Yamaha MODX M8 88-key Performance Synthesizer ( MODX M8 / M8 / MOD-M8 )

Designed for the serious pianist, the Yamaha MODX M8 builds on its acclaimed predecessors’ impressive capabilities to deliver next-generation sound, expressive control, and workflow optimization in a sleek, lightweight, and roadworthy performance synth. Deeply expressive performances begin with a keyboard that responds instantly to your creative input, and that’s where the MODX M8 excels with its newly developed 88-note, graded hammer-action keybed and comprehensive control set featuring a logical top-panel control layout that provides intuitive real-time, hands-on tweakability. The MODX M8 is powered by three state-of-the-art Yamaha sound engines that serve up gritty classic analog synths, cutting-edge FM synthesis, vitalizing motion sequences, hyper-realistic instrument sounds, and more. It all adds to a formidable performance synthesizer that will elevate your music to the next level.
