Discover the **Yamaha MODX M6**, an innovative stage synthesizer that pushes the boundaries of sound. Designed for demanding musicians, it combines three complementary sound engines into one expressive and unified system. Versatile, powerful, and intuitive, it becomes the centerpiece of both your live performances and your mobile studio.
Three sound engines in perfect harmony
The MODX M6 is far more than a single-mode synth: it features the **AWM2**, **FM-X**, and **AN-X** engines, all working seamlessly under the control of the Motion Control Synthesis Engine. The result? An unmatched expressive range — seamlessly moving from realistic acoustic tones to crystalline FM textures, and into warm vintage analog sounds. Each note breathes and evolves with fluidity.
Feel, control, and stage performance
The 61-key FSB (Fully Balanced Semi-Weighted) keyboard offers the ideal balance between responsiveness and playing comfort, perfect for stage or studio. Its reinforced chassis ensures stability, while the **8 faders**, **6 Display Knobs**, **Scene Switches**, and central **Super Knob** provide direct access to essential parameters. Whether live or recording, you shape your sound without limits.
Sound power and multidimensional creativity
With up to **268 voices of total polyphony**, 10.7 GB of waveforms, and 1.9 GB of user memory, the MODX M6 handles even the densest textures effortlessly. The **16-track sequencer**, combined with **10,922 preset arpeggios** and real-time modulation, offers complete creative freedom. Every parameter can evolve live, allowing organic and dynamic transitions.
DAW integration and efficient workflow
Thanks to its **multichannel USB port** and **MIDI 2.0 compatibility**, the MODX M6 integrates smoothly into any digital setup. The included **Cubase AI** bundle and **ESP (Expanded Softsynth Plugin)** bridge hardware and software worlds perfectly. Edit, save, and perform seamlessly within your DAW.
