The Yamaha MODX7 is the mid-size model of the MODX Series. Offering keyboardists a stunning combination of ultra-realistic keyboard sounds and highly programmable synthesizer sounds, MODX7 is the perfect synthesizer for all-around performances. The MODX7’s has a 76-note semi-weighted, synth-action keybed that’s suited for a wide range of playing styles. Like the rest of the MODX Series, MODX7 gets its power from the same technology found in the flagship MONTAGE keyboard, combining Yamaha’s AMW2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) technology, and the advanced synthesis capability of FM-X (Frequency Modulation). Together, these two iconic sound engines provide a modern platform for amazing sound playback and complex sound design capability. If you're looking for a cutting-edge technology in a 6-octave synth, the Yamaha MODX7 might be the model to choose.

Samples and synths combined

The MODX sound is derived from the same technology powering the flagship MONTAGE: Yamaha’s AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) sample-based engine and the FM-X (Frequency Modulation) synth architecture. This unique mixture results in stunning emulative acoustic instruments, synthesized sounds, drums and more. AWM2 technology allows for a large amount of data compression without sacrificing sound quality, resulting in unparalleled, realistic sound reproduction. On the other hand, the FM-X engine is a highly sophisticated form of synthesis capable of producing amazing sounds with high dynamic range, unprecedented power and fidelity. Together, AWM2 and FM-X give you the ability to create an impressive array of sounds that have never been heard before.

Add movement to your sound

The real performance power of the MODX series comes from its Motion Control technology, putting rhythmic and dynamic control at your fingertips for a unique, personalized sound. The Super Knob allows simultaneous control of up to 128 parameters in a single Performance. This means you can control nearly anything from mix functions like volume, pan and effect sends to detailed synth parameters like filters, LFOs and Operators. Motion Sequences are tempo-synchronized, completely customizable control sequences that can be assigned to virtually any synthesizer parameter and provide incredible new ways of creating sound.

Ready for the road 

Taking a nod from the MONTAGE series, the MODX keyboards have an extraordinary amount of power and features, but the difference is in its form. MODX has a modern design that’s considerably lighter, making transport easier and load-in a breeze. If you’re looking for a lightweight keyboard that can travel easy, but you’re not willing to sacrifice sound and performance features, then MODX is the right keyboard for you. Let MODX empower your creativity and inspire your music. Experience all three keyboards from the MODX series available at Guitar Center.
