Very helpful. I love that you left the mistakes. It really helped by showing how you figured out what the problem was. We learn more from that than just seeing the end result. Thanks!
Thank you for watching :-)
Very, Very informative. This is one of the BEST MODX Sequencer demonstrations that I have ever viewed.
This was very well done. Thank you for going slow and showing the organic process. So generous of you!
Thank you. Happy playing!
That is so true. Sometimes it can make me feel a lil bit of an idiot when someone seems like a genius and me a fool.
It can kinda stifle inspiration.
Thank you so much, Edgaba
This is my second time looking at this and it is even better this time.
Your video was the last push I needed to buy my modx7, thank you!
Cool! I think you’ll really like it. If you have an iPad you could sequence and record using cubasis. That is an easier workflow. Congratulations on your new keyboard and happy playing.
Great explanation of the sequencer. I still continue to still have the same problems with the pattern switching without me realizing. I hope that Yamaha will address with an update soon.
Thank you! I've had this keyboard for a year and was dreading figuring out the sequencer. There are very few videos on how to use it. This is a very helpful.
Like everyone else, I was stuck on that keyboard control thing. Thank you for breaking out!
Today, I finally learned the functions of the sequencer. Thank you so much. It's been a month since I bought my Modx6 and now I can use the sequencer easily.
Keshava Sharma yes it gets easier the more you use it. Also if you have an iPad is even easier to use with Cubasis. However, for doing instrumentals it is really all you need
@@overviewworkflow3502 I am facing one issue repeatedly. Whenever I do a recording and save it as a pattern name and go back to the same recorded pattern name later on, I can only see the 1st performance associated it, the one which I selected before pressing the record button (both in record screen part 1-8 as well as in the recorded audio in the edit/job section in the overview section) No other performance can be seen in that pattern name even after storing pattern and performance settings.
However, when I add the same performances again manually, the recorded part comes back.
Please help.
🔧⚙️🎹 thanks ... I plan to buy one. I was going for the DX7 sounds and available possibilities. Also watched a video " how to fix thin acoustic piano sounds on the MODX " that was a game changer. The guy showed how to increase key velocity making brighter louder sounds. That was very convincing. Without your video, I would probably hate this synth.
As a Montage user. For a long time. There was no help videos like these. Thanks for starting from scratch. Its the only helpful way, to view an instruction video. Subscribing now.
Thank you so much for this video.I'm looking forward to more of your contributions. The MODX is a beast.
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve watched others and this one makes the sequencer process so easy. It actually makes sense now! Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words. Happy playing
Thanks so much Eddie. You are very talented. I'm amazed that you recorded a sequence on the fly! I'll be buying a MODX8 within the next few months .Your tutorial has made it easier for me to visualize the process. VERY HELPFUL!
2705Jim Thank you so much for your kind comment, congratulations on you MODX purchase, I hope you enjoy it!
That was a nice intro to recording on the MODX. Thank you!
Thank you for this. Love the honest approach and showing it like it is!
This was absolutely wonderful - thank you!
Thank you for your clear detailed instructions. Greatly appreciated.
Thankyou sir this is better than any help video I’ve found so far you had same mistakes I was having my head was hurting with trying to figure it out too I’m sticking to using cubasis too on iPad so much easier
Thank you for your indepth explanations and examples.
Excellent tutorial!!!! Thanks!
Wow, finally a proper video on this topic! Thanks.
Why do I like this video? Because it shows, how complicated everything is ;)
Exactly! They made it so complicated it truly makes no sense some of the layout haha
@@eddiegarridobyrequest3990 After over 40 years playing the whole variety of keyboard instruments, my first synth. I am fighting with everthing. Nice documentations/instructional videos are very rare ... and not in my native language. This pure (commercial) theory provided by Yamaha gives me nothing.
