13 Pianos of the MODX - No Talking All Playing [Audio Demo]

A walkthrough of some of the main piano sounds from the Yamaha MODX. All audio is unprocessed, and recorded digitally over USB. Please listen on a good set of headphones or if possible, studio monitors.
The Superknob controls reverb, split balance and other parameters per performance.

[@bolesawgilewicz7786]

Great demo👍👍

[@jazzzman1000]

CK piano samples are much clearer and brighter sadly. ModX pianos are muddy, and bassy with too much reverb. I wanted to love the ModX 😥

[@guinhomusico9504]

Basta editar os pianos ao teu gosto!

[@nelsonclark6824]

Thanks for the video-nice playing; I just got a MODX7 and am so excited!!

[@binojgeorge8079]

Did i hear a Studio Ghibilisque melody starting at 1:10? Anyway nice playing bro

[@RadioAlfarero]

No me gustan nada los sonidos de piano, no suenan reales les falta cuerpo tienen mucho brillo

[@ArthurPrince03]

Sigh if only montage 8 sounded like this through the church speakers and stuff. The pianos are so super thin and weak compare to the audition solos. Only way to sort of fix it was changing velocity offset which ruins velocity…

[@BharathKumarIyer]

Hi. The Montage8 pianos sound great! Maybe you need to configure the velocity settings to match your playing style. The options inside the Utility section is pretty basic, so your best option would be to edit the velocity layers of the pianos you use the most to fit your playing. ✌🏽

[@zzush]

being honest i seriously didn't like the piano sounds on modx they r really thin

[@rensalamanca9885]

Nice, may I ask if how much Yamaha modx8?

[@BharathKumarIyer]

It varies based on your location. In India, where I'm located it's about the equivalent of USD1200.

Hello Bharath,what's that song you're playing with the CFX Moody ? It's really great,is it from a film soundtrack or something ?

[@BharathKumarIyer]

Hey! That's just me improvising based on the tonality of the piano, not really a pre-composed piece or soundtrack. Glad you enjoyed it though. Thank you. ✌🏽

[@Jelsommino]

Did you try to use it with some external 3-sense midi keyboard. Does it support the third sensor events when you're playing piano ?

[@BharathKumarIyer]

Yes. It should support a 3-sense keyboard as long as it sends standard MIDI.

[@chucksyl]

Great demo - and excellent playing! Thanks!

[@johnnyparker2128]

Just got one and trying to figure out where all of the performances are. Sure there's more than what's provided in the top favorites list.

Is there a s700 piano preset on modx or does it need to be found online and Charged apart? Thanks

[@BharathKumarIyer]

There's already a S700 preset on the MODX and the Montage.

[@sokolsound7883]

What is definition of "CFX"?

[@marvin902x]

There is no definition, it's just the top model of the Yamaha CF Concert Grand Pianos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5WQn4Wpdq2Dl6s

[@netomusical1]

Hello Friend. Did you edit any parameters inside the keyboard to make it sound really beautiful or did you just play it without editing any timbre? I am very interested in buying this keyboard, but I have a friend who bought it and then sold it. He talks a lot, but he talks very badly about this keyboard. This keyboard can't sound that bad. If you can answer me I thank you too much, because I am researching him enough to make the purchase and not regret it. Thank you!

[@BharathKumarIyer]

Hi Mercelo. All these sounds are preset pianos, and I have not edited them. If you edit them further, you can get them to sound even better. The keyboard is quite versatile and the sounds are great. In my experience, I've noticed that the pianos are much more detailed on the Korg Krome, but in a band context, the Yamaha pianos fit in much better. Hope that helps. ✌🏽

[@netomusical1]

@@BharathKumarIyer Hello Friend. I am already determined to buy MODX, this keyboard is very good, it has excellent sounds and thanks for your comment.

[@ConeyIsland1952]

Does the bass and rhythm play automatically following the the chords like an arranger kb?

[@BharathKumarIyer]

The MODX is a synth workstation and does not have the accompaniment features like the Tyros or other arranger workstations. But, you could play along with the dual arpeggiators and drum track to play some additional layers. It wouldn't behave or respond like an arranger whose primary purpose is to able to do that. For example, there is no simple way to transition between multiple drum sections of a song like on an arranger.

[@RR_85]

man where you learn how to play like that?

[@BharathKumarIyer]

I'm mostly self-taught. But I have to give credit to decades of playing with other musicians, and listening to a wide variety of music.

