The Yamaha MODX8 is an 88-note synthesizer with weighted keyboard action and extensive sound options, making it ideal for those looking for a powerful synthesizer in a piano-focused instrument. Despite its size the MODX8 is both lightweight and easy to transport and is therefore perfect for use as a professional stage piano.
The MODX8 features advanced Motion Control consisting of the Super Knob, Motion Sequences and Envelope Follower. The Super Knob can be used to trigger up to 128 parameters simultaneously, and these options can be extended further by employing the optional FC7 foot controller. Sound manipulation is represented visually by the illumination of the Knob. Motion Sequences are customisable control arrangements that can be assigned to a synth parameter manipulated to create new sounds. These sequences have dedicated front panel controls so they can be changed in real time. Finally, the Envelope Follower will convert audio into a trigger source for control of synthesizer parameters, and even live sources can be targeted using the A/D input. This gives even more freedom when choosing how to synthesize new sounds and existing ones.
