How much in US$ in Taiwan(Yamaha MODX6), here in the Middle East it is about 1,500US$.

You are nice person , i’m happy for you )

@@brandrookesalva8530 Jesus, 1.5 grand over a keyboard?

@@bmhater1283 Its not just some common keyboard, its a professional synthesizer. Its a sound designers tool and boards like these are commonly used in professional studios and by the gigging musician/Professional keyboardplayers etc. A standard keyboard only play back sounds, this in comparison, is highly programmable and offer several sound engines that enables the user to program an almost infinite range of quality sounds.

Yes agree, Yamaha has taken the innovative PX5S' highly mobile synth/stage piano concept to a higher level. Basically a Montage in a 30# case = nice. Plus it has a good price point which we bring in more sales for the budget bedroom studio folks......who will then complain away at lack of features....haha

Yeah comparing the price to the Montage, Genos,Tyros 5 is super affordable but you dont get good quality keys and no aftertouch.

Thank you soo much! Sorry for the late reply. All the best!

Thanks a lot for that kind feedback. ❤️I will pass that on to Jonas 😊🙏

Thank you, Stan!

instablaster...

Wow! Happy to hear, thank you for the kind words! It is truely a cool board!

Yeah man, honestly I went and demo'd one based on this video and ended up getting the 88 key after hearing it person. 95% of the sound fo the montage for 50% of the price seems pretty great to me! I am going to make patch libraries for it and then buy a montage after I make it rain looool! Thanks for the great video and well recorded sound. Even the official demo's can't do that half the time! Cheers :)

I just got this synth last week its awsome the sounds are amazing now I just put my DX7iifd away lol. you will like it

Enie009 Thanks a lot for the kind words. :)

There are a lot of synth machinists out there but you are a Player! Nice.

Texaco “Synth machinists” is the appropriate term for all those knob twiddlers and wannabe horror movie score composers. I prefer real musicians. This does *not* mean that one should play a synth like a piano or organ. Making extensive use of modulation *in a musical context* is the deal!

And not all of that RIDICULOUS" speaking. Just play the thing and let us enjoy, right? This guy is sick! I love his feel of the instruments he play.

Jonathan Huber thanks a lot! 🙏😊

daylightflute Thanks a lot for the kind feedback 😊 It sure sounds good! That’s great. Good luck and hope you will have a lot of fun with it!

Thank you so much. Means a lot! 🙏

GRAY FOX That’s so cool! I don’t think you will be disappointed :) Thanks a lot for the comment, means a lot!

@@PAGmusic Thanks, PAGmusic! It just arrived!

Awesome! Even more memory and polyphony 😃

SynthgodXXX Thank you so much! 🙏

Not a bad birthday gift! Happy birthday! 🥳

You are blessed

Pat Saxon Thanks a lot! It is fantastic, you have a lot of fun stuff to explore. 😊

Brazzo Absolutely, always use a Yamaha FC7 expression pedal for that, but for the demo I thought it was more visible to use the superknob itself 😊

@@holygeneration7 Where?

Thank you so much!

marcelovhm1 Thanks A lot! 😊

TISS Pro Haha! Thanks for that comment! 😁🙏

Go for modx8

Thanks! Great, it should be the same! 😃

Thanks a lot for that comment! 🙂🙏

Update: I purchased the MODX-7 after listening to the first track several times each day for over 3 days and also did my thorough research (over 9 days at around 5 hours a day). It is the marriage of your: selection of instruments, rhythmic accompaniment, performance, phrasing and overall composition that I realized that indeed the MODX is for my style of writing. This has to be one of the greatest moments for the MODX - full stop. It does not matter the number of LOFs nor oscillators, ultimately it is the sound quality that rules. Have you completed that composition from the opening video?

Wow! That’s a great complement! 🙏 It is a inspiring synth for sure. Let me know when you have uploaded your version of a Pearly Gates composition. In fact this was an ”in the moment” improvisation. 😎 Thanks again!

