Yamaha MODX M7 76-Key Synthesizer

Balance and versatility define Yamaha’s MODX M7 76-key synthesizer, a next-generation instrument that blends extended range, expressive control, and seamless creative workflow in a portable, performance-ready design. Built for keyboardists who move effortlessly between stage and studio, the MODX M7 builds on Yamaha’s acclaimed MODX+ line with three advanced synthesis engines—AN-X, FM-X, and AWM2—that deliver everything from analog warmth to dynamic digital tone and lifelike instruments. Its responsive semi-weighted keybed provides a satisfying feel across the full range, while an intuitive Super Knob control, USB MIDI 2.0 connectivity, and a built-in 4-output/10-input audio interface make it a powerful centerpiece for any creative setup.

Three Engines, Endless Expression

At the core of the MODX M7 are Yamaha’s three advanced synthesis engines working in harmony to shape a limitless sonic palette:

• AN-X: Models authentic analog behavior with pulse-width modulation, voltage drift, and filter shaping for vintage warmth.
• FM-X: Delivers dynamic frequency-modulated tones—bright, evolving, and harmonically rich.
• AWM2: Layers high-resolution samples for stunning realism, from pianos and strings to drums and ambient textures.

Together, these engines offer up to 268 notes of polyphony, letting you layer complex performances without compromise. Yamaha’s Motion Control system lets you morph between engines in real time for fluid transitions and evolving sound design.

Real-Time Control for Inspired Performance

Eight smooth faders, six display knobs, and Yamaha’s signature Super Knob put total command at your fingertips. Dedicated Part and Scene buttons simplify live transitions, while the Motion Control engine introduces rhythmic modulation and animation that brings performances to life. Every control—from pitch bend and mod wheel to Super Knob—is high-resolution, delivering the fine-grained responsiveness today’s players demand.

Streamlined Workflow and DAW Integration

With USB MIDI 2.0 and an integrated 4-output/10-input audio interface, the MODX M7 streamlines both live and studio workflows. Record multichannel audio directly into your DAW, route instruments and effects without extra gear, and manage complete mixes over a single connection. Yamaha’s free Expanded Softsynth Plugin (ESP) mirrors your hardware inside your DAW, providing full virtual control for editing, automation, and recall—so your creative flow never stops.

Lightweight Build, Professional Feel

Weighing roughly 16 pounds, the MODX M7 balances portability and professional touches. Its 76-key semi-weighted action offers the ideal compromise between fast synth playability and piano-style expressiveness. A reinforced chassis and durable controls ensure reliability through daily use, while its lightweight design makes it easy to move from studio to stage to rehearsal space without sacrifice.

Yamaha’s Legacy of Innovation

From the groundbreaking DX7 to today’s Montage and MODX M series, Yamaha has set the standard in music technology for decades. The MODX M7 carries that heritage forward, merging analog inspiration, digital precision, and hands-on expression into one forward-thinking instrument. For keyboardists ready to elevate their stage and studio workflow, the MODX M7 delivers the next bold chapter in Yamaha’s legacy of sound design.
