Product description Yamaha MODX7+
When switching between complex sounds, the next entry should not be interrupted. The Yamaha MODX7+ combines Seamless Sound Switching with a 76-key keyboard and two sound engines: AWM2 for sample-based sounds and FM-X for FM synthesis. With up to 256 notes of polyphony in total, the synthesiser is suitable for multi-part performances in live and studio settings.
Motion Control Synthesis combines both engines and lets you control sound parameters while playing. You can use the Super Knob to change several assigned parameters at the same time; the Motion Sequencer and arpeggiators add rhythmic and evolving patterns. Smart Morph lets you morph between FM-X sounds. Seamless Sound Switching is available for switching between Performances without interrupting the sound, for Performances with up to four Parts.
A Performance can combine up to 16 Parts, for example for splits, layers or MIDI multimode. The 2,227 preset Performances and Live Sets help you organise sounds for performances; Live Sets include 256 or more preset entries and 2,048 user entries. The effects section includes VCM effects, a vocoder and a sidechain function. According to the product specifications, up to 27 effects can be used simultaneously.
You can store your own samples and libraries in the 1.75 GB flash memory; the Waveform ROM has a capacity of 5.67 GB. The stereo A/D input lets you connect external audio sources and process them using the internal DSP. USB transmits audio and MIDI to Mac, PC or iOS devices. For USB audio operation at 44.1 kHz, four input channels and ten output channels are available.
The semi-weighted, velocity-sensitive keyboard has 76 keys; aftertouch is not available. A 7-inch touchscreen is used for operation. MIDI input and output, two outputs, a headphone connection, two A/D inputs, and connections for two Foot Controllers and two Foot Switches cover the main connections in your setup. At 7.4 kg, the instrument is also comparatively easy to transport.
The MODX7+ is suited to keyboard setups that require 76 keys, multiple Parts and USB audio/MIDI. You can use it as a standalone instrument for live performances or connect it via USB to a computer- or iOS-based studio. The package includes a power supply, owner's manual and a licence and download code for Steinberg Cubase AI.