​@@PAGmusic What you were playing was a version of Pearly Gates? May I ask if you can give a link to any version of Pearly Gates which sounds like anything like your version, I could not find one. (BTW, just unpacked the MODX! )

My mistake, I see Pearly Gates as a preset, thinking it was the name of your composition.

MR PONFAR M You will not regret! 👍

🙏😊

I think so too. Sounds good. Good luck! 😊

Se vc for fera nas teclas vale a pena ter um, mesmo sabendo que custa o valor de uma moto mas se for apenas para brincar é melhor ter um pobre e fracassado Casio.

Les Paul thanks a lot! I appreciate it! 😊

Thank you Gonzales. Really happy to hear that 😊🙏

Thanks a lot for the kind words!

Thanks for the kind words! :)

😁🙏

Thanks for the comment, it is impressive indeed. Oh cool! I know what you mean. The good thing is that you have flash memory so you can load what every you want. If you like analog check out Phat Analog library I, II and III. The "classic poly" sound in the demo is from the Phat Analog III library. You can also auto sample your old analog synths with "Sample Robot" and turn them into Montage/MODX format.

Thank you for this inspiring demo! You reference the Phat Analog libraries 1, 2 and 3. Where do I find these libraries? Just getting started here. Ordered my MODX7 just a few days ago! Kindly advise and thanks again for the excellent demo!

I've been pretty impressed by how analog it sounds using the raw synth waveforms, filters and chorus/stereophonic optimizer effects.

PAGmusic is sample robot coming soon as a modx freebie like with montage?

Hi again Stephen,You will find them here. easysounds.eshop.t-online.de/epages/Shop40690.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Shop40690/Categories/Yamaha_MODX_Premium_Series They have some cool stuff. Really love the Phat Analog III, great library to add some analog classics to the MODX.

Thanks a lot! That could definitely be an option. Trying to collect info about what you guys want to see. FM is another request. :) All the best!

@@PAGmusic 👍🏼

Thank you! 😊🙏

MR PONFAR M Thank you very much!

Baymond Rell Thanks a lot! 😊

Talkboxer R Thanks a lot! 😊🙏

And Chance for a transcription? Cant stop Listen to them ... you Play so nice 👍🏽

Thanks a lot! :)

Martin Lubitz Thanks a lot! 😊 You have to try it out yourself!

Already done. Great key.....🤗

😊🙏

Bryan Eddy Thank you so much! All the best.

Hi Jorge, Check this board out, there are a lot of contemporary drum sounds in this synth.

Christian Figueroa just search for the sound called CFX + FM EP 2 using ”category search” and simply turn the superknob 😊👍

Not sure, but after a search and edit, I found "FM PWM Pad" of which I was able to come up with something really close to that sound using the Super Knob. This machine is ridiculously lol...nice

Hi DocTheopolis! I just checked. I think it is actually the preset patch called ”PWM strings” that we filtered down using the cut-off knob. I think we called it PWM pad because it sounds more like a pad when you filter it. Happy you like the machine 😃👌🏻

@@PAGmusic Thx, On it!😌

G Keybed as you said, plastic case instead of aluminum, less knobs/faders. No panel buttons on the right hand side, 1 Gb flashrom, different converters and 192 notes of polyphony instead of 256. Still sounds good though.

@@PAGmusic Are you able to say how the keybed / action would hold up to someone who is primarily a pianist? Is it a lot worse than the Montage or Yamaha's higher end EPs in this regard? Great vid, by the way.

Hi! I think you will have to try it out yourself as keybed is not only a matter of quality, but also personal tast. I prefer the Montage 8 keybed but I would say MODX8 keybed is still very good. MODX8 keybed is based on the Graded Hammer technology (GHS), which means it the lower keys are heavier and as you move up on the keyboard the keys gets lighter. This is how a real piano/grand piano action works. On the Montage 8 the keys are quiter and feels better, but it is a Balance Hammer Action - same weight all over the keyboard. It also features after touch. If you are used to piano action maybe you will like the MODX8 even better. It is really good for the price. Try both :)

Thanks for the info. Interesting. I note from Yamaha's website that their GHS action is for "aspiring pianists", which worries me a little as that implies "not actual pianists". Interesting to note, though, that the Montage has a balanced action - in that regard it's worth than the MODX for pianists, as you imply. Thanks again.

duketranslucent3rd no the Yamaha Montage does not have the same Keybed all over the piano although it’s Keybed is crazy good but it is heavier on the low end and it gets lighter like a real acoustic piano and it’s beast the MOXF has a waaaaayyy better Keybed then the MODX hands down go check for yourself.

