YAMAHA MODX8 Keyboard

To control it all, Yamaha introduced a cool new performance feature called Motion Control, which provides an interesting way to control modulations and alterations of sounds in real time via the “Super Knob” or a connected expression pedal. All of this is explained in detail in our full review of the MONTAGE, found here: https://musicplayers.com/2016/08/yamaha-montage-6-synthesizer-ver-1-5/.

Despite all the power and sonic goodness of the MONTAGE, there is a price to pay- literally. The MONTAGE 8, for example, has a street price of $4,000, placing it out of reach for the average keyboard player. Enter the MODX series, (pronounced moe-dee-ex, think “More DX”).

YAMAHA MODX8 Keyboard Features:

The YAMAHA MODX8 Keyboard has the same sound engines as the MONTAGE, and many of the same features, barely scaled down in places, and often times not scaled back at all! While the feature set is discussed in detail in our previous MONTAGE review, a quick list of MODX features includes:
