MODX8+ 88-Key Synthesizer

Yamaha's MODX+ series is a refined evolution of the original MODX, merging cutting-edge technology with high-performance design to meet the demands of today’s musicians. With expanded capabilities and upgraded specs, the MODX8+ delivers an impressive 256 notes of total polyphony—128 from the AWM2 stereo engine and 128 from the FM-X engine—giving you unmatched flexibility for rich, layered sounds and complex arrangements.

The MODX+ is powered by Yamaha’s acclaimed Motion Control Synthesis system, allowing seamless control of both AWM2 and FM-X engines in real time. The updated MODX operating system adds useful features such as additional Voices and Live Sets, boosting your creative options on stage or in the studio. Internal flash memory has been increased to 1.75GB, giving you more space to load your own samples and libraries, offering a highly customizable playing experience.

Drawing technology from the flagship Montage series and significantly surpassing the previous MOXF line, the MODX8+ includes the versatile AWM2 sample engine with expanded waveform capacity and a modernized 8-operator FM-X engine for complex, dynamic sound creation. It's packed with intuitive performance tools and deep sound design capabilities, making it a powerhouse for live and studio musicians alike.
