The MODX's sound engine shares its underlying technology with Yamaha's flagship MONTAGE synthesizer. The complex AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) sample and synthesis engine, as well as the complementary FM-X (Frequency Modulation) synthesis, have been specially modernised for optimised sound reproduction and even more complex sound design possibilities.
The portable and lightweight MODX was developed especially for musicians with a high demand for mobility. The MODX6 weighs 6.6 kg, the MODX7 7.4 kg and the MODX8, equipped with a hammer keyboard, still weighs a slim 13.8 kg.
