Yamaha MODX review: Everything you need to know // full tutorial

[@georgesboutz7534]

Being an electronic music composer and having used only analog synthesizers, I am frightened by the complexity of this machine (which I was ready to buy) until I watched your entire video.. You have explained it better than anyone could. Your thorough knowledge of this machine and the way you explained each and every feature is nothing short of brilliant. Thank you.

[@Galv140577]

Being a failed electronic composer who started making music at 16, thought I would be pro and is now 43 and never been pro, I still have my old instruments and the YAMAHA ones still work and I can still produce a decent break beat.

[@djkarlmillion]

Still best synth for price and functions

[@monaaarks7554]

Effrayé ? Carrément ? Pour un compositeur de musique électronique , ça crains

The only review i ever needed 😂❤️

[@performtransform]

I'm similar...be ready to menu dive. Endlessly menu dive.

[@dude65535]

Thank you! You really did cover everything I actually wanted to know to help decide whether to trade in my MOX8 for a MODX8, including things like how you actually fiddle with the FM synth or program your own arpeggios (I will be able to do them!). Thank you. :)

[@rolux4853]

Jerome what do you mean with it seams? Could you tell by looking at the video? Did you play it yourself? Did you read it in a synth forum? And how do you know about the longevity? Do you own it? It’s not that long on the market so the keyboard has to be really whacky if it has already broken down. No offense, I’m just curious how you’ve gotten to your conclusion..

[@bobcatt2294]

@Jerome Casio does make great hallmark level keybeds.

[@heartpath1]

Man, you're good at this. You should have a KZbin channel.

[@iamgeorgesears]

Oh hey there :)

[@bobcatt2294]

If he had one, I would be a subscriber foe sure :)

[@findingsolutions198]

Lol

[@xp50player]

What I don’t like, is that they didn’t update the PCM engine at all, just made you use more parts to get more layers. The good pianos take up 4 of the only 8 available live parts. Kronos and new Fantom take 1 for the best piano, out of 16 live parts, with even more modeled realism features. I understand they wanted to maintain backward compatibility with the Motif, but they could have ported their old sounds to a new engine, like Roland did.

[@Philmarusa]

The Kurzweil Forte, as another great piano rig, it is a matter of Marketing. If it they had kept the engine on the MODX exactly the same, no one would want the Montage. Don't get me wrong. The marketing doesn't tell you everything that is different between the two and when you get it , you find out. I may just wait until a used Montage becomes available or get the MODX and take a loss to upgrade to a used montage!!!!! No one wants to talk about these issues. I hate stripped down models but they are necessary in todays battle for you Tuppence!

[@aycc-nbh7289]

There are people who have programmed decent electric piano, FM piano, etc. patches for the Reface DX. Since this synthesizer uses much the same engine, couldn’t something similar be done with it?

[@fpvision9851]

You really should do an updated version of this, since the MODX now got a friggin SEQUENCER with the latest update! Props Yamaha, you made a great synth even better!!!!!

I feel like I need a degree to play this thing . Still good video +

[@asadali2311]

rather a Phd

[@take942]

First: Practice patience with learning. Second: Keep in mind that using the MODX for creativity and composition is basically the sum of simple steps taken in their logically sequential order. Third: Start by breaking down each of those sequential steps, one at a time, written out on paper. Fourth: For each process and its outcome, learn and practice one at a time until it becomes somewhat natural. Hope this helps.

Hi Loopop! Thanks for your excellent work on tutorials! I have a request: can you do an in-depth tutorial on the version 2.0 MODX os? Especially if you could focus on the new sequencer!? I own the MODX7. Thanks again and have a great weekend!

[@loopop]

Thanks very much! Not any time soon, I have quite a few other things to finish prior, but not ruling it out

[@randysonnicksen9475]

This was a fantastic review! You don't gloss over the subjects, but go just deep enough to reassure me that this model can do what I need in each topic area. And, you didn't waste a lot of time jabbering on and on like other reviews I've seen. Obviously there is a TON of material to present here and I thought you found the perfect balance between an overview, and a detailed tutorial. Nicely done!!

