New Yamaha MODX+ Music Synthesizer | Overview and Demo with Philip Cornish

Refreshing their popular MODX series, the new Yamaha MODX music synthesizers offer three significant upgrades over the original, each drawn from the flagship MONTAGE, to deliver an exceptional playing experience. To start, the FM-X synth engine has had its total polyphony doubled to 128 voices, allowing you to play more notes with even more complex Performances. Combined with the AWM2 engine, this offers players a total of 256 voices of polyphony, matching that of MONTAGE. Under the hood, the flash memory for user samples was upped to from 1GB, allowing users to load more sounds like the free Bösendorfer Imperial Grand library into their MODX simultaneously. This, too, matches the spec of the flagship MONTAGE. Yamaha has also upgraded the pitch bend and modulation wheels from plastic, as found on the original MODX, to the same rubber ones used on the MONTAGE for an enhanced performance feel.
