Yamaha MODX Synthesizer Review

Yamaha's latest MODX keyboards pack amazing sound into an insanely portable package. Matt Vanacoro's dreams may just have come true.

i wish i could afford something like this... wow and thank you for sharing

[@rolandgerard6064]

Are you going to make a serie like you did for the Motif XF?

[@guinhomusico9504]

please, yamaha montage fsx keybed vs yamaha modx keybed and response. Thanx!

[@ConeyIsland1952]

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

[@CollectiveVoice]

i picked up the modx 7 this weekend, when i play a standard midi file everything change like the pan, volume, but not the patches plus in my daw (digital performer 10) in the patch column no name is showing only a patch number. i was told i need a midnam file so i called yamaha they don't have it do you know how i can solve this problem other than pack it up get something different.

The Leslie effect on that organ though headphones is simply eargasmic!

[@deepakprabhuarumugam2146]

Hi guyz, I do play Indian classicals with more usage of modulation joystick. I am aware that I can use external joystick as midi... Can I use external joystick for inbuilt sounds ???

[@neoison4915]

It's the Mo Dx not Mod X

[@Aleredes]

Modx vs Roland FA ? About rhodes sounds I prefer Roland FA ...

[@smackedsmash2250]

how to save a single instument ??? just bout it. but i hawe to send it back . i cant use this, its now way to save instuments!!

[@sofakingsara]

You can save. Add a usd drive.

[@robertsutton7949]

Pronounced Mo-DX, apparently.

[@rachelhilgert2902]

yup. in the tradition of "Mo-tif", "Mo xf", stuff like that. "Mo DX" is like "Montage DX" . Should have just called it "Montage LT".

[@pianistjustforfun]

after hearing that organ at 3:33 i thought: no development in 25 years...

[@vanessajazp6341]

As the owner of a 25-year-old Clavinova stage piano (with organ) I would have to disagree.

[@savanaviolenta]

another Ferrari chair,jeeeez its like seeing another iMac in a studio setup.Very trendy,yeah :/

[@alphasxsignal]

Game chair for the keyboard,, hahahahhaha

[@vanessajazp6341]

For disappointed organ enthusiasts: buy a dedicated clone-wheel like the Hammond SK1 or the Roland VR730, or a Nord if you have money to burn. Or a Crumar if you want the best value-to-sound you can get.

[@johnnyabdullah7528]

I realize I am pretty off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch new tv shows online ?

[@54froggy]

A review ?? You should change th title, it has nothing to do with a review.

[@feldmann2]

Die Orgel ist armselig. Aber sonst....fantastisch

[@peteroppong1171]

G R E E T I N G S......Sir, you are NOT a big fan of BRASS SOUNDS.....are you. Huh. 3/4 Of this Universe PLAY brass sounds for various purposes. Please do it AGAIN!

[@jumpingman8160]

entitled much?

[@troutmaskreplica1]

Sorry but that organ sound is shite.... I would be interested in picking one of these up, but not hearing anything good about it's organ sounds on the web.

[@Paul_Y_T]

it comes with around 2000 presets, and you can roll your own using sample importing - so a couple of patches on youtube isn't going to give you the best feel for a specific area of interest.

[@adamkraemer9193]

I have the Montage (same engines) and I was able to buy and load the Organ Session sound library from Easy Sounds. It totally expanded the organ capabilities to something I've been completely thrilled with. I know you can import the same libraries into the MODX.

[@stephenlennartz3466]

@@adamkraemer9193 Good point, Adam. I found another excellent option with K Sounds' Organimation ... IF you feel it is needed. Related ... my MODX7 was just delivered yesterday. Busy weekend ahead ...
