Yamaha MODX M7

AN-X Engine

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

• Two filters
• 10 filter types
• PWM (pulse-width modulation)
• Oscillator self-sync
• Ring modulation
• FM and wave-shaper
• Wave folder
• Voltage offset and aging settings to emulate vintage-synth behavior

AWM2

Experience realism and detail with MODX M’s Advanced Wave Memory (AWM2). With up to 128 elements per part, AWM2 enables richer layering and articulation and gives you a broad palette for sound creation, especially for "named" sounds like piano and strings.

268-Voice Polyphony

MODX M delivers up to 268-voice polyphony 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 twice the memory of MODX/MODX+, increasing AWM2 memory from 5,68 GB to 10,7 GB of preset waveforms and providing 1,9 GB of user flash memory.

VCM Rotary Speaker: The VCM rotary-speaker effect emulates the rich, enveloping motion of a classic rotary-speaker cabinet.

Special Part And Scene Control

Dedicated buttons for part and scene selection let you control up to 8 parts per performance. This intuitive setup is especially useful on stage, improves overall usability and adds an extra dimension to every performance.

High-Resolution Control

The MODX M controllers — Super Knob, pitch-bend, mod wheel and sound-engine parameters — now operate in high resolution. With finer resolution, the MODX M responds more smoothly than previous models.

Motion Control Synthesis Engine

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

• Motion sequences — automate synth and effect parameters dynamically and perfectly in 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 much more!

And More

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

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 without the hardware and enjoy unprecedented stage-to-studio integration.

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

Faster, More Intuitive Navigation

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

USB MIDI 2.0 And Multi-Channel Audio Interface

Simplify your studio setup with MODX M’s USB-MIDI connectivity and built-in multichannel audio interface featuring 10 outputs and 4 inputs at 44.1 kHz. Capture MIDI, monitor virtual instruments and record multitrack audio over a single USB cable, saving valuable time so you can focus on creativity.

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

Cubase AI

Cubase AI delivers the essential tools for recording, editing and mixing — from the first idea to the finished master. It’s the perfect entry into the world of digital audio workstations (DAWs), offering powerful yet user-friendly software tools for all musical styles.

And More

Dedicated DAW remote button: Use your MODX M as a hardware controller for DAWs such as Cubase, Logic, ProTools and Live. Control the mixer, transport, soft-synth plug-ins and more.
