MODX M7 76-Key Performance

KeyboardDigitalPolyphonic

Ever since Yamaha packed flagship Montage M power into a lighter package, this 76-key beast has been turning heads for delivering pro-level synthesis without the bulk.

At its core, it blends three engines: AWM2 for ultra-realistic instruments with doubled 10.7GB memory and up to 128 elements per part, FM-X for sharp modern tones with 128-note polyphony, and the new AN-X for vintage analog modeling complete with dual filters, PWM, sync, ring mod, and drift for that organic edge—up to 12 voices there. Hands-on control shines with a color touchscreen, six assignable knobs, eight sliders, and the Super Knob for real-time morphing across layers. The 76-note semi-weighted FSB keybed feels firm and responsive for synth leads, pads, and even piano work, all in a portable 42.88" x 4.63" x 13.69" frame weighing just 16.75 lbs. Connectivity is a standout: 10 audio outs, 4 ins, built-in 10x4 USB interface, and ESP plugin to mirror it in your DAW.

Players love the massive 3,400+ presets and 10,000 arpeggiators for instant inspiration, plus multitimbral layering across 16 parts. Some note the sequencer and deep editing take time to master, but the sound quality and workflow upgrades over the old MODX keep it a stage and studio favorite.