Would have been great for a response on your comment from the presenter.

I havn't played a MODX, but I own the previous model MOXF 6. I guess the keyboards are quite the same and there is not any problem with quality or playability...

It has a quick response.

2 years late but you go with MODX 7. MODX 8 it has piano style keys and for quick riffs I dont know.

Modx8 has piano style keys. For playing Hold the line by toto i use a second keyboard connected thru midi because it is too hard to play fast and precise chords on the Modx8

Thanks for the comment. He does play great :)

It can be turned of, dimmed as you like or fixed light 😊 Thanks, the organs are good. My favorites are in the expansion pack ”organimation”.

@@PAGmusic thanks, can it do a real cathedral organ? I am talking make your hair stand on end pipe organ like Kurzweil or Nord? Can I load samples to it? Thanks for your replies. I am thinking of getting rid of my Korg Krome 61 for the Yamaha modx and later adding a Kronos to my collection. I think this Cathedral Pipe Organ from the Motif XS is superb! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLCIaq5hsZu-kmw.html

Thanks a lot! All the best!

Desi Dhamak MTX Thanks for the comment. Original sound straight in to Apollo twin. Only set levels (manual normalizing). For a couple of sounds some small adjustments to the internal effects in MODX. It sounds very good itself. Thanks

Mirco Tinacci I Can try. Just give me a minute;)

@@orgelfantomen giving away the sauce. You can really play

KINGOFGLORY 53 And you should! Montage is amazing! 😊

Thank you soo much!

foco pedo yes it’s true. Thats why I rather save a bit more money and order Montage

Yes its true,but modx8 has same hammer key as montage8

Thank you! It doesn’t have a sampler onboard but a sample player.

Marcelo Neto Berland Hey! No it is just straight into a daw via good preamps of Apollo Twin. I think maybe we added 1-2 db treble to the CFX +FM. Thats it. The board sounds really good. Best in the price range according to me. I think you should try it out and judge yourself. Best and good luck!

It sounds really good going into a daw or on headphones or monitors. Nothing wrong with the sound quality.

DubeTube LD They are all improvisations 😊

Doug Coates unfortunately not, but it is a preset so you should be able to find it by searching for CFX. The superknob should work by default. Best wishes!

Kenneth Teo Thanks a lot for the comment!

In the US around 1400+ dollar I think.

@@PAGmusic Thanks man.

Hi Thomas! Thanks for the comments. Yes, the first patch really shows the soundquality of both sample engine and FM engine. It is a bit tricky to please everybody unfortunately. We you say "we", that is not everybody. I get all kinds of requests, check out the other comments. :) - Some wants pure organ demos, others only FM and your request is for the muliple argeggios and FX. Live keyboardist tend to want to hear usual instruments as it is what they normally need most, and that category of sound has changed and improved a lot for sure. Tried to make a mix of both synthy sounds, arps and organic ones. Happy to hear that you want to hear more though. Will try to collect requests and see if I can come up with something :) All the best

@@PAGmusic You are correct, Jonas. I play in a classic rock band ... so I need the usual suspects--pianos, organs, brass etc. That said ... I also enjoy the material that Thomas is requesting. Thanks in large part to this demo ... I ordered my MODX7 a few days ago and should have it by this weekend! Very excited! Honestly ... I was just hours away from ordering a Roland last week when I heard about the new MODXs. My research included reviewing demos like this one and plans changed!

Hi Stephen, Really happy the demo could help to show the instrument and inspire. The MODX is a beast! Will try to put up more videos :)

Roland D. It is cool indeed! 🙏

Roland Gerard Thanks a lot for the kind comment! 😊

You are welcome, I hope you will publish more video's...
