Three Iconic Sound Engines – Now More Powerful Than Ever

At the heart of the MODX M lies the Motion Control Synthesis Engine, which seamlessly integrates three powerhouse sound engines:

AN-X (Virtual Analog Synthesis): A brand-new engine inspired by Yamaha’s legendary 1990s AN series. AN-X authentically recreates the warmth, grit and behaviour of true analogue synthesis – from silky pads to biting leads – with parameters that add life and organic variation to every note.

FM-X (Frequency Modulation Synthesis): An eight-operator FM engine with 128-note polyphony. Create everything from classic ’80s DX sounds to futuristic digital textures with breathtaking dynamic range and fidelity.

AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory): Yamaha’s sample-based synthesis engine provides ultra-realistic acoustic instruments and modern digital sounds, now with 10.7 GB of waveform capacity – almost double that of the previous MODX + – for richer, more detailed sound.

Together, these engines offer up to 268 notes of total polyphony and a virtually limitless sound design palette.

  • Motion Control – A Fourth Dimension of Expression

    The Motion Control Synthesis Engine lets you interact with sounds in ways that go far beyond conventional synth programming.

    Super Knob: Control multiple parameters at once to transform your sound in real time – from subtle performance dynamics to dramatic textural shifts.

    Motion Sequences: Tempo-synchronised control sequences that can be assigned to almost any parameter, adding rhythmic motion or evolving modulation.

    Envelope Follower: Convert external audio into a control source – for example, use a drum loop or vocal track to shape your synth’s filters or effects for living, breathing results.

  • Studio Power – Stage Simplicity

    The MODX M is designed to bridge the gap between stage and studio:

    USB Audio / MIDI Interface: Record or stream up to 5 stereo channels out and 2 in over USB without any extra hardware.

    Seamless Sound Switching (SSS): Change Performances live without any audio cut-off – perfect for smooth set transitions.

    VCM Effects & HD Reverbs: Add everything from lush reverbs and vintage phasers to cutting-edge side-chained compression or bit-crushed textures.

    Integrated Flash Memory: 1.9 GB of user memory for custom samples and sound libraries.
