MODX M8

Even more expressive sound with the newly developed AN-X virtual analog synthesis engine. As the key feature of the MONTAGE series, the Motion Control Synthesis Engine is a comprehensive synthesis system that combines hybrid engines synthesis with Motion Control to enable intricate and dynamic sound changes using various methods of control. 

Specifications

Features

Recreate everything from warm vintage synthesizer keys to cutting-edge, aggressive tones. Built with a 16-polyphony virtual analog framework featuring advanced oscillator modulation, sync, and shaping capabilities, it delivers a massive design toolkit including two filters, 10 filter types, pulse width modulation, oscillator self-sync, ring modulation, wave shaper/wave folder processing, and realistic vintage modeling behaviors via voltage drift and aging settings.

Experience an unprecedented layer of sound design that natively unifies multi-engine hybrid synthesis with advanced interactive controls. Take full creative control using Motion Sequences to dynamically automate synth and effect parameters in perfect tempo sync, shape your output envelope on the fly via the Envelope Follower using external A/D inputs, and configure intricate, multi-layered real-time modulations.

Squeeze infinite creative potential out of three powerful independent engines running simultaneously. Features the 8-operator, 128-polyphony FM-X engine for characteristic cutting-edge digital textures, an improved AWM2 engine with up to 128 elements per part and double the waveform data capacity for incredibly realistic acoustic instruments, and the highly expressive AN-X virtual analog engine.

Eliminate any chance of note stealing during complex live sets or dense multitrack studio tracking. Flagship model configurations yield a combined maximum of up to 400 notes of polyphony orchestrated across all three internal sound architectures, while the lightweight performance tier offers a highly capable 268 notes of total polyphony (128 notes for AWM2 preset/user waveforms, 128 notes for FM-X parts, and 12 notes dedicated to the AN-X engine).

Alter the entire characteristics of your performance on the fly with a single, simple gesture. The multi-purpose Super Knob can simultaneously modulate up to 280 distinct parameters across multiple layers of sound, allowing musicians to implement complicated, sweeping multi-layered sonic transitions smoothly and intuitively without lifting their hands from the keyboard.

Experience noticeably smoother interaction than preceding generations with zero digital stepping or parameter zipper noise. All physical control interfaces—including the assignable panel knobs, Super Knob, Pitch Bend wheel, Modulation wheel, and internal sound engines—now operate at a fine, ultra-high resolution to match natural creative expression.

Navigate from the basic surface of a layout directly to its deepest sound parameters within seconds. Combines an intuitive central color touchscreen with six main display knobs, a dedicated Navigation button, a secondary LCD screen for immediate filter or oscillator tracking, and a Page Jump feature to instantly move data fields from the second screen over to the main touchscreen.

Add dramatic physical control dimensions to your stage setup for smooth, expressive performances. Features a dedicated five-segment ribbon controller with a tactile HOLD button, an intuitive KEYBOARD HOLD switch for sustaining complex chord structures while using knobs to edit, a dedicated Portamento on/off button, and an independent Portamento time adjustment knob.

Flagship synthesizer keys engineered to distinguish between the most subtle nuances in touch. The 61-key and 76-key variations feature premium FSX synthesizer actions supporting smooth Channel Aftertouch, while the 88-key weighted layout features groundbreaking GEX sensors providing Polyphonic Aftertouch modulation for each individual key alongside premium synthetic ebony and ivory keytops.

Seamlessly bridge the gap between stage and studio workflows. Free for registered owners, this standalone software instrument (VST3, AU) completely replicates the hardware synthesis engine directly within your favorite DAW, allowing you to create, edit, modify, and mix full-fledged performances anywhere without needing the physical keyboard attached.

Double your creative capacity with a massive memory footprint expansion over previous generation models. Offers approximately twice the processing memory, scaling up from 5.68 GB to 10.7 GB of high-resolution AWM2 preset waveform memory, alongside an expanded 1.9 GB of non-volatile User flash memory for custom sample loading.

Bring instrument sounds to life with authentic studio processing. Utilizing advanced Virtual Circuitry Modeling, this custom effects engine faithfully simulates the rich, enveloping, and classic organic rotation characteristics of a vintage rotary speaker cabinet.

Streamline your studio recording layout using a single USB cable. Features a multichannel 10-output, 4-input audio interface operating at 44.1kHz alongside modern MIDI 2.0 compliance, transmitting high-resolution data streams for note velocity, modulation, pitch bend, and Super Knob positioning directly to smart devices and computers.

Transform your physical synthesizer into a fully mapped hardware controller for major digital audio workstations. Features a dedicated DAW Remote button to map the 8 faders, 4 control knobs, transport keys, and software plugins directly into Cubase, Logic, ProTools, and Live, bundled with Cubase AI to easily record, edit, and mix songs.
