side chain function that is indispensable for creating EDM sounds. Triggered by the output of a rhythm track or a drum kick picked up by a microphone, this creates a pumping effect that rhythmically changes the volume of pads and other sustaining sounds.
●A/D input: Stereo A/D input for connecting external devices such as analog synths and microphones. The input audio signal can be processed with the same effects as the built-in sound source.
●Data compatibility with Yamaha synthesizers: MODX+ is compatible with successive generations of Yamaha synthesizers.
-MONTAGE/MODX
-MOTIF/MOXF
- DX/TX
●Soundomondo: Social sound sharing service for musicians
● Rhythm pattern: Equipped with a rhythm pattern function that can be used like a drum machine. A unique and original performance that CONTROL artists pursue. MODX+ is equipped with a Motion Control function that dramatically expands the range of performance expression. Bringing the automation used in music production such as DAW and DTM to the field of live performance, it brings dynamic timbre changes that are sequential yet lively. Touch screens and physical controllers that provide convenience in various situations such as stage performances, live distribution, music production, and cooperation with peripheral devices, software, and SNS. Its scalability provides the performance and functionality required by modern keyboardists.
●SUPER KNOB: Control the movement of a huge number of parameters that change the sound with just one knob operation, and put it together as a single musical expression.
●MOTION SEQUENCES: You can control each of MODX+'s enormous parameters according to a sequence to change the tone.
● ENVELOPE FOLLOWER: By using the envelope follower, it can be used as a controller to change the sound by generating control information from the audio waveform input from the part output or A / D input as a source.
●LIVE SET: Equipped with a "live set" function (16 slots per page, 16 preset pages, 128 user pages) that allows you to organize the sounds you want to use in any order.
●Seamless Sound Switching (SSS): Equipped with a seamless sound switching function that eliminates sound interruptions when switching tones. You can smoothly switch to the next tone while preserving the effect that is currently sounding, and you can switch tones without worrying about the sound being interrupted even during a performance.
●Audio Beat Sync (ABS): By using Audio Beat Sync (ABS), the tempo can be detected from the beat of the audio input to the A/D input and synchronized with the motion sequencer and arpeggio.
●Rubber-coated wheels: The pitch bend and modulation wheels, which are indispensable for creating the nuances of your performance, are coated with rubber that has the same smooth feel and texture as the MONTAGE.
- Interlocking with DAW
●Multi-channel USB audio I/O: Equipped with a studio-quality 4-in/10-out multi-channel USB audio interface function.