A few days ago I found something, that first time made me laugh (with understanding). Take a look, my friend: ua-cam.com/video/89P_uqcSHrA/v-deo.html
@@ChordFreak yes it’s true, they did make the MODX a bit complicated haha
Thanks for the very informative video. Just ordered my MODX8, seems like a bit of a minefield at the moment but hopefully I'll manage to navigate my way around it! I did music technology in college 12yrs ago, basically forgotten everything I learned 😂
Awesome video. T. !! 👏🏽👊🏽🕶️
Really appreciate you doing this and clarifying 👍, Hella cool! Thought I had to buy a separate sequencer, I still may, but it's good to know I don't have to.
Great. Thanks a lot, very helpful Eddie 😎👍🎹🎵🎶💥
Nice Video Eddie. Very helpful just got my MODX, I have much to learn.
Excellent instruction!👍🏽
Thank you, thank you, thank you. There is no other way to say it.
Thank you and you’re welcome. I’m glad it helped.
Thanks for the video. well done.
Thank you! Very helpful video!!
Yes, appreciate the mistakes. All familiar frustrations. Thanks. Muchas gracias.
This was a great help Eddie, it looks much easier than I thought with only a couple of gotchas to be aware of. Yamaha improves this all the time so I expect the feedback to improve this even more, and your work putting it out there helps!
Thank you, Yamaha has made an update to the OS for both the montage and the MODX mostly adding sound design features but they have also added some editing features to the sequencer. I haven’t updated my keyboard yet but fingers crossed they made the sequencer friendlier. I know now they did add a feature where you don’t have to stop the sequencer to change tracks as you record.
This is a very useful video indeed, thanx !
thanks , way more helpful then the other tutorials .
Your video is great! Helped me a lot to get started. ❤
Thank you :-)
Thanks for this it helped a lot
It's crazy that Yamaha dumped the track view and the piano roll view that they have in all their earlier devices like the QY 700 or Motif XS, this is a step back...and now they're trying to "fix it".
Great video!
Thank you!. Gracias !
Very informative thank you
Gracias Mijo!!
Thank You :) Very helpful
Very helpful. thank you.
13:08 Dry level lowers the volume of the original sound while reverbs and var sends stays. Use bottom white vertical bar for volume if you want both going down. :) Great tutorial!
Thanks a million.
This is great because both Montage and MODx sequencers are VERY basic in their editing features, most people don't bother giving tuition on them... BUT, this was still very helpful. So, GREAT JOB! A scratch pad... yep. ;)
very good tutorial...iv got my modx for a week, its an amazing keyboard, i just wish that guys from apple could do the software...it would be much simpler and user friendly, this is so complicated it takes so much time to make a simple sequence....regards
Out of all the modx sequencer video, this one is very much informative. Thank you sooo much.
Please can you make a video on audio and midi mode in the pattern sequencer......? Would be if great help
I remember it being easier to sequence back in the 90s without touch-screens. Also, only Yamaha in 2020s could have touch-screen, but no grid, piano roll pattern edit. My Roland V-Synth from 2003 takes way better advantage of it's early touch-screen, grid interface for pattern editing, you can draw any automation, modulation with your finger, etc... I don't know what's wrong with Yamaha, I think Akai MPC Key is a better option for a similar price.
Thank you Eddie. Very helpful video.
TheSingingRN thank you for watching :-)
Thank you. Keep on jamming! This was very helpful.
PRECIOUS TIPS
they need to update this thing again..seems pretty rough around the edges but man the sounds are amazing.. gonna research the new fantom before making my choice on which one to buy
What a great and informative video I have learnt a lot thank you 🙏 , can you copy one scene to another ie copy scene 1 to scene 2 etc.
Thank
Paul.
The Kbd Ctrl does not arm a part for recording. You only have to press the record button to arm your part. The Kbd Ctrl is used when you want to record multiple sounds in your sequence or to use multi part performances the way they were meant to sound.
