Check out our demo and overview video of the Yamaha MODX+ with Phil Cornish: • Yamaha MODX+ Music Syn...
Yamaha unveils their latest innovation in synthesis, the MODX. Featuring the same technology as the MONTAGE, the power of the MODX synthesis engine allows for unlimited creative potential.
The MODX synthesizer comes in the 61-key MODX6, 76-key MODX7, and the 88-key MODX8.
To learn more about the new Yamaha MODX+, read our interview with Yamaha's senior product specialist for synthesizers, Blake Angelos:

It seems to check all the boxes for me: good keyboard sounds, versatile, easy to record to DAW, lightweight, not too expensive.
I am no keyboard expert but I have always loved the sound of Yamaha high end keyboard pianos. The S90 ES piano impressed me also.
I have watched a number of videos about this product, but this was the first video that me understand how useful the flashy knob could actually be in a performance. Very good instructor, thank you.
Wow, I love how you play! And I am impressed of the MODX. And I love the orchestra stuff. This "Super-knob" I think is a very practical idea.
I have watched Blake Angelo's videos many times over the years, and they were always superb. They were easy to understand and very informative - on a par with Phil Clendeninn's. I have a Roland RD 800 stage piano on which I practice piano, but I lust after this MODX. Now if I can just sneak it by my wife !
Why just whyyyyyyy we allways have the W struggle lol
plug-ins are easier for that😂
@@xp50player Good one -- yes, just buy and download right to the computer lol.
Seen a lot of MODX vids. Your demo is the best.
Mods is insanely creative and. Fascinating.
Makes me feel better that someone with chunky fingers like mine can play as well as I thought I could in most cases, I love the newer synth's
Very good MODX demo man! One of the best until now!
"You can control the valium to your synthesizer." How cool is that! LOL
great feature...why can no-one seem to get any good sounds out of this synth? It has all the spec I have dreamed of
hahahaha keep calm and control your valium!
Valium is a benzo and you can get it on the modx wow no wonder the modx is so relaxing to play .I love my new modx8+ plus and your videos ,keep up the valium
It's a great board. I was blown away when I was on it.
Can the Super Knob be upgraded to a Lava Lamp?
LMAO 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Loooooooool
...only the Roland can be upgrade to a tennisbal
It’s just a knob with a fucking light 🤦♂️ Aesthetic is all
Love this Synth. Will be selling off some off my gear for it. Great demo.
Okay. That’s it. I have a Roland FA-08, but I LOVE the Montage. Now that there’s a “mini-Montage,” I might want to GET THIS SUCKAAAAA!
Carter Elliott hahaha sticks with your FA-08 and get a MODX 6
Carter Elliot would you recommend the Roland FA-06-08? For to practice and to play at some small events?? Church related!
I laugh when people complain about the price. Its a keyboard/audio interface/synth/effects processer/second monitor in one piece. Wtf you expect it to be what? $500 jeez
Big Grime kjqk
What do you mean? It's more than $500?
@@topouzidd yes i think they sell for around $1299
Doug Graves The 88 key modx8 is 1499€ and the P125 is 599€. I believe (correct me if I’m wrong) that they both have the same keys (graded hammer action standard with no aftertouch), but the modx has better piano sounds? Then there is the P515 with superior keyboard (wood) and unknown piano sound quality (better than P125, but is it better or worse than the piano sound of modx8?) and it’s roughly the same price as the modx8. So, for a pianist that could eventually use some extras, is the modx8 a good choice?
@@topouzidd I doubt that the modx is much of an improvement as far as main piano sound alone, maybe slightly, and the keybed on P-125 is very slightly narrower than normal for some odd reason, unlike modx8.
Hmmm...interested. I think I like it more than the Montage. Not because it's better, but because it has most of the sounds, simpler and cheaper. Certainly worthy of consideration as I can't justify Montage money.
8:03 best part of the demo. Lol.
Awesome Product Demonstration. Thanks
I'm still in love with my Yamaha MX61!
