Your videos are absolutely amazing! Thanks so much for doing this, it's so hard to find good materials about MODX. The short videos are cool, we can watch exactly what we need. I'm waiting for more :)
I think it’s the role of the manufacturer to provide the user with documentation and manuals to fully master their instruments. Products cost too much already to pay middlemen more cash .Anyone old enough to remember the Heathkit company ( 70’s) and the amazing documentation they provide as we built their electronic kits and see them work flawlessly! Amen .
Just got my modx8, and have really learns how to use it by watching your videos. Thank you for how you explain different functions oh how to navigate it.
Hella good Dom! I had to do a Homer Simpson "DOH!" when I saw how straight forward it is to use velocity to create different triggering points from keyboard pressure, to activate parts. Great stuff. I'll be watching more for sure!
Great video. I find many Montage and MODX videos to be too long and complex. I prefer these short 3 minute lessons. Some ideas for future videos, using arps, using a multi with external sequencer/daw, setting up a vocoder, assigning parameters to the knobs and the superknob, setting up insert fx per part and setting a master fx.
All the things I always wanted to do with my motif xf i can on montage it seems. Years ago I aked a question at the forum at motifator if I could somhow combine performances. It was treated like a atrange question. Yet here it is. Falling in love with this board. Thanks Dom love your vids. No nonsense gets straight to the point. Cool.
I like your video's, you make it sound like this is groundbreaking technollogy.. But then its something we been doing for over 20 years now... layering sounds and adding velocity settings to them..
AWESOME! Thanks so much Dom. Yes ... love the 'quick hit' 3 minute format. Please keep em' coming. How about one on creating Live Sets ... but ... definitely want to be able to edit and save the performances (patches) such as modifying & saving eq, ADSR, octave etc. ... not simply trigger the existing performances. Thanks again!
I’m completely new to synthesiser and I was wondering if you could go over the cable setup for the MODX like what cables are required and where to plug them into . Might be a no-brainer but if you could do that it would be really helpful. Really good vid btw
Hi Dom! As always great and interesting video! Can you create video or give link to video with info about creation of own arpeggios, nuances of it configuring and it opportunities?
Hey Dom - great video. Love these quick tips and especially useful looking at the velocity. Thank you. Could you do something about using scenes and keyboard control to make seamless sound switching?
That what im looking for! We can put 16 parts together? Like that make a super realistic instrument using multiples samples with différentes keyzone and velocity.
Bro how in the world to turn the sustain off on the bass patches .. When I split bass and keys the bass line " finger bass or electric bass " sustains when I use the sustain pedal.
Sir When I change my tone to another tone it's cut off. Can you please help us and make a tutorial on how to create a No Cut tone please? And how to hold a pad tone at Church worship time. Please
Please do video modx6 layers 8 voices, and how to control volume each voice with slider. Since modx only has 4 slider, how to control all other voices? Thanks
Thanks nice how too. One thing I can't figure out is how to make the beats of the modx record in daw. The sounds are fine but the beat never records. I can hear the beat only.
Hi!! Great job!! Very precise!! Could you show How to create a performance with diferente efects (FX). I know that MODX has 2 FX inserts. Tell us about this expecific issue, please!
I bother you with a consultation, can you sound more than 8 tracks at the same time? When I start putting together a sample with more than 8 tracks in "Multi-gm", the tracks from 9 to 16 does not show me the "KBD Ctrl" therefore do not sound. What do I have to do to enable them? From already thank you very much
Can there be a time delay between 2 sounds say maybe for 20 ms in between 2 sounds ... it actually helps to create a good stereo image by doing a hard panning
Good morning Dom, I didn’t know you made the intro for the MODX6+ that is amazing. Wow! I’m conflicted between the MODX6+ and the Roland Juno X. I am a newbie and would like to know your thoughts on both of these. I’m looking to learn to play piano for fun and also synthesis as well. Hope you’re doing great, AJ
Hey AJ, if you’re talking about the promo video, yes I wrote and produced the music for it, thank you! They are massively different synths. The Juno X will give you the Juno sound- if that’s what you’re looking for. It’s amazing. If you want to learn how to play the piano I would suggest the MODX+8. Not only it has all the sounds you will need and amazing pianos but it is a beast of a synth. If you know what you’re doing you will be able to create any sound imaginable! I suggest the 88keys because these will allow your fingers to be trained for a real piano. The synth keys are great but most piano teachers dislike them myself included. Hope this helps!
Can anyone say they’re e satisfied with the Keybed of the modx6 or 7. I have a montage 8, I want to buy this board but I’m not sure if I would regret it after owning it a while.
Thanks for another video Dom!. Can you make a video explaining how to use Montage with Logic or any Daw without the sound changing... For example: Every time I add a new External MIDI channel in Logic to add a new sound on the performance in Montage, the sound changes like the EQ or some effect from the Montage. So it doesn't sound anymore as if I would play it directly into the piano. Is like logic changes the parameters in the channel of the performance. Even when I start a performance from scratch. When I do just like you did there in this video and add new sounds when I play them as "MIDI Rec on DAW" in Logic it doesn't sound like when I play it on the keyboard. Even with the Send FX off. Thanks!
In a multilayered performance every part or layer has its own midi channel. All parts are triggered simultaneously via the keyboard. When you switch to daw mode it only transmits 1 midi channel and you only hear 1 layer. You need to go into utility/settings/advanced/midi i/o mode change to single. You would use multi mode if you wanted multiple midi channels on your daw to control multiple parts on montage. for example if you wanted to play a midi file with a GM soundbank.
Hey Dom. I Know its a synth, but is it possible to play a song, where you split left and right hand, and the arp/bas follow the chords in left hand, like a arranger. ????
Shift + store. Then it will bring up a menu asking if you want to save as a new performance or overwrite an existing one. Real easy once you’ve done it a few times.
Hi Dom thanks for all the great videos ! I will be picking up my Montage 6 tomorrow . I have been playing an s90xs for the last six years and really love it. I notice that there are quite a few third-party sample libraries available for the montage. My question to you is will I be able insert these third-party samples along with internal voices from the montage to create a Performance in the montage ? Thanks and keep up the great videos !
Glad you enhoyed it :) The Montage is compatible with Motif files but if you want to take full advantage of the Montage engine I would suggest you look into dedicated libraries for the Montage. There's some really cool ones on Yamahamusicsoft.com, some of them free (CS80!)
Really dynamic sounds! We want more videos like this Dom!
Thanks so much! You taught me more in three minutes than I would have learned on my own in three months! Your info is worth gold!
I just got a MODX6 a few weeks ago and I am still learning this thing. Love the channel and these videos. Thanks so much!
Your videos are absolutely amazing! Thanks so much for doing this, it's so hard to find good materials about MODX. The short videos are cool, we can watch exactly what we need. I'm waiting for more :)
Hey Dom, make a online course.
1. Basic, parts, Elements, layers etc
2. More complex, arps etc
3. What ever..
4. I'll buy it !😀
I think it’s the role of the manufacturer to provide the user with documentation and manuals to fully master their instruments.