This was an amazing Tutorial! i recently picked up a ModX8 and i've watched a few videos. This was the best so far. But my only problem is when I go to the record screen mine looks a bit different, there is no choice of length, when you go to record it's very linear like a 1 track tape recorder.
Send me a picture of the screen that comes up. It sounds to me that you’re entering audio record mode
Great tutorial...Make sure you also store part & performance data..this links that pattern 20 to the performance name...Otherwise you will have to set all the tracks again.
True haha thanks for the tip
I've owned this MODX for 9 months now and I'm still frustrated with the menu. It must be a Yamaha thing. A roland JD-XI is so easy to make a quick idea on that Yamaha could learn something from.
John yes you are right is always been awkward making a sequence with the Yamaha stuff however is very powerful, if you think of it as arming and disarming tracks, just like you would in any daw or dedicated recorder then it becomes easier to use and also always making sure that we are always recording on the same phrase. Also the scene navigation is powerful for love use. Anyway, I find it easier to connect it to an ipad and using it with Cubasis. All in all is a matter of using the sequencer on the MODX more and more and we eventually get use to it haha
Shows a chinese child of ten programing the Yamaha Modx.
They fail to tell you his I.Q is higher than Einstein's
🤣
Really really good thanks...have you got a tutorial on setting up and using the Modx with Logic 10.5?
I haven’t. I do use Logic however I have two setups. When I use Logic I usually just use Plugin Instruments from UVI and Spectrasonics my second setup is MODX to IPad using Cubasis. Although my last full album was was recorded using all MODX and Cubasis, I mostly use the MODX for live performances.
Can you all that without stop the sequencer? So that u can live loop and record from track to track. For example, change instrument/ track, change length of the new pattern....and so on. TY in advance! Am a MOXF6 user but the main output is broken.
In another video, I have seen someone using the scenes for live play like style variations in a PSR arranger (A to D). Would it be feasible to program an automatic accompaniment following the chords I am playing with my left hand? Would it then be possible to play a melody at the same time with the right hand and record the whole performance (including switching the "scenes=style variations" manually) to a linear song format? Cheers
hey friend. nice video!. i dont know if you can help me,but when i save a piano performance in my usb drive,it sounds weird when i try to listen to it in my pc. do you have any idea why?. thanks!
reproducible.! Is a GREAT presentation. I have had my MODX for More than a year and have not been able to figure out this stuff. Listened to 'Funky Grooves ' Excellent! All the sounds from Modx? And did you use built in drum patterns or you created drums from scratch?
Hello and thanks for listening to Funky Grooves. Yes all the sounds are from the MODX. The drums were made with different iPad apps using MV08, Arturia iSpark and some from the MODX. Mostly I used MV08 built from scratch. Once I built the drum loops I needed I transfer them to Cubasis on the iPad than connected the MOdX to the iPad via USB and recorded in top of the drum tracks as audio. All the sounds and percussions came from the MODX except obviously the Trumpet on the song Whispers and
The songs: Prophet Dreams and Coming Home: these were made entirely with iPad apps Syntronic and iMini. The pianos are Reavenscroft app. Thanks for listening.
Thanks for your video and the insights shared. I own a MODX7 but can't seem to get to the pattern creation mode. When I press the record button, it takes me straight to the song record mode. Is there something I missed out? kindly assist. many thanks
You need to check the firmware on the keyboard. You may have to install the latest firmware update for the MODX.
Download it from the Yamaha website and there are many videos on how to update the firmware on UA-cam. Yamaha/Steinberg has a UA-cam channel. Update your firmware and you’ll be ready to go. I hope this helps.
@@eddiegarridobyrequest3990 Hi Eddie, you are heaven-sent. I update the firmware and it works like magic. I wonder how Yamaha will sell me an outdated firmware on a new gear I just acquired less than 3 months ago. Many thanks for all you do and BIG ups brother!!

Thanks for that. Can you have time signatures other than 4/4, say like 6/8 or 2/4 or others?
