This is one of the best keyboard demos I have ever heard.... and I've been listening to keyboard demos since the 70s.... Not only does he play exceptionally well.... But he shows you features that most people only talk about.... with his demos you actually see how to sidechain, how to use external tempos, Etc. Again, well done!

Good summary. This video is outstanding.

Wow. Wasn't expecting to watch the entirety of this vid, but Luke's skills / chilled explanation kept me glued! 🙌

your demonstrations are SECOND TO NONE ! straight to the point and you cover so much features without boring your audience !!!

Out of all the videos I've seen so far yours is the best in demonstrating the modx. Thanks for your comprehensive tutorial.

It's nice to hear someone playing a keyboard they enjoy, and actually record with!

One of the better demos. Very well done, by someone who can play.

Wow, Your Panio Sounds Great. Perfect.

Wow. Mad skills and such an awesome demo. Congrats because I'm almost certainly going to buy one of these. Yamaha make such great instruments.

The next purchase I will make....Brilliant piece of gear. Well done Yamaha.

Great demo, thank you so much!

A really wonderful demo .Thank you!

Thanks for also demonstrating the use of the app interacting with the synthesizer.

I enjoyed every bit of this

I'm strictly a Roland fangirl, but I am VERY impressed by this keyboard, and the presentation / information from Luke. Very well done.

Amazing keyboard. Really mind blowing sounds.

Excellent review, really covered how you might want to use it as opposed to just running through the specs. Fantastic playing and choice of example songs as well, nice work!

Fading in the FM operators is an amazing feature!

finally a good demo on this piece

Wow. Mad skills and such and awesome demo. Congrats because I'm almost certainly going to buy one of these. Yamaha make such great instruments.

Cool demo, thanks! Very straight to the point.

Great to see a quality product demonstration by someone who is clearly a gigging professional

Stunning playing..Stunning instrument..

This synth is both awesome and amazing value for money! Very nice.

Hey man. On some of the acoustic sounds you just play the note harder. I actually edit some of these to make the slide note quieter, so it's more subtle.

Thank you Luke! Great demo on the interface with audio input. I'm trying to convince my worship leader to sell the Nord Stage 3 which no one uses other than the organ and one piano sound. This is a perfect solution to key in with the Ableton Live we use or Drum mix to use some great arpeggiation features. More usable and flexible than the Nord, and less $$.

I believe I am using this synth for marching band this year, and I'm pretty excited! It looks like it's a lot of fun to use, and while it isn't the Montage 8 (one of my dream synthesizers), it definitely looks like a more affordable version. And great demo, by the way! ^_^

Sounds great!

I have seen various demos of the MODX yet, even a few good ones, but this one is the best. Showing leasurely and casually demonstrating all the amazing stuff, aside from the sounds, this machine can do in a way that appeals to performing musicians. What a great instrument this really is. It also has got many things I'll never use, like the side chaining. And I've decided to cut out the LEDs from the super knob immediately in case I'll choose this one. Although the auto sync of delay, arp and seq to virtually anything is great. It also lacks things I'd like to have, like the audio recording facility on the Kross 2. So cannot make my mind up yet. Aside from that, this is a fantastic video. Thank you!

Thank you (here 2 years later) for the amazing review Mr. Luke!! This vid along with much research and homework helped me decide to pull the trigger and purchase 12 hours ago! My first keyboard since a toy Casio in 1984. Big big bucks in my world but I know that it will be worth it!! Can’t wait to start creating. P.S.

I just received the MODX 7 and LOVE IT!!! I did a ton of research and watched many video reviews including this one. I must say that any skepticism has been put to rest. This is my first Yamaha keyboard as I own the Korg Krome EX 73, Roland Juno DS 61and Kawai ES110. I am very very happy with the MODX and honesty feel it’s the best of the others I own. This synth is amazing and I’m looking forward to learning and exploring more of it’s capabilities. Yamaha really does a terrific job.

I just ordered mine this Black Friday. I hope I like it and didn’t make a mistake. I like the feeling of the weighted keys on the modx8. I never tried the modx7 and I bought it. I failed to read “semi weighted keys”. Does it feel nice to play?

@32NinerBravo

Жыл бұрын

@@christianluna6055 Honestly, I was really surprised how good the action was on the MODX7. For semi weighted keys, it feels really good. The action on the MODX7 is much better than on my Korg Krome EX 73. I wanted the MODX7 with the semi weighted keys so I could do faster synth runs but still have plenty of octaves. I already have the Kawai ES110 digital piano with weighted keys. Also, I am very happy with the piano sounds on the MODX. This board is incredible IMO. I think you will really like it. Take the time to learn it. Yamaha provides additional owner manuals on their website in addition to the one that dive deeper into the functions than the one that is included. I would also recommend getting the FC7 foot switch to control the superknob. It works amazing and enables you to use the superknob hands free while playing. If you decide after playing the semi weighted that you prefer the weighted keys, then I would suggest exchanging it for the MODX8. Enjoy and let us know how you like it.

