Keyboard player Jonas Gröning playing through some useful sounds from the new Yamaha MODX synth, including FM-, AWM2 sounds and imported sound from 3rd party manufacturer.
i'm in taiwan, playing keyboard in a church choir, ordered the MODX6 two days ago, now i am getting it in a few hours at the local music store.. excited much! :-)
@@bmhater1283 Its not just some common keyboard, its a professional synthesizer. Its a sound designers tool and boards like these are commonly used in professional studios and by the gigging musician/Professional keyboardplayers etc. A standard keyboard only play back sounds, this in comparison, is highly programmable and offer several sound engines that enables the user to program an almost infinite range of quality sounds.
Yamaha came in to the store i work at and this thing just blew my mind, its the perfect machine for live, record ect. Definitely worth what your paying for
Yes agree, Yamaha has taken the innovative PX5S' highly mobile synth/stage piano concept to a higher level. Basically a Montage in a 30# case = nice. Plus it has a good price point which we bring in more sales for the budget bedroom studio folks......who will then complain away at lack of features....haha
Best demo I've seen for this board! Curious about the action for the 76-note MODX, but this was the demo that will make me go check it out now! Thanks for a smooth demo and excellent feel on the keys.
Oh my lord, what incredible playing. Truly stunning, from authentic gospel and soul, to classical and cinematic. Yes, the MODX is very cool, but this is ALL Jonas.
Yeah man, honestly I went and demo'd one based on this video and ended up getting the 88 key after hearing it person. 95% of the sound fo the montage for 50% of the price seems pretty great to me! I am going to make patch libraries for it and then buy a montage after I make it rain looool! Thanks for the great video and well recorded sound. Even the official demo's can't do that half the time! Cheers :)
Texaco “Synth machinists” is the appropriate term for all those knob twiddlers and wannabe horror movie score composers. I prefer real musicians. This does *not* mean that one should play a synth like a piano or organ. Making extensive use of modulation *in a musical context* is the deal!
Thank you for not using piano sounds as first demo, but such a enlightened demo instead (at 0:00 - 01:10 ). Also the marimba is fantastic at 1:55 - 2:06 Getting MODX6 soon, I'll play that one for sure!
I needed to pay off some other equipment this year first, but now this keyboard (MODX7) is being shipped to me today! This is one of the better demo videos on RUclips.
Update: I purchased the MODX-7 after listening to the first track several times each day for over 3 days and also did my thorough research (over 9 days at around 5 hours a day). It is the marriage of your: selection of instruments, rhythmic accompaniment, performance, phrasing and overall composition that I realized that indeed the MODX is for my style of writing. This has to be one of the greatest moments for the MODX - full stop. It does not matter the number of LOFs nor oscillators, ultimately it is the sound quality that rules. Have you completed that composition from the opening video?
Wow! That’s a great complement! 🙏 It is a inspiring synth for sure. Let me know when you have uploaded your version of a Pearly Gates composition. In fact this was an ”in the moment” improvisation. 😎 Thanks again!
@@PAGmusic What you were playing was a version of Pearly Gates? May I ask if you can give a link to any version of Pearly Gates which sounds like anything like your version, I could not find one. (BTW, just unpacked the MODX! )
I love my Mo.. Being a roland user all my life.. not the gimiike stuff.. just the sounds are so so good. my best purchase in many years of being a Roland fan
Se vc for fera nas teclas vale a pena ter um, mesmo sabendo que custa o valor de uma moto mas se for apenas para brincar é melhor ter um pobre e fracassado Casio.
Perhaps it's time to reconsidering Yamaha synths ? I love this sound mixed with AWM2 and FMX. I have a AN1X, a CS2X, a DX7, a VL7, a VL70-m just because I loved the sounds ! The next will be a MODX7 ! Thanks for your demo, it's a great one !
Nice, thanks! I played one today for the first time, quite impressive. I make electronic rock and it's not really analogue sounding for the synth patches but they're still quite usable.
Thanks for the comment, it is impressive indeed. Oh cool! I know what you mean. The good thing is that you have flash memory so you can load what every you want. If you like analog check out Phat Analog library I, II and III. The "classic poly" sound in the demo is from the Phat Analog III library. You can also auto sample your old analog synths with "Sample Robot" and turn them into Montage/MODX format.
Thank you for this inspiring demo! You reference the Phat Analog libraries 1, 2 and 3. Where do I find these libraries? Just getting started here. Ordered my MODX7 just a few days ago! Kindly advise and thanks again for the excellent demo!
Hi again Stephen,You will find them here. easysounds.eshop.t-online.de/epages/Shop40690.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Shop40690/Categories/Yamaha_MODX_Premium_Series They have some cool stuff. Really love the Phat Analog III, great library to add some analog classics to the MODX.