You answer my question in five minutes you are the man of the action

Hella good Dom! I had to do a Homer Simpson "DOH!" when I saw how straight forward it is to use velocity to create different triggering points from keyboard pressure, to activate parts. Great stuff. I'll be watching more for sure!
I don't even own one of these yet but your videos are pushing me towards picking one up. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much enjoy the format I am new to MODX and very much need all the help I can get! appreciate it!
Sooooo helpful.
Now I want to assign layers to Superknob/control pedal.
Great video. I find many Montage and MODX videos to be too long and complex. I prefer these short 3 minute lessons. Some ideas for future videos, using arps, using a multi with external sequencer/daw, setting up a vocoder, assigning parameters to the knobs and the superknob, setting up insert fx per part and setting a master fx.
Dzod agree!
Thanks a lot Dzod! Stay tuned, I have some more videos coming especially external sequencing and insert fx :)
Multis with external sequencer +1
Excellent. I just purchased a new MODX7 yesterday.
All the things I always wanted to do with my motif xf i can on montage it seems. Years ago I aked a question at the forum at motifator if I could somhow combine performances.

Dom, your videos are teaching me so much. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial!!! Thank you
You have a great talent to explain things thoroughly but in a simple way. I always enjoy your videos. :)
Totally awesome 👍 As I understand it one can have up to eight layers. One thing I'm not seeing much of is the Synths song recording abilities.
As usual, GREAT and USEFUL video Dom. Looking forward to many more like this!
Thanks for making this easy to understand. Awesome!
I like your video's, you make it sound like this is groundbreaking technollogy.. But then its something we been doing for over 20 years now... layering sounds and adding velocity settings to them..
`Hey Jules, thanks! Of course it's not groundbreaking but it's so easy compared to the Motif for example :)
There is no keyboard as intuïtieve as my modx, espescially when compared to my Kronos... maybe Nord stage is as intuitive, but certainly not my kronos
Great video...Thanks Dom
AWESOME! Thanks so much Dom. Yes ... love the 'quick hit' 3 minute format. Please keep em' coming. How about one on creating Live Sets ... but ... definitely want to be able to edit and save the performances (patches) such as modifying & saving eq, ADSR, octave etc. ... not simply trigger the existing performances.

