The Advanced Wave Memory 2 (AWM2) sound engine is based on sample playback, but offers so much more. Each of the sixteen parts contains eight programmable synthesizers with filter (18 types), amplitude adjustment, envelope generators (pitch and filter), nine LFOs, a three-band EQ and dual insert effect with Virtual Circuitry modeling. All this with a polyphony of 128 voices.
The FM-X engine takes you back to the days of the legendary DX7 synthesizer, but surpasses it in many ways. Eight operators, 64-voice polyphony, various filters and more are available for shaping your sound.
Built-in 1GB flash memory offers instant and quick access to custom samples and libraries from yamahamusicsoft.com. So you can change your sound as easily as socks.
A range of effects from detailed reverbs to Virtual Circuit Modeling effects are available for boundless creative fun. Use Beat Repeat, Vinyl Break or Bit Crusher to achieve a modern EDM sound, or look back to the past with analog delay, phaser or machine simulations. There's also a sidechain option so you can pump up your production.
Pianists and keyboardists will appreciate adjustable Damper resonance and HD reverbs, for example. In addition, owners of MODX synths get a link to download the sound of the Bösendorfer Imperial Premium Grand can enjoy a precisely sampled concert grand.
The built-in A/D converter also allows you to process external audio using MODX effects or use the "invisible" hands in the form of Motion Control.
MODX offers access to the Montage, Motif XS/XF and MOXF synthesizer libraries. But with the FM Converter app, you can also enjoy content designed for the DX7, DX7II, TX802 and TX816.
Controls are tailored for live playing and detailed automation settings in studio production. In addition, the Super Knob functions much like a conductor of an entire electronic orchestra, as you can set up to 128 parameters that can be controlled simultaneously with one turn (volume, pan, effects, filters, LFOs, operators, etc.). In addition, you can control the Super Knob with the FC7 foot controller.
Other parameters to mention include a built-in multi-channel USB sound card, a beat generator, a motion sequencer for time-synchronized parameter modulation, an envelope follower for sound modulation using external audio, or Auto Beat Sync, which synchronizes MODX to the tempo of an external source.
You'll be pleased with the nice weight and size and the included gig bag made of durable nylon.
