Yamaha 88-key, midrange synthesizer MODX8

Yamaha 88-key, midrange synthesizer MODX8

The powerful controls and multiple synthesis methods for studios, musicians and producers in homes, and concert venues are being offered by the Yamaha MODX8 88-key synthesizer. The sound is triggered from AWM2 and FM-X sound engines by its 88 weighted GHS (graded hammer standard) keys, which is getting the frequency synthesis modulation technology from Yamaha's premium MONTAGE line. Four-part seamless sound switching permits help notes for continuing when changing performance patches.

Easily assignable sliders and knobs, pitch and modulation wheels, and the Super Knob are included in these interactive controls—a large illuminated control that facilitates manipulation of multiple parameters simultaneously. You can rhythmically modify settings and tweak the rhythmic control data in real time by utilizing the MODX8's Motion Sequences. All thanks to Live Sets, which help to structure your performances even without the need to copy, reorder, or rename them.
