Yamaha MODX M6

AN-X Engine

Integrated into the Motion Control system, the AN-X engine lets you create expressive, uniquely analog-sounding tones tailored to your personal vision.

• Two filters
• 10 filter types
• Pulse-width modulation
• Oscillator self-sync
• Ring modulation
• FM and wave-shaper
• Wave folder
• Settings for voltage drift and aging to simulate vintage synth behavior

AWM2

Experience realism and nuance with the MODX M Advanced Wave Memory (AWM2). With up to 128 elements per part, AWM2 enables more layers and articulations and gives you an extensive palette for sound creation, especially for "named" tones like piano and strings.

268-Voice Polyphony

The MODX M delivers polyphony of up to 268 voices across its three engines:

• 128 voices for AWM2 preset and user waveform parts
• 128 voices for FM-X parts
• 12 voices for AN-X parts

And More

Preset wave and flash memory upgrade: MODX M offers roughly double the memory of the MODX/MODX+, increasing AWM2 memory from 5.68 GB to 10.7 GB and providing 1.9 GB of user flash memory.

VCM Rotary Speaker: The VCM Rotary Speaker effect simulates the rich, enveloping movement of a classic rotary speaker cabinet.

Special Part and Scene Control

Dedicated keys for part and scene selection let you control 8 parts per performance. This intuitive control is especially useful for live gigs, improves overall usability, and gives every performance an extra dimension.

High-Resolution Control

The MODX M's knobs, Super Knob, pitch bend, mod wheel, and sound engine are now high-resolution. Thanks to the finer resolution, the MODX M operates more smoothly than its predecessors.

Motion Control Synthesis Engine

Experience a new level of sound design with this groundbreaking engine. With powerful tools like the following, you can interact with sound like never before:

• Motion sequences - automate synth and effect parameters dynamically and in perfect sync with your tempo
• Super Knob - control dozens of modulations with a single gesture
• Envelope Follower - shape your sound using input from the A/D or another part
• And so much more!

And More

• 8 faders, 4 knobs
• 4 pedal inputs
• 6 display encoders

Expanded Softsynth Plugin (ESP)

The Expanded Softsynth Plugin (ESP) is free for all registered MODX M owners and replicates the MODX M inside your preferred digital audio workstation (DAW). With ESP you can create, edit, and mix performances anywhere—without the hardware—enjoying unprecedented stage-to-studio integration.

*ESP for MODX M will be available from January 2026.

Faster, More Intuitive Navigation

Improved navigation enables fast, intuitive sound editing and operation. Features include a color touchscreen, 6 display encoders, and a stereo A/D input with 2 insert effects.

USB MIDI 2.0 and Multi-Channel Audio Interface

Simplify your studio setup with the MODX M through USB-MIDI connectivity and an integrated multichannel audio interface with 10 outputs and 4 inputs at 44.1 kHz. Easily handle MIDI recording, virtual instrument monitoring, and multitrack audio recording over a single USB cable, saving valuable time for more creativity.

MIDI 2.0 delivers high-resolution data for velocity, the Super Knob, pitch bend, and modulation.

Cubase AI

Cubase AI provides the essential tools for recording, editing, and mixing—from the first idea to the finished masterpiece. It's the perfect entry into the world of digital audio workstations (DAWs), offering powerful yet user-friendly software tools for all music genres.

And More

Special DAW remote button: Use your MODX M as a hardware controller for DAW solutions like Cubase, Logic, ProTools, and Live. Control the mixer, transport, softsynth plug-ins, and much more.