I just picked up one of these but I had to sell my MOXF to get it...I did this all while my lady was out of the country. Hopefully, she won't notice the difference or the splurge..
Payback... I had to tell her already as my girl may have noticed the bigger and more colorful screen. ;) 😬.. I already told her via a phone call but I had to downplay it a bit and described the swap as nothing more than a simple upgrade 🥱...and before she could even elaborate about the extra money cost ..I quickly changed the subject;)
How close to a real piano do the keys feel?
@@eldancer2 not very, FA-08 is the better one between it, MODX8, and Krome EX 88
No Limits anymore to what can be done with Music Emotion and Expression. Thank you for this demonstration. Peace in Christ Jesus Yeshua ✝️
Very very nice all Sounds
Yamaha Number one 👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️
A very nice demonstration of the possibilities of this synthesizer, but I just cannot help but think what would happen if my cat peed on my screen. Cats love piano like keyboards. A lot to go wrong.
Getting for Christmas 2019 :) Hopefully lol Also, very nice walk through!
Carl Davis hopefully you have enjoyed it so far!
I just get it two days ago but I didn't test it yet, cause I was working. I'm going to test it tomorrow and start enjoying this beautiful toy.
Wow thank you for the review Sir Elton John🔥❤️
Great sound, thanks for the info!
Why did i hear “drunk kids” when he said drum kits? Keyboard nightmares 😂
I heard that piano with the close mic position and was kinda like, meh... then you moved the mic back with that super knob and holy crap.... that's damn good!
Just beautiful man.
Where can I to buy this MODX t-shirt ? thx
I ordered one of these for store pickup. When I got there, it was no-box no bundled software/manuals, nothing but the power lead. It was a major struggle to get them to match their own open-box price online.
Very good keyboard and very good performer :-) sorry for my english...
How much just for the Superknob?
HAAAA!!!!
1 superbuck
@WuTangghost0007 haha :-)
ah hahahaahaha ;->
Here in argentina its almost 2 grand superknob. 7400 uSs for the montage 8's superknob
I wish I knew how to play this and explore all its features. Probably takes years to master such device.
I came for the super knob comments- Hillarious. Real talk though, this machine is the truth and crazy affordable for what it does..
Godd demo...well explained by a real synth-lover! Though I will always stick to KORG's Kronos!
Thank you for the great demo. How does the flute options sound in this?
Freaking awesome.
When is AMW3 going to come out.
Yaaaaay!!!!! Finally an affordable light weight montage! 😝
Finally, a baby Montage...
Definitely getting one of these!
Can we turn off the Super Knob or is always on????
The light can be turned down or off
✨ Awesome, thanks for this! 👍 💖 👏
great stuff ! Question : How can I create and SAVE my own performances, or rather track chains, so I can recall them when I playback a particular song from my daw to modx? Thank you !
It's a hard to figure out.
where is Bert?
It`s a shame for him to present such keyboard
I think he’ll do a demo soon
I'm looking forward to when Yamaha will add MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) to their keyboards.
MPE-in support would go a long way towards making up for no aftertouch.
Can for example the orchestra performance you made be saved to a user bank?
Super knob light is a nightmare.Always stupidly blinking.
They have an option where you can turn it off
You can disconnect the wire from inside hahaha or unplug the whole synth haha it is a goofy option, better be option off
duct tape or paint over the plastic
Wow what a great sounding synth, it rocks a big time ! A shame it's so expensive...
Awesome piano!!!!!😀
Yamaha my keybed of the modx 88. Is getting ramshackle/shaky. I have played the instrument in a normal manner. About 8 times in 3 months. This is not right. Normally it would take about 10 years to get a little ramshackle/shaky . Keys are making a weird noise. What I wrote the online store an email. Not sure if they are able to fix this. A replacement would have the same decay. Hope Yamaha can update this with a keybed where you can physically alter the weight.
