Yamaha MODX M7

The Yamaha MODX M7 is a high-performance stage synthesizer designed for musicians seeking power, flexibility and expressiveness.

Beneath its elegant design, it combines three complementary sound engines working in perfect harmony to deliver a sound experience of exceptional depth.

Thanks to its cutting-edge technology, 76-key semi-weighted FSB keyboard and intuitive touchscreen interface, MODX M7 is an essential reference for stage and studio, offering total control and uncompromising expressivity.

Triple sound engine for an unlimited palette of sounds

The Yamaha MODX M7 features three powerful sound engines:

• AWM2: orchestrates samples with 128 voices of polyphony and over 10 GB of internal waveforms, for realistic, detailed acoustic rendering.
• FM-X: offers modern, harmonically rich FM synthesis, ideal for dynamic, evolving sounds.
• AN-X: brings vintage analog sounds back to life with three oscillators and a noise generator, for authentic sonic warmth.

These three engines are unified by the Motion Control Synthesis Engine, which enables smooth, expressive transitions between sounds, for a natural, inspiring interpretation.

An expressive keyboard for precise, inspired playing

The MODX M7's 76-key semi-weighted FSB keyboard offers a balanced, firm feel, ideal for demanding pianists and keyboardists. Its design guarantees excellent bounce, perfect for alternating between percussive passages and fluid strings. This keyboard ensures total control, both on stage and in the studio.

Total control and intuitive interface

The MODX M7's 7" TFT color touchscreen allows fluid navigation between Performances, Live Sets and Arpeggios. The interface has been designed for quick and easy operation, even in the middle of a performance. The numerous physical controllers - Super Knob, 8 faders, and assignable potentiometers - offer instant control of essential parameters, guaranteeing complete creative control.

Power and advanced sequencing

The MODX M7's 16-track sequencer lets you create rich, dynamic compositions with up to 128 patterns and 128 songs. The more than 10,000 built-in arpeggios add an impressive rhythmic and harmonic dimension, for lively, evolving performances.

Modern connectivity and studio integration

Yamaha MODX M7 offers full compatibility with modern production environments thanks to its multi-channel USB connectivity and MIDI 2.0 support. It integrates seamlessly with any hardware or software setup, guaranteeing smooth communication between synthesizer, audio interfaces and DAWs.

Comprehensive software ecosystem

The Expanded Softsynth Plugin (ESP) faithfully reproduces MODX M7 operation within your DAW, for a seamless workflow between hardware and software. Cubase AI software (included) lets you record, edit and mix your creations seamlessly.