Keep them coming Dom. Very informative.
This is cool and a great idea too have a channel dedicated to everyone who wants excel with MODX! Thank you for creating it!
I think this video made me want to buy this machine, as a complete beginner :) Cool!
Dom, great video's! Nice short dedicated issues explained! Keep on doing these ones please!
I’m completely new to synthesiser and I was wondering if you could go over the cable setup for the MODX like what cables are required and where to plug them into . Might be a no-brainer but if you could do that it would be really helpful. Really good vid btw
Hey Jimbo thanks for this! How would you like connect your MODX? For recording? To a computer?
Nice one. I just get my modx6 yesterday
Great video man! straight to the point
Very usefull, thank so much for share!!
Great ..thanks for the video. more expected as a beginner. Thank you once again
That’s awesome! Thanks!
Thank you Dom, great video as usual ;)
❤very useful sir
Please make a video on the arpeggios. How can we quickly latch the arps without menu diving? Can we combine multiple arps?
great lessons. thanks so much! pls more
That was so easy! THANK YOU!
Great ! Keep them coming !! :) Thanks
Thank you for this
Made it simple on split thx
Thanks brother 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow!!!! Just found out about that video!
Great sir
Liked and subbed. Thank you for this valuable video!
Thanks for this information!
Hi Dom! As always great and interesting video!
Can you create video or give link to video with info about creation of own arpeggios, nuances of it configuring and it opportunities?
Agreed! A “How to create your own arpeggios” video is definitely needed!!!
Hey Dom - great video. Love these quick tips and especially useful looking at the velocity. Thank you. Could you do something about using scenes and keyboard control to make seamless sound switching?
these are great vids
That what im looking for! We can put 16 parts together? Like that make a super realistic instrument using multiples samples with différentes keyzone and velocity.
Id love to hear what the Wurlitzer electric pianos sound like.
thank you so much for the video... please tell me how to delete single tone from multiple made layers????
Best video
Thanks man🙏♥
I need to save sounds so I can switch easily to other saved sounds because each movement is a different sound
Bro how in the world to turn the sustain off on the bass patches .. When I split bass and keys the bass line " finger bass or electric bass " sustains when I use the sustain pedal.
I love my modx
Sir When I change my tone to another tone it's cut off. Can you please help us and make a tutorial on how to create a No Cut tone please? And how to hold a pad tone at Church worship time. Please
Nice
great video but how to save and retrieve it? i stored the set but can't seem to be able to retrieve it when i turn back on the keyboard
Best sir
Please do video modx6 layers 8 voices, and how to control volume each voice with slider. Since modx only has 4 slider, how to control all other voices? Thanks
You just need to press the button next to the slider to switch from parts 1-4 to parts 5-8 :) same goes for elements.
Great video
How can i save the layer to live set???
How do we save these layers. Because when I go back to the Home Screen the layers are not staying where I put them. It doesn’t seem to save
Thx! :)
có cách nào liên lạc và hướng dẫn giúp tôi cách cài voice trên MODX7 không
great fine but then how do you save the sounds you layer?
great, how do you store it so you don't have to do it while playing?
có cách nào liên lạc và hướng dẫn giúp tôi cách cài voice trên MODX7 không?
Thanks nice how too. One thing I can't figure out is how to make the beats of the modx record in daw. The sounds are fine but the beat never records. I can hear the beat only.
Hi I’ve layered 4 voices but the voices cut out when I play many notes at once ! What am I doing wrong ?
*Nothin wrong. Keyboard doesn't have enough polyphony. Certain sounds will cut off at times.*
Hi!! Great job!! Very precise!! Could you show How to create a performance with diferente efects (FX). I know that MODX has 2 FX inserts. Tell us about this expecific issue, please!

From already thank you very much
Can you change the octaves on each sound individually without affecting the others? I'm having this issue
Actually yes
Sir please tell us how to make our own arpeggio on a certain sound or is that even possible on the modx or montage
Tutorial skyfull of stars-Coldplay piano please and with superknobs changing ,please please
Is it possible to have a layer trigger only when a key is lifted up? Thanks for such a good video series! It's very helpful!
Yes, it's possible :)
How many layers or Splits (parts) are allowed for each performance?
Thanks
what's a performant mean ?
Killer dude... how do I save it though?
Can you do a video tutorial on how update the modx to the new version
What if you want to use the hold pedal to hold only one of the sounds, not all three.
Can there be a time delay between 2 sounds say maybe for 20 ms in between 2 sounds ... it actually helps to create a good stereo image by doing a hard panning
Adjust the attack?
god bless u
Can you save the layered sounds you create to a preset?
Sir my Modx touch is responding slow so what can I do sir
Good morning Dom,

AWESOME!!!! :)
Cool vid . can i put effects on each layer?
Isn't there a limitation with sounds layering with the Yamaha MODX8 Synthesizer Keyboard based on the 64 Voice Polyphony ???
Can anyone say they’re e satisfied with the Keybed of the modx6 or 7. I have a montage 8, I want to buy this board but I’m not sure if I would regret it after owning it a while.

Total No of Layers you can add in both?
Hi sir can I play Indian instrument in Modx.
Hey Dom. I Know its a synth, but is it possible to play a song, where you split left and right hand, and the arp/bas follow the chords in left hand, like a arranger. ????
Yes, this is possible with the appropriate arps on the left hand :)
How to save it?
That’s great! But when I get the sounds that I want together how the hell do I save it and keep it?
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Shift + store. Then it will bring up a menu asking if you want to save as a new performance or overwrite an existing one. Real easy once you’ve done it a few times.
Hi is there a setting where I can fix the polyphony on the modx because when I play with many layers the notes cut off