[@richardlima8426]

Nice !

[@ERICKCRUZJR]

Amazing

[@caseytator2264]

I realize one thing tho, most of there piano presets are mostly CFX.....I know Yamaha has more pianos in real life, y not implement them in the keyboards?

[@BharathKumarIyer]

You're right. There are a lot of CFX based pianos that come bundled into the MODX. But, there is a massive sounding Bosendorfer sample pack available for free on the yamahasynth website that's worth importing. Alternately, you can import any piano library of your choice into the massive 1gb of sample memory available onboard.

[@caseytator2264]

@@BharathKumarIyer yes bro I know but I'm like, y do they have to have half of the piano library in the keyboard to be cfx? And it's all layered with sounds that any of us can create with our eyes shut, I love the keyboards Yamaha makes but they need to take a different approach with their piano libraries.

[@iondelic5967]

@@BharathKumarIyer is there any tutorial on how to upload the piano library into the keyboard? :) TY!

[@vanessajazp6341]

THIS is the video I've been looking for since I first got interested in the MODX8!! All those other great features don't mean a lot to me if the core pianos aren't superb. THANK YOU for posting this! The music you're playing with CFX Shrine is very reminiscent of the soundtrack from the film "The Fountain". Perfect mood for this sound!

Sir is the tones pre installed or do we need to get the tones separately?

[@jumpingman8160]

[@ryanbautista885]

does this keyboard has built in speakers?

[@BharathKumarIyer]

Nope. No onboard speakers. These synthesizers in this category usually don't come with speakers. They are meant to be used with external speakers.

[@DerekD026]

Can I use a 1st generation IPad mini to do this?

[@BharathKumarIyer]

Should be possible. You'll need the relevant camera connection kit for your iPad mini

[@harrygats]

Hi youre amazing. How do you record your sounds? Thanks

[@BharathKumarIyer]

Thanks! The MODX sends audio over USB to the computer. I record the audio into the computer on a DAW, either Logic Pro X or Reaper.

I purchased Yamaha Modx6 yesterday. In the category search option, i found out that therevare no sounds in rock/hip-hop category provided. Can you please give your inputs on this.

[@BharathKumarIyer]

The primary sounds for rock and hip-hop would be the keyboard essentials such as Pianos, Organs, Clavs, Wurlitzers, Rhodes and Synth Brass. I hope that helps. ✌🏽

[@lfjv]

@@BharathKumarIyer it doesn't help as i have already bought it.

I prefer Pianoback. For me it's the perfect blend of piano and pad, and the super knob makes it even better.

@@sayantanroy6111 it's a preset in most Yamaha keys. It goes back to the Motif, if I'm not mistaken.

Do you know if you can turn off the light of the wheel knobs? At least not lights up with a certain tempo

Yes! You can dim the Super Knob lights, and disable flashing under the Utility page. Go to settings-->system and there on the bottom you have settings for Knob Flash & Brightness. ✌🏽

[@wahyuwidyawan7602]

Very good demo. It's will be great to compare it with rd series on a huge stage sound system rather than on a headphone to make a different of the both sound engine strength, quality, and of course the ambience

[@PlanoFSXer]

I came here to see was the no-talk playing; not disappointed! This is one of the best videos on the MOD X6. I am planning on getting one within the week since my PA4X-76 is kind of heavy to lug around. Thanks again. Allow me to digress; just saw your travel video; it's very rare to see the meetha paan and rhodes piano sounds all in one video :) Looked like it was IGI that your flight took off from. Edit: I was wondering if you play Indian raagas on your keyboard? or, it is all western?

[@BharathKumarIyer]

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to write in. Appreciate it! Though my training comes from the Western approach, I think in my playing with various amazing Indian classical musicians over the years, I've been able to integrate a more raaga-style expression in my melodies. And of course having grown up with Indian classical music, those raagas will always be inherently a part of it.

Bying a synthesizer for playing piano 🤦🤦‍♀🤦‍♂

[@BharathKumarIyer]

Hahah! It's got 2engines. A sample engine and a Synth engine. Lots of people use it primarily in the sample engine context, so it becomes pretty important that the sample libraries sound good too. Wouldn't you agree ?

[@fahimdawer]

Dear is the sound changes smoothly or there is a cut issue?

[@LustForKeyboards]

It changes smoothly.