Great first impression. Thanx a lot! How about a second video in which you demonstrate the organ sounds with and without Leslie for example. Those sounds are also really awesome!
I love the sounds from this. The only problem I may have is the quality of the synth keyboard in the 6&7. I wonder how the fast the MODX 8 keyboard is for quick riffs?
I havn't played a MODX, but I own the previous model MOXF 6. I guess the keyboards are quite the same and there is not any problem with quality or playability...
Modx8 has piano style keys. For playing Hold the line by toto i use a second keyboard connected thru midi because it is too hard to play fast and precise chords on the Modx8
Nice with some chillout themes where the arpeggiators really shines :-) We dont want to hear the usual instrument stuff, nothing has changed here ;-) Show us the full capacity of the multiple arpeggiators and some of the new effects -plz:-)
Hi Thomas! Thanks for the comments. Yes, the first patch really shows the soundquality of both sample engine and FM engine. It is a bit tricky to please everybody unfortunately. We you say "we", that is not everybody. I get all kinds of requests, check out the other comments. :) - Some wants pure organ demos, others only FM and your request is for the muliple argeggios and FX. Live keyboardist tend to want to hear usual instruments as it is what they normally need most, and that category of sound has changed and improved a lot for sure. Tried to make a mix of both synthy sounds, arps and organic ones. Happy to hear that you want to hear more though. Will try to collect requests and see if I can come up with something :) All the best
@@PAGmusic You are correct, Jonas. I play in a classic rock band ... so I need the usual suspects--pianos, organs, brass etc. That said ... I also enjoy the material that Thomas is requesting. Thanks in large part to this demo ... I ordered my MODX7 a few days ago and should have it by this weekend! Very excited! Honestly ... I was just hours away from ordering a Roland last week when I heard about the new MODXs. My research included reviewing demos like this one and plans changed!
@@PAGmusic thanks, can it do a real cathedral organ? I am talking make your hair stand on end pipe organ like Kurzweil or Nord? Can I load samples to it? Thanks for your replies. I am thinking of getting rid of my Korg Krome 61 for the Yamaha modx and later adding a Kronos to my collection. I think this Cathedral Pipe Organ from the Motif XS is superb! ruclips.net/video/rJX7K0L5Zb8/видео.html
Where did Yamaha cut corners on this one to make it affordable? The key bed on Montage 8 is awesome, I'm guessing the MODX has a cheaper MOXF keybed. Does anyone know?
G Keybed as you said, plastic case instead of aluminum, less knobs/faders. No panel buttons on the right hand side, 1 Gb flashrom, different converters and 192 notes of polyphony instead of 256. Still sounds good though.
@@PAGmusic Are you able to say how the keybed / action would hold up to someone who is primarily a pianist? Is it a lot worse than the Montage or Yamaha's higher end EPs in this regard? Great vid, by the way.
Hi! I think you will have to try it out yourself as keybed is not only a matter of quality, but also personal tast. I prefer the Montage 8 keybed but I would say MODX8 keybed is still very good. MODX8 keybed is based on the Graded Hammer technology (GHS), which means it the lower keys are heavier and as you move up on the keyboard the keys gets lighter. This is how a real piano/grand piano action works. On the Montage 8 the keys are quiter and feels better, but it is a Balance Hammer Action - same weight all over the keyboard. It also features after touch. If you are used to piano action maybe you will like the MODX8 even better. It is really good for the price. Try both :)
Thanks for the info. Interesting. I note from Yamaha's website that their GHS action is for "aspiring pianists", which worries me a little as that implies "not actual pianists". Interesting to note, though, that the Montage has a balanced action - in that regard it's worth than the MODX for pianists, as you imply. Thanks again.
duketranslucent3rd no the Yamaha Montage does not have the same Keybed all over the piano although it’s Keybed is crazy good but it is heavier on the low end and it gets lighter like a real acoustic piano and it’s beast the MOXF has a waaaaayyy better Keybed then the MODX hands down go check for yourself.
The only big problem with this Synth is the Keys quality and no after touch. Compared to Montage, Genos, Tyros and even Korg PA3X,PA4X so far appart but looking at the cost I can see why. It sounds great and same as Montage but not in build quality and a few missing features.
Desi Dhamak MTX Thanks for the comment. Original sound straight in to Apollo twin. Only set levels (manual normalizing). For a couple of sounds some small adjustments to the internal effects in MODX. It sounds very good itself. Thanks
Dear PAGmusic, can you please share with me how you made the preset at 2:13? I can’t get this smooth DX7 sound from the factory preset. Sounds very different and inferior to yours. Thanks a lot in advance.

