- Triple engine AWM2 + FM-X + AN-X unified by the "Motion Control Synthesis Engine" for textures ranging from realistic to vintage analog.
- FSB 61-key keyboard semi-weighted, full control surface (8 faders, 6 Display Knobs, Super Knob) designed for the stage.
- Creative power with up to 268 voices of polyphony, 16-track sequencer, and 10,922 ready-to-play arpeggios.
- Modern studio integration via multichannel USB audio, MIDI 2.0 compatibility, Cubase AI, and ESP plugin for a smooth workflow.
Heir to the MODX lineage, designed for mobility and performance
The MODX M6 continues the spirit of Yamaha performance-oriented synthesizers: a lightweight, robust, and ultra-expressive instrument that puts advanced synthesis within reach of mobile keyboardists. It condenses the sonic DNA of the MODX series and the "Motion Control" approach into a 61-key format, ideal for leading a live set or a compact studio.
A companion for versatile keyboardists
Whether you are an ambitious beginner, an experienced musician, or a demanding sound designer, the MODX M6 covers a wide spectrum: electro, techno, ambient, synthwave, pop, funk, scoring, and hybrid performances. Its play responsiveness, dedicated controls, and smooth transitions make it a preferred ally in concerts, while its connectivity and generous memory integrate naturally into a home studio.
Features and innovations
At the heart of the instrument, the combination of AWM2 (high-definition sampling), FM-X (8-operator FM), and AN-X (analog modeling) offers an immense sonic palette. The "Motion Control Synthesis Engine" orchestrates morphing, layering, and real-time modulation via the Super Knob, faders, and Display Knobs. The cumulative polyphony of up to 268 voices allows dense layers without compromise, while the 16-track sequencer, 10,922 arpeggios, and studio-quality effects stimulate composition and improvisation. On the integration side, the multichannel USB audio and MIDI 2.0 compatibility streamline connection with your DAW; the Cubase AI bundle and ESP plugin extend the experience in editing and saving, enabling seamless transition from hardware to software.
