street priceIn order to finally knock competitors out of the niche of workstations and performing synthesizers in the middle price range, as well as for those consumers who dreamed of Montage, but could only afford the SY77, the Japanese company released MODX, a cheaper version of Montage, which, moreover, is cheaper than MOXF, but it has a large color screen and a sophisticated AWM2 + AFM sound engine! Fairly democratic price will allow you to plunge into the world of FM synthesis, successfully putting it on good old AWM2 samples.

For a long time the workstations market, if we speak about mid-range instruments, was dominated by two synthesizers: Yamaha MOXF and Roland FA, Korg Krome being cheaper and less powerful solution. Both workstations have similar set of features and capabilities, and the choice between them consisted mainly of the user's taste preferences. Has anything changed with the release of the Yamaha MODX?
Yamaha has announced the launch of a new line of lightweight compact synthesizers, which will consist of three instruments: MODX6 and MODX7 with 61 and 76 pressure-sensitive keys respectively, and 88-key MODX8 with Graded Hammer Standard action.
