Refreshing their popular MODX series, the new Yamaha MODX+ music synthesizers offer three significant upgrades over the original, each drawn from the flagship MONTAGE, to deliver an exceptional playing experience.
To start, the FM-X synth engine has had its total polyphony doubled to 128 voices, allowing you to play more notes with even more complex Performances. Combined with the AWM2 engine, this offers players a total of 256 voices of polyphony, matching that of MONTAGE.
Under the hood, the flash memory for user samples was upped to 1.75GB from 1GB, allowing users to load more sounds like the free Bösendorfer Imperial Grand library into their MODX+ simultaneously. This, too, matches the spec of the flagship MONTAGE.
Yamaha has also upgraded the pitch bend and modulation wheels from plastic, as found on the original MODX, to the same rubber ones used on the MONTAGE for an enhanced performance feel.
We invited Phil Cornish, a GRAMMY-winning producer, keyboardist and MD for Ye, Demi Lovato, Usher, Diddy and more, and long-time Yamaha user, to check out MODX+.

"Yamaha was popularized heavily in the 80s with the DX7 ... they have increased the polyphony on all of them to 128 which is the same thing you get in the Montage. That's significant because you're closer and closer to that vintage sound" Actually you are moving away from "that vintage sound" since the DX-7 has 16x polyphony.

Tengo el MODX6 hace un año, realmente es muy versátil, pero 128 de polifonía FM creo nunca la necesitare, la rueda de pitch realmente no influye, hubiera esperado una mejora en su secuenciador, el de mi Roland xp60 es poderoso el de MODX es prácticamente inservible, una salida HDMI para extender la pantalla o quizá síntesis VA seria una mejora, pero no veo una característica nueva que me sorprenda como para hacer una actualización

You can't hear the horrible sound of the keybed. You'll hear it once you have it installed at home. Click, clack, clack... right through your headphones... Instead go for the Modx7 or another piano with a silent keybed.

@davidallred991 2 года назад

You would have to make a comparison to another weighted keys unit. I own the MODx 8 and I do think the keybed is noisy (made worse by it not being uniform, some keys louder than others) but I wouldn't switch for a MODx 7 ever as a solution because it is isn't weighted. If you're looking for the feel of a piano you can't compare the two. You would need to compare it to a Nord Stage 3 or something similar. The MODx 7 is a great option if weighted a keybed isn't important to you.

@Info-Ark 2 года назад

Very true both of u. I had a moxf8 and didn't get on with the weighted keys (I'm not a piano player). I've now got the modx7 and for me I love the light synth keys. But I think if I was a more serious player I'd have to go back to a 88 keybed. I had a moxf6 as well but felt the 61 keys are not enough.

@davidallred991 2 года назад

I agree that this isn't much of an upgrade. Would have been nice to see something pushing the product further. As a MODx 8 owner I am glad they still feel the MODx has not hit its EOL cycle so maybe we will get some software updates soon. I am kind of shocked they didn't release a firmware 3.0 along with this MODx plus launch. Maybe soon? I have had the MODx since it first came out and I don't think it had any real competition in its price range until recently. I still think the MODx is a great, but before when someone asked me what to get, the answer was easy. Get a MODx, best bang for the buck by far, just be ready to spend a lot of time learning it because it is a bit complicated to use. Now I tell people to look both at the Phantom 0 and MODx. I have not used the Phantom but I see a lot of features I wish the MODx would have especially in terms of workflow. I just don't feel that these upgrades will make much of a difference to push someone to the MODx if they were on the fence with a different product.

@oversitesurveys6939 2 года назад

I have a MODX8 and find the black keys are shiny and very slippery. Are the keys on the MODX8+ the same or are they a matt finish? They look matt in your video but I know that could be just down to your lighting/camera. I can’t quite justify an upgrade for the other improvements Yamaha have made but if the keybed is better then that might swing it for me. Hope you can answer this. Thanks for the video - you’ve got magic fingers, by the way!!

@kryme 2 года назад

I feel you. I got a MOXF8 and while I love the instrument, the keybed feels surprisingly cheap. I recommend that you go to your next Yamaha dealer and play the MODX8+, there's nothing better than to be able to touch and feel the instrument, esp. when you're sensitive to the keys.

@kryme 2 года назад

I rewatched the video and to me black keys look very glossy, very similar (same?) as on my MOXF8. Maybe the key action is different in the MODX series. Yamaha didn't say anything about a new keybed in their MODX+ promo, so I assume it's the same as in the MODX.
