Yamaha MODX M7 Music Synthesizer, 76 Keys

The Yamaha MODX M7 is the next-generation mid-range synthesizer, designed to deliver extraordinary sonic versatility and performance power. Combining three advanced sound engines — AN-X, FM-X, and AWM2 — the MODX M7 enables musicians to craft everything from vintage analogue warmth to dynamic digital textures and ultra-realistic acoustic tones.

Driven by Yamaha’s Motion Control Synthesis Engine, the MODX M7 introduces a new level of expression and creativity, offering automated real-time control that brings your performances and productions to life.

Main Features

• 76-key FSB keyboard with Initial Touch
• Three tone engines: AN-X (analogue modelling), FM-X (frequency modulation), AWM2 (sample-based synthesis)
• Motion Control Synthesis Engine for dynamic real-time modulation
• 3,427 preset performances and 256 preset live sets
• 16-part multitimbral operation plus audio input parts (A/D In, USB)
• 18 filter types for flexible sound sculpting
• Extensive integrated effects including reverb, variation, and insertion types
• 7” TFT colour wide VGA touchscreen for intuitive control
• 5-band master EQ plus individual part EQs
• USB audio/MIDI interface with 4 inputs and 10 outputs (44.1 kHz)
• Lightweight design at just 7.6 kg for easy portability

A New Era of Creative Sound Design

The MODX M7 integrates three powerful sound engines for a limitless palette of sound design possibilities:

• AN-X – Recreates the rich, warm, and expressive tones of vintage analogue synthesisers.
• FM-X – Produces bold, evolving FM sounds perfect for modern electronic music and cinematic textures.
• AWM2 – Delivers ultra-realistic, sample-based emulations of acoustic instruments with exceptional detail and dynamics.

These engines work in harmony through the Motion Control Synthesis Engine, adding a fourth dimension of sound manipulation with real-time modulation, automation, and performance-based control.

Stage and Studio Integration

With deep USB integration and the Expanded Softsynth Plugin (E.S.P.), the MODX M7 seamlessly bridges the gap between hardware and software. Its full tone generation can be accessed directly within your DAW, allowing you to move between studio production and live performance without compromise.

A wide range of hands-on controllers — including sliders, knobs, switches, and the signature Super Knob — provides direct access to sound parameters for expressive performance and instant sound shaping.
