Elevate Expression Everywhere
Built for working musicians, the Yamaha MODX M Series delivers expressive control, streamlined workflow, and exceptional sound in a lightweight design that’s perfect for both stage and studio.
At the heart of MODX M are three powerful sound engines that cover everything from vintage warmth to modern brilliance:
AN-X: Recreates the character and texture of classic analog synths
FM-X: Produces cutting-edge, dynamic FM synthesis tones
AWM2: Delivers ultra-realistic acoustic and electric instrument sounds
With up to 268 notes of polyphony across its engines, expanded memory (10.7GB AWM2 + 1.9GB user flash), and stunning sonic detail, the MODX M Series inspires limitless creativity.
Take full command of your sound with high-resolution controls including the Super Knob, eight faders, Pitch Bend, and Mod Wheel—each designed for ultra-smooth, precise response. Dedicated Part and Scene Selection buttons make it easy to layer and switch sounds live, enhancing every performance with effortless expression.
Navigate and shape sounds faster than ever thanks to the color touchscreen, six display knobs, and upgraded user interface. Features like the Stereo A/D input with dual insertion effects and USB MIDI 2.0 simplify both live and studio setups, offering a professional-grade workflow in a portable form factor.
The MODX M8 features an 88-key Graded Hammer weighted action, providing an authentic piano feel—heavier in the low register and lighter in the high keys—for nuanced, natural performance.
Take your sound beyond the keyboard with the Expanded Softsynth Plugin (ESP)—a free software version of MODX M for your favorite DAW (available early 2026). ESP lets you create, edit, and mix performances anywhere, offering unprecedented integration between stage and studio.
AN-X Engine: Dual filters, 10 filter types, pulse width modulation, oscillator self sync, ring modulation, FM/wave share, and voltage drift simulation
AWM2 Engine: Up to 128 Elements per Part for deep layering and rich articulation
Motion Control Synthesis: Includes Motion Sequences, Super Knob, and Envelope Follower for next-level expression and automation
MODX M connects seamlessly to your setup with USB MIDI 2.0 and a 10-output / 4-input audio interface, simplifying multitrack recording, virtual instrument monitoring, and MIDI control—all through a single USB cable.
Cubase AI provides powerful tools for recording, editing, and mixing—an ideal introduction to professional digital audio workstations.
