Product details
76-Key Reach. Three Synthesis Engines. Built for the Stage.
The Yamaha MODX M7 combines the sound architecture of Yamaha's M-series flagship instruments with an extended 76-note semi-weighted FSB keyboard. The wider range gives performers more room for splits, layers, two-handed parts and expressive arrangements without moving up to the size and weight of an 88-key instrument.
At just 7.6 kg, MODX M7 is remarkably portable for a 76-key synthesizer. AWM2, FM-X and AN-X synthesis, a 7-inch colour touchscreen, Motion Control, sequencing tools, extensive effects and multichannel USB audio make it a versatile centrepiece for live performance, worship, studio production and sound design.
Key Features
76-note semi-weighted FSB keyboard with room to perform
The 76-key FSB action gives you an extended playing range for layered sounds, keyboard splits, piano parts, synth leads and organ techniques while remaining quick and responsive. Initial touch provides velocity-sensitive expression; the keyboard does not provide aftertouch.
AWM2, FM-X and AN-X: three complementary sound engines
AWM2 delivers highly detailed sample-based pianos, electric pianos, orchestral instruments, guitars, drums and more. FM-X offers eight-operator FM synthesis with 88 algorithms for dynamic digital tones, while AN-X adds three oscillators plus noise for expressive virtual-analogue leads, pads and basses.
Extended range without heavyweight transport
Measuring 1,089 mm wide and weighing only 7.6 kg, MODX M7 balances a spacious 76-key range with genuine portability. It is practical for rehearsals, gigs, touring rigs, studios, classrooms and worship venues where flexibility matters.
Motion Control turns complex sound changes into performance gestures
The Super Knob, Motion Sequencer and Envelope Follower can control multiple parameters at once. Morph layered sounds, animate effects, create rhythmic movement or move between contrasting textures without interrupting your performance.
7-inch touchscreen with performance-ready hands-on control
The wide VGA colour touchscreen simplifies sound selection, editing, mixing and routing. Eight sliders, four knobs, the Super Knob, six display knobs, pitch and modulation wheels, assignable switches and Live Sets keep important controls accessible on stage.
Built for stage, studio and computer-based production
Connect microphones or line sources through the stereo A/D inputs, integrate MIDI equipment, add foot controllers and switches, or connect directly to a computer by USB. At 44.1 kHz, the integrated USB audio interface supports four input channels and ten output channels for flexible recording and playback.
FAQ
Q. Who is the MODX M7 best suited to?
It is ideal for gigging keyboardists, worship musicians, synth players, producers and studios that want more playing range than a 61-key instrument while keeping the rig light and portable.
Q. How is MODX M7 different from the older MODX7 or MODX7+?
MODX M7 belongs to the newer MODX M generation. In addition to AWM2 and FM-X, it adds the AN-X virtual-analogue engine, expanded sound architecture and an updated performance workflow. Specifications for MODX7/MODX7+ should not be assumed to apply to MODX M7.
Q. Is the keyboard weighted, and does it support aftertouch?
MODX M7 uses a semi-weighted FSB keyboard designed for responsive synth, organ and general performance. It supports initial touch (velocity sensitivity), but not aftertouch. Players who want an 88-key graded hammer action should consider MODX M8.
Q. Does it have built-in speakers?
No. MODX M7 connects to headphones, powered studio monitors, a keyboard amplifier, mixer or PA system through its dedicated audio outputs.
Q. Can it record audio and MIDI to a computer?
Yes. Its USB connection carries MIDI and multichannel audio. At 44.1 kHz it supports four input and ten output channels; at 44.1, 48 or 96 kHz it can operate with two-channel input and output.
Q. Can I load my own samples?
Yes. MODX M provides 1.9 GB of user waveform memory, allowing custom waveforms and compatible libraries to be incorporated into Performances.
Q. What is included in the box?
Yamaha lists the PA-300C AC adaptor, Quick Guide, Cubase AI download information, Expanded Softsynth Plugin for MONTAGE M/MODX M download information, manual-download information and a welcome card.
