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.
"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!
Very good MODX demo man! One of the best until now!
Mods is insanely creative and. Fascinating.
Seen a lot of MODX vids. Your demo is the best.
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
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
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.
It's a great board. I was blown away when I was on it.
8:03 best part of the demo. Lol.
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!
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
Why did i hear “drunk kids” when he said drum kits? Keyboard nightmares 😂
Awesome Product Demonstration. Thanks
Where can I to buy this MODX t-shirt ? thx
I'm still in love with my Yamaha MX61!
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.
Just beautiful man.
Great sound, thanks for the info!
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.
Very very nice all Sounds
Yamaha Number one 👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️
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
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.
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
Freaking awesome.
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!
When is AMW3 going to come out.
Wow thank you for the review Sir Elton John🔥❤️
I wish I knew how to play this and explore all its features. Probably takes years to master such device.
where is Bert?
It`s a shame for him to present such keyboard
I think he’ll do a demo soon
✨ Awesome, thanks for this! 👍 💖 👏
Very good keyboard and very good performer :-) sorry for my english...
Very cool keyboard 😍
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.
No Limits anymore to what can be done with Music Emotion and Expression. Thank you for this demonstration. Peace in Christ Jesus Yeshua ✝️
Superb
Awesome piano!!!!!😀
I really love it
Thank you for the great demo. How does the flute options sound in this?
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.
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
What about the keys,, are these the same as Yamaha mx 88 ??
Yes but within mate black keys
I swear at one point I thought the thing was gonna fall over when he played lmao
Thank you.
the cool thing is: if you work with a DAW you dont need anything in here because its recorded and automated .)
Can for example the orchestra performance you made be saved to a user bank?
Yaaaaay!!!!! Finally an affordable light weight montage! 😝
Wow what a great sounding synth, it rocks a big time ! A shame it's so expensive...
Great piano!!!!!!!!
It sounds great. How do you like it compsred to Roland RD88?
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.
question i have today a psr s750 and alot of styles performens (stf files) is that somthing i can use in this machine?
Nice video
Godd demo...well explained by a real synth-lover! Though I will always stick to KORG's Kronos!
This guy’s good!
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: czcams.com/video/-8nK2SBOruE/video.html
quality is not professional, more akin to the cheap, toy Casios
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.
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
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
That is why I bought the MODX8, the weight is less than my old "HEAVY" Yamaha P-200.
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'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.
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.
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.
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?
I need information about how to purchase the MODX7 76-key at guitar center.
7:56 What happens if I type in, "PIMP?" 😎
LMAO
Thank you very much, Maestro.
8 Ops with 88 Algs FM!
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
Looking at p515, would this one lose the real piano style compared to the p515
An Intriguing bit of KIT...
Never play it.... but sound interesting!
"valume" :D 6:37
Gavin McCloy - I thought he said “Valium” everytime😂
haha :`D
Korg X50 - nice synth by the way!
I came for the super knob comments- Hillarious. Real talk though, this machine is the truth and crazy affordable for what it does..
I encourage my wife to control my super knob often
Kurzweil K2700 demo please
how is the action of the keyboard compared to an acoustic piano ?
how big is the differente between the Yamaha MOXF8 and the Yamaha MODX8? somebody help me out!! thanks
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!
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.
❤❤❤
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
Just in Sound patches...would you say this is an upgrade from the Motif ES8? My church has an Motif where a few keys seems to be losing some action and I was wondering would it be better to just sell it and purchase a ModX8?
MODX keybed is bad: czcams.com/video/-8nK2SBOruE/video.html
bending, breakable keys
get that old Motif repaired, much better instrument, or swap it out for a P-125 and big full-range PA speakers if you don't use most of the Motif sounds
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.
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
Weighing 14 plunds (61key), this keyboard must feel REALLY plastic and cheap?
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.
I always thought it was pronounced as 'Mod Ex' but here he calls it as a 'Moe D-X'.
I wonder if it can transition from one sound to another with no drop out like on the Kronos.
alphasxsignal yes as long as your combi has only 4 parts..
Does it have a good Rhodes and B3 or even Hammond sound too?
Does this model have weighted/Hammer Action keys?
Does the MODX support remote control of a DAW?