Maybe you could post a short video of your key problem. I have been interested in the Modx8 but I'm hard on a keyboard and spending that much for a keybed that seems weak in construction will make me rethink the purchase maybe a modx7 would be a better choice.
bad keybed like MOXF series: ruclips.net/video/-8nK2SBOruE/видео.html
quality is not professional, more akin to the cheap, toy Casios
That is why I bought the MODX8, the weight is less than my old "HEAVY" Yamaha P-200.
Very cool keyboard 😍
annoying blue light on the knobs.....
It sounds great. How do you like it compsred to Roland RD88?
It will be easier to fly a jetliner than to learn all those nut's combination
Ive had my Yamaha MOX for years now and only know a portion of what it can do lol......absolutely love it though its the heart of my studio.
I really love it
Thank you.
Some of us are looking to use this for worship therefore we are extremely interested in the piano and pads it’s what let’s us all know how deep the synth engine is piano is the hardest sound to emulate realistically.
the cool thing is: if you work with a DAW you dont need anything in here because its recorded and automated .)
Haters: I LOVE my Montage. But it's very heavy. And probably does more than I need it to. I'm buying one of these for gigging. I can even create a library in the Montage (it's totally a synth) and import it into the MOD. If you want to write music on a keyboard, this isn't for you. Yamaha literally NEVER said it was.
Amen, Adam! I'm doing the same. Just ordered my MODX7 a few days ago. Can't wait. Thanks for your comment.
I want the T-shirt. I thought it would come in the box with my MODX8..
That’s funny. How would they know what size you are? 🤣
I want the new YAMAHA MODX piano! It is so Epic...
did you try kawai piano?
What about the keys,, are these the same as Yamaha mx 88 ??
Yes but within mate black keys
Superb
Couldn't last the entire demo. This is supposed to be an FM hybrid like the SY77 or similar. 7 minutes passed without even mentioning that fact and this is an official Yamaha demo guy. the arrangement functions and the different orchestra sounds which haven't changed since the late 90s apart from a couple of articulations and behaviors don't interest the synth crowd here whatsoever.
Great piano!!!!!!!!
question i have today a psr s750 and alot of styles performens (stf files) is that somthing i can use in this machine?
I hate that blinking on the superknob. Terribly distracting.
Totally, it looks tacky. I would hope there is a setting to turn that off
I agree. Good thing you can turn it off in settings.
aaah thats good
i believe that's a powerade drink holder
picked up the modx this week can anybody tell me where i can fine the midnam file mac version
for this unit yamaha does not have one
An Intriguing bit of KIT...
was excited about this, but honestly seeing it in person it did not appeal. looks cheaply made, and I do not like the UI. It seems like it's targeted for live musicians using the presets..seems too hard to program complex stuff quickly. Of course the specs are ridiculous and good on folk like Richard Devine diving in to the deep fm engine, I'm very happy to hear the stuff that Richard has come up with. The synth does not seem to invite tweakage, it seems more like a tweak present type workstation. Nothing against it, crazy deep instrument, just not for me. I was hoping for a fm synth with knob per function with minimal menu diving, this is not that
8 Ops with 88 Algs FM!
This guy’s good!
I like the t shirt, where can i get one?
I swear at one point I thought the thing was gonna fall over when he played lmao
Infelizmente chega no Brasil por um preço inacessível para muitos.
Poucos conseguem comprar.
Muito ruim isso
Still, buying stuff from Spectrasonic still beats everything and is 200% easier to edit. I own the XF so I know :)
Kurzweil K2700 demo please
Still not enough to make me drop my Motif XF.