[@AliothSenator]

The architecture is deep, but not complicated. People who find the MODX hard to dig into, clearly didn't try Kurzweil's VAST lol

[@lordbachus]

I owned both, with menu driven synths the deeper they get, the more complicated they become. With montage/modx the interface and big screen make programming it a breeze compared to my pc3x or even the predecessor motif.. teh only thing i dont't understand is why yamaha created a new engine for FM, they could have added this to the current engine if they wanted... all they then needed to add would be VA Oscilators and Wavetables and they would have the next generation of Dream synth.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

I owned both, could program both. VAST, barely, as it’s like leaning schematics along with sound structure. I don’t blame Yamaha for taking this approach as they made beautiful FM sounds accessible to the masses. But I also really believe Yamaha is missing out by not offering a true FM synth with 8+ multi-stage, mixed-waveform operators able to be constructed in a user-structured algorithm. Such a unit would be the ultimate FM synth, deeper even than NI’s FM8, but programming it without a hardware interface of many knobs and a large touchscreen would be too much of a challenge to realistically overcome, and result in a costly machine, even if the engine of it were inexpensive to produce.

[@akguni]

Man, it is a fine review of a beautiful synth.. but if you play Tears for Fears as part of that?.... It's not fair: It's mesmerizing!... :-)

[@michaelsmith-ql7ce]

Thanks foe the great video. BTW on the sonicstate video, the Yamaha guy recommended the Richard Devine presets on Soundmondo.

[@reginaldworthington7558]

You really have done a remarkable job on this video. I clicked to see what this synth was all about, more interested in the basic sample sounds like piano, rhythm section, etc. to be honest. But I just had to stay with it until the very end as it was damn interesting to see the deep dive into the synth functions and you did such a great job of explaining. Production values top notch as well. Thanks and well done.

[@foreverseethe]

but he does use jargon and lots. in the span of 1 MINUTE 9:50 - 11:00 i heard lfo, mod matrix, harmonic, sine , fm engine, operators. You have to be versed in synthesis terminology and waveform physics to follow his videos. But I did appreciate the attempt at informing his viewers of fm. And btw i believe the opposite of subtractive synthesis is simply additive or LA synthesis. sorry to be that guy.

[@mikeflick4091]

A phenomenally helpful tutorial on MODX basics! Even though I've owned Montage 6 for more than a year, I learned a few new tricks from your video. The capabilities of the MODX / Montage really are amazing - especially now with the 3.0 / 2.0 OS update. Yamaha seems committed to this platform.

[@lwpweb]

perfect presentation, excellent structured, a comprehensive tutorial in 37 minutes. Awesome. Presenter and MODX King.

[@АнЧес-ч7щ]

Hi, My name Anatoly. I have a problem with which I have not been able to figure it out for a long time. I watched dozens of video clips, but I can not find the answer to the problem. My synthesizer MODX6 stopped memorizing the sounds that I save or which I remember from USB or Live set or Favorite. While the synthesizer is turned on, everything is normal, turned off and all the sounds that I recorded in the memory disappear. I don’t know what I pressed wrong, HELP PLEASE...

[@SOPM2007]

I assume maybe you accidentally activated the option 'Init on Boot' in Utility > Settings > Advanced ?

[@TechGently]

Being deaf in one ear people aren't so clear to me, but your voice is so clear it's no wonder other Yamaha demo people refers people to this page.

[@jaremajanowski7646]

Big thanks. The knowledge you have shared is invaluable, especially for beginners like me. Teaching at its best. Yamaha is my first "serious" synthesizer, so this video was extremely helpful. But enough sweetening, if you could go on with it would be really great. There are still plenty of topics to discuss here. Greetings from Poland

[@synthplayer1563]

Wow, that's so far the best introduction to the technical aspects of MODX! Some thought that Yamaha has no coolness factor anymore but this MODX is awesome. For me one of the best buys at the moment (saying as owner of Moog, DSI, Behringer, Novation, Waldorf, Roland synths). But shame on Yamaha again no aftertouch on keyboard therefore a module version would be even better.