Yes you can. Time Signature must be set before... much like when writing a chart, you draw the framework before you start entering notes. You cannot change the Time Signature after you record, and have it make sense.
From the [PERFORMANCE (HOME)] screen of the Performance you wish to record, touch “Play/Rec” to view the Song Recorder screen.
Press the [REC] button to enter Record Standby.
Now you can set the Time Signature, Tempo that will be memorized by the Song.
can the modx record a whole song, as opposed to recording relatively short sequences? Like can you play a drum part for 5 minutes, then play a bass part for 5 minutes, then play a keyboard part for 5 minutes, to create a 5 minute backing track? Thanks!
I have a modx8 and been struggling with this, so Brilliant video.. thanks for this.. i like that you left your mistakes as well, big help...2 questions... .. 1, is it 256 measures per scene or all scenes .. and 2.. can you set the scenes to auto trigger for a full 8 scene piece of linear music... Thanks
256 measures per scene
Here is another tutorial you might enjoy, to my surprise they were using one of my songs hahaha yamahamodxfaq.wordpress.com/2021/05/15/28-pattern-recorder-mid/
Thank you so much, I thought I was brain dead.. oh man
Thanks for this. What does that link icon mean at the top?
Andy Sweetman what link are you referring about?
Hello Eddie, Please when can you do a video on how to convert the scenes into a song?
I will try to make one this week
okay the video is up right here ua-cam.com/video/dKs-8hi6B2E/v-deo.html its a bit blurry but it does the trick.
Is it possible to view the midi files with the Modx?
Hi Eddie G! Thank you for this video! -- I took your suggestion and stared working with Cubasis 3 - as a sequencer with my MODX. How do I 'mixdown' the song if the sounds are all generated by the MODX? It plays fine when all MIDI channels are recorded in Cubasis, but when I select 'Mixdown' with cubasis, nothing! no sound is converted, and the .wav file is empty. How did you record the sound for your album using MODX and Cubasis? Thanks!
In my album I only recorded audio tracks into Cubasis. I plug the MODX to the iPad using a CCK and I find it best to create the audio tracks in stereo. (They are mono by default) that’s how I did it. However if you want to use MIDI so you can edit stuff you.l could record everything in MIDI, edit and than replay everything into Audio tracks. One thing you can try is to freeze the track; I’m not sure what will happen but maybe, just maybe it will convert the MIDI to audio automatically (the freeze function creates an audio track) obviously it works with the Cubasis instruments however, since they are both the same company maybe it will work. Try it as an experiment and let me know if it works. I hope this was helpful.
@@edgaba thank you - i found I can mute all track and record the MODX as a new Audio track playing the MIDI that I created - seems to work -
A song from Scandal called 'Goodbye To You' has a beginning bass sequence with the following chords (Am, D, F#, E). I need to make that into a sequence or a arpeggio where I can either hold the chord (preferred) or at least one key. Any idea how to do this?
very ggod thanks? A question, can you change the time signature?
Yes you can. Time Signature must be set before... much like when writing a chart, you draw the framework before you start entering notes. You cannot change the Time Signature after you record, and have it make sense.
From the [PERFORMANCE (HOME)] screen of the Performance you wish to record, touch “Play/Rec” to view the Song Recorder screen.
Press the [REC] button to enter Record Standby.
Now you can set the Time Signature, Tempo that will be memorized by the Song.
Can I play a whole song with all the tracks if I need them all, and how many songs or internal storage does the modx have? Thank you so much for your video. So helpful.