I spoke with a product representative from Yamaha concerning the XF and Montage feud. He told me that it must first be understood that these glorious beasts are two uniquely different machines. The Montage does have a major hardware improvement over the XF by having more ROM and total number of waveforms. The action is different between the two for the non-weighted versions, and there is heartbreaking loss of dedicated sequencing and sampling. But in all honesty, the Montage is still not a bad choice and if the MODX has any improvement over the Montage, that's definitely a better buy. I'm just a hardcore Motif Fan. I'm new to the XF, while still owning an ES and its definitely an improvement in that regard. I pondered the Montage, but wasn't moved to spend that type of money. The MODX7 is $50 shy of what I paid for my used Motif XF 40th Anniversary White edition. In a nutshell, the new line is better, the XF is an expansion pack of the XS, but it looks cool, and sounds awesome and still has an amazing set of features that I haven't even begun to explore. The Motif and Montage/MODX differ in the fact that one is a Music PRODUCTION Synth, and the other is a Music Synth. You can record your performance on the Montage, but not an entire song as you could on the Motif, which in my opinion, makes it still quite the bada** of a workstation. Having all of the newer features doesn't move me at this time. Kinda like going from the iPhone 8 to the XS, you know its good move, but if things are working good with no regret, stay where you're at. Of course you and I are in two different positions of purchasing. This was about the best article I could find concerning the subject: montageforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=8
I'm with you!!! I'm not going to Drop My XF and My MOXF6..
badboys239730 thanks for this insight but the link is dead can you re-upload? Thanks
What will work for me better if I want to use as extra keyboard at home and in a gig band - modx or cp?
I need information about how to purchase the MODX7 76-key at guitar center.
I need pitch bender jockey rather than wheels . Why doesn't yamaha get that into its line. Is it a Korg's copyright?
Nice video
7:56 What happens if I type in, "PIMP?" 😎
LMAO
Why are you in the guitar room?
For the great acoustics no doubt. Not that it matters when they are recording direct.
Why does it matter !...just enjoy the video
Because it has ugly carpet from 1970’s
pity it doesn't have an analogue modelled CS80 inside ;)
Yamaha need to realise that when demonstrating a SYNTHESIZER we are looking at modern synthesis not not playing jazz, timpani, oboe and the likes. This guy should be demonstrating arranger keyboards not synths.
Thank you!
Hardware synths have horrible oboes, timpani etc. Nothing has changed for so many years. I don't know why they demonstrate this weak side.
Τhe terms Arranger, workstation, synthesizer are now confused with each other. I say that this is the era of revenge of home keyboards which at past time were the poor relatives of expensive synthesizers.
That's true. Just look how similar are montage and genos.
This isn’t a synth.
Looking at p515, would this one lose the real piano style compared to the p515
I love the motif xf8. But this modx sounds pretty good. Especially when you consider the price of the montage. 😌🎶🎹👍🏾
Does that super knob really need to throb like that constantly? Must get annoying...
I'm sure it's like the montage and you can change it to behave as you want.
Thank you very much, Maestro.
Never play it.... but sound interesting!
Weighing 14 plunds (61key), this keyboard must feel REALLY plastic and cheap?
"valume" :D 6:37
Gavin McCloy - I thought he said “Valium” everytime😂
haha :`D
Korg X50 - nice synth by the way!
These demo videos r all the same and show the same thing and even TALK about the same thing over en over again, i wanna c some1 make a beat or song with it connected to a DAW
I've been saying this literally for the past 10 years. Every single demo is the exact same going over the same general sounds...
mozes7 Hey guys I would really appreciate your opinion about this. I was very decided on buying the Yamaha MOXF8 for $1399, and then I saw the Yamaha MODX8 for $1899, I’m confused, don’t know if i’m willing to pay $500 more for the MODX8 but you know I want no regrets after buying my keyboard... I need some advice, thanks 👍🏻
You need to watch Dr. Mix. He goes over the general sounds, then will mess with them and start composing stuff on the spot.
In a previous video Blake mentioned some similarity between the GHS keyboard on the MX88 and the Montage. Is this the same keyboard on the MODX but with a different piano sample to the MX88?
MX88 blows, and MODX blows less, LOL!
Im glad to see they did 88key version. I wonder if you can transition from one sound to another with no drop out like on the Kronos, I hope it can.
You can.
how big is the differente between the Yamaha MOXF8 and the Yamaha MODX8? somebody help me out!! thanks
