The most important element of any instrument is the sound. The Yamaha MODX makes all elements of your music sound amazing. MODX uses the same technology that powers the flagship MONTAGE: 128 notes of AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) sample and synthesis polyphony for stunning emulative acoustic instruments, synth sounds and drums. MODX also features 128 notes of FM-X (Frequency Modulation) polyphony - a unique, expressive, highly-programmable synthesis technology for dynamic, electro-modern music creation.

Every artist wants to find their own sound. Motion Control is designed to bring the sophisticated automation of music production to real-time live performances. All to help you create inspired music that stands out on every stage, studio or stream.

Designed for musicians on the go, the Yamaha MODX is compact, lightweight and mobile.