The value is immediately obvious. I wanted the Montage, but no rhythm and the price, made it really hard to justify, although I almost bought a used 61 for 2k. Then saw this..I laughed out loud literally, and purchased it immediately. Unbelieveable power for that money.

As a drummer... I am terribly offended at the "don't have to ask twice" comment. HA! What an excellent demo and instrument!

I just checked the MODX out at GC. I played it side by side with a Montage. The action on the Montage feels much better than the MODX. I’d have to say that the action in the montage is just about the best I’ve ever experienced on any keyboard, so even though the MODX seems like a great value, I would enjoy playing the montage more.

nice intro u got me convinced

This is legit because everyone will not use everything in the Montage. It makes sense to chop it down to some compact functionalities that those people can use and not have them overpaying for it or opting out of having it. It still has the entire sound set?! If the MODX has aftertouch for it’s midi out, it’d probably be the top workstation (at its price point) to have in your production studio!

12:11 : unbelievable , love that sound more than the original song.

I had just placed an order for this wonderful keyboard, not just because of the incredible sounds, but how light weight it is. The only thing I do not like about it along with the Yamaha Montage, no 9 harmonic drawbars.

Cool!

super bro

picked up the modx this week can anybody tell me where i can fine the midnam file mac version for this unit yamaha does not have one

Nice video..you win perfect!! :)

Are there recording tracks for making a complete demo, with playback of completed arrangement?

the tempo sync thing is awsome will the yamaha then send a clock out that I can sync other stuff too?

Does this have the same action as the MOXF8, which is what I currently play? I assume the CV pedal can control pretty much everything? (i.e. Leslie)

I just bought the Yamaha MODX8 and I really want to know how to use all the buttons...lol...it gets complicated. I know how to play the piano, but I need to know what the buttons do like the motion sequence, control assign, the scene buttons with the faders on top....basically all of them....but I just don't know who can explain it. Can you make a video of how to explain it plz??? Thank you

Absolute Music, thanks for your good work, what kind of app are you using on the pad? Can you create something like strumming guitars accompanying you in mealtime based on a chord you give?

Those strings are putting me in a church mode😂😂... I love this keyboard!!!

Already know how to use aro phrases but still can’t find how to make some drum fills or brakes. Please help

Excellent demo Luke. Very straightforward and informative, one of the best that I have seen. However, one area that I haven't seen covered in any video so far is how does this keyboard interface in a MIDI/DAW setup. I currently have an original Motif in my studio to record MIDI with DP and Pro Tools using an array of VI's and external modules as sound sources. Would the MODX (or Montage) bring anything new to this configuration?

@lukejuby

5 жыл бұрын

Thank you. Wasn't lucky enough to get a Motif. 😁 But I believe it wasn't standard to have a soundcard right? A firewire expansion possible?? Well this has its own soundcard built in. USB out for audio and midi. So a simple wire and you're into your DAW or Mainstage directly. No need for an external soundcard or midi interface. Pretty cool and so handy. I did work on the road in hotels just using the keyboard, a USB and my mac. This was also only the second ever time I'd been in front of camera in this way. Haha. I think the first time didn't even make the light of day due to being so terrible.... so thank you for your positive comments. 👍🏼👍🏼 It is one hell of a synth for the money! Loved both the 6 and 8 I had. Just had to give them back which was a sad day.

I'm wondering what people think of the feel of the keys. Do they have the right weight and sensitivity for someone looking to replicate a real piano feel?

i do i like the sinewave, its gonna be real monster keyboard, i want 1

Wow nice job thanks ...but pllllz I like to know where modix8 made in ? Is there feke and original modx8?

thanks for the video, looks and sound like a great deal! Just a question how close the cs80 sounds are to the real thing? be honest :)

@lukejuby

4 жыл бұрын

More in tune... :) I do love the CS80. One of the greats if not the GOAT 🐐 The tuning issues of the old one can produce some of the most amazing sounds ever.. or it can be unplayable. So if I had a whole day to record I'd use the CS80 and love every second. If I wanted to play in a beautiful part and move on I'd use this every time. If it was a live gig and someone suggested we toured the 100kg CS I'd call him a cab and never speak to him again. 🙂

Hi Luke, really nice video. I am contemplating having one of these beautiful babies as well. However, the buttons on the right in Yamaha Montage are missing in MODX but, if I am not mistaken, their functionality is still available in MODX via touch panel. If you could clarify. Thanks :)

I have a Yamaha MODX8! It sounds great but if I'm playing using some built in rithm patterns and want to change the the patches to get another sound without having to stop the rithm pattern it just stop the rithm so I just dont know how to have continuity of the rithm pattern while I want to switch to another sound!

Best thing to do here is prepare a sound that has the sounds you want, ready to go, and then use the scenes to seamlessly switch. Or the keyboard option on the screen (I'd use scenes). Do the drum sounds go if you choose them from the rhythm button?