Levinite 1 Yes you can. And also in 2 different ways. You could link your phrases into a song arrangement and play it like that or you can use the scenes . For example, scene one intro scene 2 verse, scene 3 chorus etc. This way if you have a player that ones to solo for a long time or you want to lengthen or shorten a song you can do so. The MODX has 1 gig of internal ram to hold midi notes and samples. I believe it also reads from a USB drive. An advantage of playing a song with all tracks in the sequencer is that you can mute tracks on the fly if sometimes you have other players with you. A disadvantage is that depending on the sounds you use in your tracks some patches are polishing hungry and you may experience drop notes. It all depends on the patches you use and how busy the song is. I do t normally use tracks I like to play everything live however, sometimes if it’s necessary I rather trigger any track or sequence with an iPod or iPhone, connect it to the input of the MODX this way you can have the tracks as busy as you want without compromising polyphony and it frees the keyboard completely to other uses. That’s what I do when I don’t have a drummer I program my drum loops and trigger them with an iPhone using Launchpad. I hope this was helpful.
All of these "sequences" and "arpeggios" show recording music in real time. How do you step record? I can't find this anywhere. Does it do that?
Hey do you know where I go to edit what part of the keyboard I can use the sustain pedal on?
I.e if I’m splitting the keyboard (left bass) should be dry (right piano) sustains when I press the pedal
Hope that makes sense
1.Choose( highlight) the instrument/track you want to edit. 2. Press the Edit button. 3. Press Mod/Control. 4. Press Receive SW. 5. The 5th column from left to right is Sustain, turn it off.
I hope this helps.
@@edgaba yea I tried that and it doesn’t work would you believe! :( thanks for replying
@@edgaba worked it out mate it was what you said but I had to to exit for changes to take effect
Thanks for your help
This thing looks very complicated to me. Is there Step-Edit possibility to edit small misplayed notes? How could you copy and paste Parts? Thank you for you Video.
pcpanik there is a way for both fixing notes and copy and paste within the MODX but truly the easiest way to use the MODX is to connect it to an iPad and record either MIDI, Audio or both with Cubasis. That is the best way in my opinion. You would need a camera connection kit and the MODX is already an audio interface.
@@eddiegarridobyrequest3990 why do you need a camera connect kit?
@@fredhaws7532 you need a camera connection kit if you are plugin the MODX to an iPad to use with Cubasis
Which makes it a lot easier to record both MIDI or Audio.
@@edgaba tks
On top of those tracks, can you add vocal track? Tks
Yes you can, if you import them as samples. But I wouldn’t recommend that workflow it can be tedious. You could however, use an iPad and record your vocals using Cubasis
Hi, is it possible to edit individual midi notes on MODX in something like a piano roll editor in Fantom or even something like on older Motifs where a list of midi events could be viewed/edited?
Yes
Yes it can but is not intuitive and it can be tedious I recommend using Cubasis with the MODX and everything becomes very easy.
You can export the midi notes and edit them and re import into modx.
It switches patterns, always goes to the next one and I just don't know how to keep the same one. How are you able to manage this ?
Yes it switches when you leave that screen with the exit button, it is a pain. Always check what pattern you are on. Just make sure that you are in the right pattern. The MODX doesn’t have the ideal or easiest workflow but once you are use to it it is very powerful. I prefer using an iPad running Cubasis to sequence. Happy recording!
@@eddiegarridobyrequest3990 I just found out that the way to avoid the pattern from switching when adding a news track or voice is not to press recording, instead just press the play button and it won't switch patterns.
Venatt1 thank you very much for the tip
Quick question: at 9:25 when you add the 'Case 75 Medium' keyboard patch; why do two separate tracks appear on the sequencer both called 'Keys Electric Piano'? A similar thing happens at 10:56 when the 'Romance Strings' patch is added, three separate tracks appear, two called 'Str Ensemble' and one 'CPerc Mallet'. This has been happening on my Modx8 and I don't know why - surely only one track should appear when one patch is selected? Any help or explanation would be great, thanks!
Hello, I’m order to beef up the patches Yamaha sometimes uses the same Patch on different channels with different pan values and maybe fx etc. the modx and montage were originally only for live performance and the sequencer was added later. One way to avoid that is to search for single sounds. When looking for patches under category you can filter out things, the filters are in top of the screen make sure is set to single and only patches that use one channel will appear. I know it’s confusing however, like I said these keyboards were originally design for live use only and they added the sequencer later. I hope this helps.
