General

Yamaha present pianists with extensive, richly expressive and far-reaching sound in the tight form of the MODX8 synthesizer, alongside the full support of an 88-note GHS keyboard. Each key mimics the weighted hammer-response of an acoustic piano to ensure an authentic and dynamic playing feel and is the result of 125 years of piano building experience, while inside this instrument, lies the result of 40 years spent developing and building potent synthesizers.

The MODX8: Classic Meets Modern

Under the hood of this powerful yet pianist-friendly synthesizer, lies the full-force of the AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) sample and synthesis engine, able to generate sounds including drums and acoustic instruments with faithful precision. Next to that, lies the FM-X (Frequency Modulation) that can create the definitive sound of contemporary electronic music as if from thin air. Everything, from the sounds to the built-in effects and filters, is smoothly and intuitively navigated, steered and tweaked via a 7-inch touchscreen and a bank of tactile controllers. This mash-up of two worlds comes complete with a PC and Mac compatible copy of Steinberg Cubase AI.

Tres beau synthé aux possibilités incroyables mais qu il faut dompter. Plusieurs mois vont être nécessaires pour l’apprivoiser Toucher piano très agréable et poids léger pour un 88 touches.

Great all rounder keyboard with almost infinite possibilities: available sounds, powerfull arpegiator, modulation, layering, scenes, connectivity, etc. Although not the best Yamaha keybed, 88 notes is a real bonus for pianists. Some might dislike it, but I got used to its keybed relative sponginess compared to my clp675.

Wrote the following about Yamaha MODX8 88-Key Synthesizer
Na een behoorlijk aantal jaren tot volle tevredenheid Motif XS7 te hebben gebruikt, was ik op zoek naar een goed klinkende vervanger. Naast een volledig en gewogen klavier was een andere belangrijke eis transportgemak. Vanwege formaat en gewicht viel de RD-2000 af, en werd het de net uitgekomen MODX8.
Eerste indrukken na twee weken: fantastisch geluid, mooi aanraakscherm met snelle toegang tot allerhande parameters en goed overzicht, compact en relatief licht!! Het klavier is iets lichter bespeelbaar dan dat van de RD (natuurlijk subjectief), maar resoneert iets meer in de plastic ombouw.
Het koppelen aan Logic en MainStage vergt nog tijd en studie, want ingewikkelder dan bij de Roland (tutorials pls, Yamaha!! Die van de Montage zijn er wel) vanwege de totaal andere opzet (alleen performances). Het aantal vrij te programmeren geheugenbanken is voor mij veel meer dan voldoende!
Afspelen van audiosamples kan, maar is i.t.t. de Motifs niet mogelijk vanuit de sequencer door middel van een koppeling aan een eigen track; dat moet live dus anders opgelost....
Levering door BAX zoals gebruikelijk, uitstekend, kortom blij mee!