[@geoffk777]

You can buy a Montage, which does have aftertouch. Yamaha had to cut some things from the Montage to get the price down and a keyboard with aftertouch was one of them.

[@YouzTube99]

@Synth Player Agreed that the lack of aftertouch is frustrating. Note that in addition to Yamaha, Korg and Roland (probably others?) reserve that feature for their premium/pro keyboards. To be fair, both the keybed and electronics to support aftertouch can add significantly to the base cost of an instrument. And they want to give us some incentive to spend Big Bucks.

[@gustavoelizondo2498]

The arpeggiators truly blew my mind. I was considering this as my new buy, now I am pretty sure I'll eventually own one! Just need to decide between the 6 or the 7 version...

[@kalinmirchev]

This is not just a review, this is comprehensive, yet simple tutorial, a must see for all Yamaha MODX users, especially for these moving from another brand. Thank you for this exceptional video!

[@marcus268]

Could you do another review, now for the 2.0 SW version, with the upgraded pattern sequencer?

[@Aetila]

The synth is cheaper than the Yammy FS1R FM rack...could be worth having it already for that. One thing is a miss...they could have implemented a piano roll view for fast editing now when it has a large touch screen. Great review as usual!

[@metaspherz]

Yours is the first place I check for new reviews. You never fail to expertly explain in the simplest terms without a lot of confusing jargon. I thought that the MODX was a much more expensive keyboard with all the functions and the touch screen. It sounds amazing. And the price for the 61 key version is very reasonable and much less than I thought. I assumed that a workstation of this calibre would cost a couple grand at least.

[@Danieltoritomayor]

Hi, i like your explain, the review its excellent, better than the Yamaha demos. Thank You.

[@badass.bob1]

I'd really like to see a a video about how this instrument goes at sequencing and sounds for what the millenials would call old school music, like 80s covers. I'm almost 58 years old. I don't need no dreamy new age pads

A MODX6 sits on my Apex dual keyboard stand now. I'm glad that I gave up planning to learn guitar. "Texas Chicken Pick" and the other guitar presets sound great. Well, all 2000+ presets sound great, for that matter. Thanks for another excellent intro and tutorial.

@@daylightflute I only had it for a brief time From a friend and never found a community forum like the Nord one. OnIy afterwards I found soundmondo , is that what you're talking about? I never tried if I actually can save the presets and sounds on the board And then use it as my own without the app afterwards ? the nord forum I can literally search for most classic songs and sounds and I can find something to my liking for a start and then tweak if I'm not in the mood to start from scratch . But I love the flexibility of the modx , and honestly not having such a strong community puts me off since this will be a huge time saver if there's a forum like that. Thanks !

Wow - I'm blown away by both the keyboard and the quality of your review - thanks a million!

[@goodboid]

Love your breakdowns! I wish you could do a deep dive into the Modxs' FM engine. With 8 operators it's probably Yamaha's most powerful FM synth (as is the Montage of course) and by far it's most accessible. Also I can't for the life of me "latch" an arp without menu diving. Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

[@loopop]

Thanks very much! Re FM - noted... I have a bit of a back log of other things but it’s certainly worth a deeper look. Re latching arps - yeah - I actually can’t see why one wouldn’t want arps latched by default - unfortunately the only way I found was indeed changing it to hold in the menu. Or using a sustain pedal - that’s quite a shortcut ;)

[@gregtaras7789]

8 FM operators are no joke, but the king is the old DX-1, with two six-op engines. Which is desperately in need of a reissue, isn't it yamaha

[@McN4styFilth]

Did you end up getting one? I have the 7 and love it. Probably a tad more than my FA06. If you didn't get it and are wanting a mid-market Yamaha WS, I can also recommend the MX. In fact, I probably prefer my MX over the MODX..and it's half the price.
