MODX7 Keyboard Workstation (76-Key)

KeyboardDigitalPolyphonic

Did you know this workstation packs the exact sound engines from Yamaha's flagship MONTAGE into a lighter, more portable body, letting you unleash pro-level synthesis without lugging around a beast?

Its 76-key semi-weighted keyboard delivers responsive velocity and aftertouch for expressive play, spanning E to G with a comfortable reach that's perfect for stage or studio. Dual AWM2 and FM-X engines drive 256-note polyphony—128 stereo AWM2 notes for lush acoustic emulations and drums, plus 128 FM-X for dynamic, electro-modern tones via 8 operators and 88 algorithms. Motion Control ties it all together, with the Super Knob assigning up to 128 parameters at once for sweeping filter, LFO, and mix changes, assignable knobs, rubber-coated pitch/mod wheels, and Motion Sequences for rhythmic parameter automation. It includes a pattern sequencer with 128 patterns and 128 songs, 8-part arpeggiator, 1.75GB flash memory for custom samples, built-in 4-in/10-out USB audio interface, stereo outs, dual audio ins, and effects like VCM reverb, multi-FX, plus Envelope Follower and Vocoder.

Players love how it nails live performance flow with Seamless Sound Switching—no dropouts when swapping patches—and the intuitive Live Sets for quick setlist tweaks. The compact 13-inch depth and lightweight plastic build make it a road warrior favorite, though some wish for aftertouch on updated models.