Does the rythm automatically follow the chords, when it is save to a performance
I’m not sure if I understand the question correctly. The rhythm meaning drums, will follow the song as you program it. However, I think you’re talking about a behavior like the once in a PSR series keyboards. If that is the case in theory yes it could but it’s not easy program it that way. The sequencer is built for doing patterns that will build a song. Each patter can have whatever you program I to it and then you can chain all the patterns together in any order you want. Verse, Chorus, Bridge, etc.
To have ore programmed rhythms follow your chords you would be better off with a keyboard arranger such as the PSR Series and Korg also makes some nice one. I hope this helps.
That’s absolutely brilliant Eddie thank you.
I found Amazon the easiest way to preview your music by the way.
How did you get the sound from the Modx into Cubasis please?
All the best.
Go out of the MODX usb into the iPad through a camera connection kit, Cubasis recognizes immediately. If not go to settings in Cubasis and chose it from the options now you’re ready to transmit both audio and midi. I would recommend just record audio tracks. I hope this helps and sorry for the late response.
thank you i got it but i dont play much
...me again, pls tell me why melas performer editor wont read user arpeggios? i cant use them, i can only store but how to import it to the performance? regards
Sorry, I don’t have melas performer, I really don’t know anything about that.
Can you do a video how to connect, and record in cubase ipad??
Sure, I will soon. I’m the meantime all you have to do is connect a usb chord from the MODX to a camera connection kit (CCK) connect it to the iPad and Cubasis will recognize it. Make an audio or midi track, press record and play :-)
You can only hit record once. After that once you pic another sound hit exit to stay on the same pattern. I would like to know how to turn patterns into songs.
I have a video on that subject. Assign the patterns to scenes then chain the scenes. I made a video on that very thing.
You can hit record a second time and puts it into practice mode. Hit again to start recording.
Hey man, I know it's been long since you did that video, but I came across it because I'm considering buying a MODX7 and I have several questions that I don't seem to find the answers to.
1. How many user banks you can have in Live Sets and how many Live sets per bank?
2. Can you rename the User banks itself? Let's say, if I play gigs with different bands, I may like to rename that bank to the name of the band that I play with, for the sake of making it more obvious and organising purposes.
Thanks in advance!
In my understanding in the MODX you have 8 User banks
Each user bank has 16 Live set pages and each page has 16 performances.
In other words 256 user performances per Live Set pages
And there is 8 user pages for a total of 2048 user performances
Each performance can be named whatever you want like the title of a song.
Navigating it is relatively easy. I play with 2 bands and also do a solo act.
I use user 5 bank for a rock band and I have yet to fill one of the pages
I use 15 performance sets out of the 256 available on that bank.
For my solo act I’ve used 4 pages or 64 performances.
To my knowledge you cannot name the pages however in my opinion there is no need since you can name the performances. And you could say Bank 4 is for band X and Bank 5 for band Y or something like it.
So to recap how many user banks?
8
How many live sets per bank?
256 (16 pages of 16 live sets per bank)
I hope this helps.
how do I record a live guitar in the pattern
I’ve never done it on the MODX however, I believe that you import the sample or samples of your live guitar. That sample or samples get assigned to a trigger note (or notes) when you record your pattern you trigger that sample in the track. All the samples need to be saved as a program/Patch so that the MODX can find them every time and you will not need to load them every time. Once it’s a program the MODX will remember the location. I personally would record live instruments with a daw however I assume you want to have different patterns to play a song live with chorus verse etc. Experiment with the above posible solution and I hope this helps. :-)
@@eddiegarridobyrequest3990 yea i did it that way but I can't get my guitar rhythm guitar to align with the quantize is there a way I can use a metronome
Well... make sure your sample of your rhythm guitar is exact. If you are recording it on a daw, make sure there is no fx trail at the end of it. The sample must be accurate. Also you can quantize the note that triggers the sample but make sure that the phrase and the sample share the same length and BPM tempo. All that has to line up. I hope this helps.
