Yamaha has finally done it — the new MODX M is here! In this video, I take an in-depth look at what’s new, what’s improved, and what’s carried over from the MODX+ and the Montage M.
We’ll break down the new AN-X virtual analog engine, expanded AWM2 element architecture, upgraded controls and interface, and how the MODX M compares to the Montage M in real-world use. I also cover performance tweaks, voice counts, processor changes, and the long-awaited inclusion of the Yamaha ESP plugin license.
If you’re a synth enthusiast, sound designer, or performer looking to see whether the MODX M is the right upgrade, this video gives you the details you won’t find in the press release.
🎹 What to expect:
- Deep dive into MODX M vs MODX+ vs Montage M
- New AN-X engine walkthrough
- Interface and performance improvements
- Honest first impressions and what Yamaha got right (and wrong)
