  • Does it include realistic piano and acoustic sounds? Absolutely. You get samples from Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer concert grands, plus orchestral instruments, electric pianos, and guitars.
  • Can I create sounds that no one else has? The 8-operator FM-X engine lets you design completely custom synth sounds, and Smart Morph uses AI to blend tones in ways not possible on other synths.

Yamaha MODX6+ – Studio-Grade Synth at a Gig-Ready Price

Why the MODX6+ Gives You More Sounds, More Control, and More Value

2,000+ Pro-Quality Sounds Built In

Get Every Sound You Need—Acoustic and Electronic

You need piano for a ballad, strings for a pad, and a fat synth bass—all in one song. The MODX6+ delivers with Yamaha's AWM2 engine: pristine samples of real instruments plus powerful synthesized sounds. Create up to 16 layered parts simultaneously, each with its own filters, effects, and envelopes. Whether you're covering Top 40 or producing original tracks, you already have the sounds pros use in hit records.

Classic 1980s FM Plus Modern Power

Create Sounds No One Else Has

The original DX7 defined a decade of music. The MODX6+ takes that legendary FM synthesis and supercharges it—8 operators instead of 6, 128-note polyphony, and modern filters the DX7 never had. Make bell-like mallets, growling basses, shimmering pads, and metallic leads that cut through any mix. Best part? You can blend FM sounds with acoustic samples for textures that did not exist before.

AI Creates Smooth Transitions Automatically

Morph Between Sounds with Your Finger

Want to go from electric piano to pad without stopping? Smart Morph uses AI to create seamless transitions between up to eight different FM sounds. Just slide your finger on the touchscreen or turn the Super Knob—the synth figures out how to blend them musically. It is like having a sound designer traveling with you who knows exactly how to make every transition work.

128 Notes at Once—Double Most Competitors

Never Run Out of Notes Mid-Performance

You are holding a piano chord with the sustain pedal, layering a pad, and triggering a drum pattern—suddenly notes start cutting off. That will not happen here. The MODX6+ gives you 128 notes of polyphony for AWM2 sounds AND another 128 for FM-X sounds running simultaneously. Layer as many sounds as you want, use the sustain pedal freely, and never worry about voice stealing killing your performance.

Record Directly Into Your DAW—One USB Cable

Replace Your Audio Interface

Most synths force you to buy a separate audio interface. The MODX6+ has a professional 4-in/10-out interface built in. Plug one USB cable into your computer and you are recording multi-track audio into Ableton, Logic, or any DAW. The two analog inputs let you run vocals or guitar through the MODX6+ effects before they hit your DAW. Less gear to carry, fewer cables to troubleshoot, more time making music.

Instant Drum Tracks in Any Style

Practice with a Full Band

Playing alone at home feels flat without a rhythm section. The MODX6+ includes hundreds of drum patterns across every genre—pop, rock, jazz, EDM, Latin, and more. One button press and you have a drummer. Perfect for practicing new songs, writing with a groove to inspire you, or covering for your drummer's absence at rehearsal. Every pattern syncs to tempo and responds to the song structure you need.

Adjust Up to 128 Parameters Simultaneously

Control Everything with One Knob

Your hands are busy playing keys, but you need to open a filter, add reverb, and shift the stereo field—all at once. Turn the Super Knob and watch your sound transform in real time. It controls as many parameters as you assign: volume, pan, effects, filters, LFOs, even individual oscillator settings. You can also plug in an FC7 foot pedal and control it hands-free while you play. It is the difference between static sounds and a performance that breathes.

Same High-Quality Feel as the Flagship MONTAGE

Pitch and Mod Wheels That Feel Professional

Cheap synths have cheap wheels—they are stiff, plastic, and imprecise. The MODX6+ uses the same rubber-coated pitch and modulation wheels found on Yamaha's $4,000+ MONTAGE series. They respond smoothly to subtle movements and return to center perfectly. When you are bending a lead solo or adding vibrato to a string line, you feel the difference immediately. Your expression translates accurately to the sound, exactly as you intended.