Thanks for this, this is really badly explained in the MODX manuals
i want to buy roland fantom 6 , what you think?
Well... I personally prefer the MODX., Montage, Motif ir even a Nord. I do own a couple of Roland keyboards that can be loaded with Fantom sounds, as their line of keyboards can share sounds. My opinions on these keyboards are as follows. 1. If you play Pop music they are great not so much for jazz and easy listening. The patches mix well in a pop mix specially live but I found that when you need a more intimate sound set the Roland keyboards lack. 2. There manuals are badly written and even their website is so confusing at least for me. I bought a Roland FA for about a week and returned it. But again it depends of your need. I have a Roland Axe that uses fantom sounds and I love it but not for playing jazz, ballads it’s more for playing 80s 90s I also have a JDXI that also uses Fantom sounds and it’s a great little keyboard for making Grooves quickly I really love that one. It really depends on how you would use the Fantom. Here are a couple videos I did on the keyboards I mentioned ua-cam.com/video/Ap7vgMERh58/v-deo.html
JDXI
ua-cam.com/video/UM_AZEws-y8/v-deo.html
Personally I would get a MODX and if you already have one and want a second keyboard and extra cash to spend get a Nord but I’ll repeat it all depends on what are you going to use it for.
How to add auto fillin pickups?
I do t understand the question. Could you please be more specific and tell me exactly what is it that you’re trying to do?
Dude that EDDIE 1 is a nice patch! Can I have it?
Sure! They are all sounds from the MODX so you could build it from within. Where would I send the patch?
@@eddiegarridobyrequest3990 are you on Facebook? If so i can direct message you my email there.
yes KEVIN D ROBINSON THERE is a timeline pic of me playing the Roland Keytar with a guitarist. Sorry this took 4 months.
How to quantize?

add the sounds first on the tracks you want to record
Yamaha BLEW IT..BIG TIME!!!
Except, these are flying off shelves. It's not perfect, but it has all the power of the Montage, every single waveform from the Motif Series, and MOXF series.. yes, some corners were cut, but in terms of actual amount of sounds, and quality of sounds, it beats almost every other digital synth. You'd need a Kronos, a Montage, or a Fantom to do better, and they are $1000's more. I can't think of a single synth in this class, that comes close. The FA and Krome.. are NOT half as capable. The FA is horrible to use, a tiny, tiny screen. I had one, as well as a MOTIF XS.. the older MOTIF was superior. The Krome?.. no way.. not in terms of sounds.. The interface can be just as confusing as the Yamaha (Had a Kronos..pure beast, but annoying sequencer and FX menu)
Bloody hell. Yamaha have made it complicated and unintuitive.
Yes they did. But think of it as an old school recording mixer where you had to arm and disarm tracks/channels to record. But the best way to use this keyboard is if you have an iPad and record in Cubasis
True, Geoff. I can say ... for live performance it is a dream come true! I've had my MODX7 for 2+ years and had zero issues with it (knock on wood!).
Awesome sounds onboard and via 3rd party. Lightweight (very! 16.5 pounds on the MODX7). Probably one of the best musical instruments of any kind that I've ever owned. LOVE my MODX7!
Its really complicated to use... Even with OS update v.252 which basically makes the MODX a workstation after adding the linear sequencer... It can be very overwhelming and a bit intimidating, because Yamaha have not created any real tutorial manuals to work with, even the online Parameter guide Pdfs dont explain anything at all... I was shocked with Yamaha about that, especially after paying £1100 (i bought the 88 note version)... It appears, like Roland.. they think everybody who composes music only creates 4 or 8 measure songs and either uses a DAW or wants an ancient 70s drum machine type step sequencer onboard.... at least Yamaha, like Korg came to their senses and updated the sequencer, but they provided no manuals or tutorials
