-- Sam Ash updated its inventory to include Yamaha's flagship MODX8+ synthesizer for pianists or crossover synth players who rely on a realistic piano-like feel. This addition to Yamaha's synthesizer lineup incorporates the company's Advanced Wave Memory 2 (AWM2) sampling and synthesis engine for precise sound reproduction and expressive musical performance.

The MODX8+ includes GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) weighted action, which replicates an acoustic piano's feel with heavier keys in the lower register and lighter keys in the higher register. This design gives musicians an authentic playing experience while retaining the velocity of playing on a synthesizer. The keyboard's responsive action makes it suitable for both classical pianists transitioning to electronic music production and seasoned synth performers.
With 256-note total polyphony (128-note stereo AWM2 and 128-note FM-X), the MODX8+ supports complex compositions without note cutoff. The instrument's 'Super Knob' allows real-time control of multiple sound parameters, enabling performers to create sound transformations during live performances. This feature proves particularly valuable for live electronic music performances where dynamic sound manipulation is essential.
Musicians can generate rhythmic patterns through the Motion SEQ tempo-synchronized sequencer, which creates evolving sonic textures that can be modified in real-time. The synthesizer includes 1.75GB of internal flash memory for storing sounds, samples, and settings, allowing users to build an extensive personal sound library.
The MODX8+ integrates both the AWM2 sampling engine and an FM-X synthesis engine, providing musicians with diverse sound creation possibilities. These dual sound engines can be used independently or combined to create hybrid tones that span traditional acoustic instrument emulations and cutting-edge electronic sounds.
The synthesizer measures 52.5 inches wide, 15.9 inches deep, and 6.3 inches high, weighing 30.4 pounds. This form factor balances functionality and reasonable portability for gigging musicians. The Yamaha MODX8+ is now available at a special price on Sam Ash, and buyers can discuss product specifics with gear experts by calling 800-472-6274.