Thank you, Stan!
I've just got mine for Christmas 2020!
Very good playing here, especially the chord progression for the PWM pad.

finally a demo video from someone who can really play :-)
Enie009 Thanks a lot for the kind words. :)
There are a lot of synth machinists out there but you are a Player! Nice.
Texaco “Synth machinists” is the appropriate term for all those knob twiddlers and wannabe horror movie score composers. I prefer real musicians. This does *not* mean that one should play a synth like a piano or organ. Making extensive use of modulation *in a musical context* is the deal!
And not all of that RIDICULOUS" speaking. Just play the thing and let us enjoy, right? This guy is sick! I love his feel of the instruments he play.
Thank you for not using piano sounds as first demo, but such a enlightened demo instead (at 0:00 - 01:10 ). Also the marimba is fantastic at 1:55 - 2:06
Getting MODX6 soon, I'll play that one for sure!
daylightflute Thanks a lot for the kind feedback 😊 It sure sounds good! That’s great. Good luck and hope you will have a lot of fun with it!
Am receiving one of this as gift on my birthday 01/01 ...Glory to God
Not a bad birthday gift! Happy birthday! 🥳
You are blessed
I needed to pay off some other equipment this year first, but now this keyboard (MODX7) is being shipped to me today! This is one of the better demo videos on RUclips.

Yo Finally I got my Modx 8❤️
Thanks a lot dude for this amazing demo
The intro is absolutely stunning !
Would love this keyboard. Can only dream for now. Maybe one day.
@@holygeneration7 Where?
definitely get a mod pedal for port 2 to allow you to move the superknob! Thanks for the demo
Brazzo Absolutely, always use a Yamaha FC7 expression pedal for that, but for the demo I thought it was more visible to use the superknob itself 😊
Just excellent on that opening track. Thumbs up.

It has a quick response.
2 years late but you go with MODX 7. MODX 8 it has piano style keys and for quick riffs I dont know.
Modx8 has piano style keys. For playing Hold the line by toto i use a second keyboard connected thru midi because it is too hard to play fast and precise chords on the Modx8
Thanks for a good demo, is this model have a sample future?
Thank you! It doesn’t have a sampler onboard but a sample player.
Great sounding board. When will Yamaha keep up with contemporary drum sounds?

On the Montage 8 the keys are quiter and feels better, but it is a Balance Hammer Action - same weight all over the keyboard. It also features after touch.
If you are used to piano action maybe you will like the MODX8 even better. It is really good for the price. Try both :)
