Using the MODX+ Manuals Your MODX6+/MODX7+/MODX8+ synthesizer comes with four different reference guides—the Owner’s Manual, the Reference Manual (this document), the Synthesizer Parameter Manual, and the Data List. While the Owner’s Manual is packaged together with the synthesizer as a hardcopy booklet, this Reference Manual, the Synthesizer Parameter Manual, and the Data List are available for download from our web page as PDF documents.
Basic Structure Basic Structure Functional blocks Tone Generator block A/D Input block Sequencer block Functional Blocks Arpeggio block The MODX6+/MODX7+/MODX8+ system consists of eight main functional blocks: Tone Generator, A/D Input, Sequencer, Motion Sequencer, Arpeggio, Controller, Effect, and Envelope Follower.
Basic Structure FM-X This synthesizer also features an FM-X tone generator, in addition to the AWM2 block. The abbreviation “FM” of FM-X stands for “frequency modulation,” which is a special tone generation system that uses the frequency of one waveform to modulate another waveform, in order to produce a completely new one. In this synthesizer, there are eight FM Operators and a full 88 different Algorithm types.
Basic Structure Normal Parts (AWM2), Normal Parts (FM-X), and Drum Parts Functional blocks Normal Parts (AWM2) Tone Generator block These Parts are played conventionally from the Element 2 Element 4 Element 6 keyboard, with standard pitches sounding for each key, Velocity generated by AWM2. A Normal Part consists of up to eight Elements.
Expanded Articulation (XA) Expanded Articulation (XA) is a tone generation system that provides greater performance flexibility and acoustic realism. This feature allows you to more effectively recreate realistic sound and natural performance techniques—such as legato and staccato—and provides other unique modes for random and alternate sound changes as you play.

Basic Structure Elements, Drum Keys and Operators Functional blocks Elements/Drum Keys/Operators are the smallest “building blocks” in the MODX+ that comprise a Part. These small sound units can be built, enhanced and processed by a variety of traditional synthesizer parameters, such as Pitch EG, Filter EG, Amplitude EG, and LFO (shown below).
Amplitude This unit controls the output level (amplitude) of the Element/Drum Key/Operator. Parameters related to Amplitude and Amplitude EG can be set as follows.
A/D Input Block This block handles the audio signal input from the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks. Various parameters such as volume, pan, and effect can be set for the audio signal and the sound is output together with other Parts. An Insertion Effect, the System Effects, the Master Effects, and the Master EQ can be applied to the audio signal input via the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks. Parameters related to the A/D Input block can be set as follows.
Basic Structure Arpeggio Block This block lets you automatically trigger musical and rhythmic phrases by simply pressing a note or notes on the keyboard. Yamaha’s Arpeggio sequence also changes in response to the actual notes or chords you play, giving you a wide variety of inspiring musical phrases and ideas—both in composing and performing.
Basic Structure Arpeggio Type Name The Arpeggio Types are named according to certain rules and abbreviations. Once you understand these rules and abbreviations, you’ll find it easy to browse through and select the desired Arpeggio Types.
Basic Structure 5 Time Signature Indicates the time signature or meter of the Arpeggio type. Functional blocks Tone Generator block 6 Length Indicates the data length (amount of measures) of the Arpeggio type. When the Loop parameter set to “off,” the Arpeggio plays back for this length and stops. *1 is A/D Input block Sequencer block Arpeggio block 7 Original Tempo Indicates the appropriate tempo value of the Arpeggio type.
Basic Structure Accent Phrases Functional blocks Accent Phrases are composed of sequence data included in some Arpeggio types, sounding only when you play notes at a velocity higher (stronger) than that specified in the Accent Velocity Threshold parameter. If it is hard to play at velocities necessary to trigger the Accent Phrase, set the “Vel Threshold” (Accent Velocity Threshold) parameter to a lower value.
Arpeggios for Drum Parts Arpeggio types in Drum/Perc categories are programmed specifically for use with Drum Parts, giving you instant access to various rhythm patterns. Three different playback types are available. Playback of a drum pattern Pressing any note(s) will trigger the same rhythm pattern.
Basic Structure Creating an Arpeggio In addition to using the preset Arpeggios, you can also create your own original Arpeggio data. First, record a phrase to Song Tracks (up to a maximum of four). Then, convert the Song (or the MIDI sequence data) to Arpeggio data from the Put Track to Arpeggio display. Functional blocks Tone Generator block A/D Input block Sequencer block 1 Record MIDI sequence data to a Song. 2 Convert the MIDI sequence data (recorded to the Song) to Arpeggio data.
Basic Structure Motion Sequencer Block The powerful Motion Sequencer feature lets you dynamically change sounds by operating Parameters depending on sequences created in advance. It provides real time control for changing sounds depending on various sequences such as Tempo, Arpeggio, or the rhythm of external connected devices. You can assign up to eight desired Sequence types for one Lane. You can also set up to four Lanes corresponding to the Motion Sequencer function for one Part.
Basic Structure Using the Knobs to control Motion Sequencer Functional blocks By pressing the Knob Function [TONE]/[EG/FX]/[EQ]/[ARP/MS] button and selecting “ARP/MS,” you can use the Knobs 3–4 to control Motion Sequencer playback. Try this out and listen for the changes in the sound. For details regarding the effect of the Knobs 3–4, see Quick Edit (page 38).
Basic Structure Effect Block This block applies effects to the output of the tone generator block as well as audio input block, processing and enhancing the sound. Effects are applied in the final stages of editing, letting you change the sound as desired. Functional blocks Tone Generator block A/D Input block Sequencer block Effect structure Arpeggio block Motion Sequencer block Effect block System Effects—Variation and Reverb Envelope Follower block System Effects are applied to the overall sound.

Basic Structure Envelope Follower Block Envelope Follower is a function for detecting the envelope of the input signal waveform and modifying sounds dynamically. This function allows you to control not only Part outputs but also input signals from external devices connected to the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks. The Input source of each Envelope Follower is fixed such as Part 1 for EnvFollower 1, Part 2 for EnvFollower 2, and the Audio Part for EnvFollower AD.
Basic Structure Controller Block This block consists of the keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, Assignable Switches, Knobs, Control Sliders and Super Knob. By operating these controllers, you can transmit MIDI messages to the tone generator block to play and modify sounds, or to the DAW software to further control the sounds.
Basic Structure Internal Memory The MODX+ creates a variety of different kinds of data, including Performances, Live Sets, and Songs. This section describes how to maintain the various types of data and use the memory devices/media for storing them.
Recall buffer and Compare buffer If you’ve selected another Performance without storing the one you were editing, you can recall your original edits, since the edit buffer’s contents are stored on backup memory, called the Recall buffer. Also, the instrument has a Compare buffer in which the sound settings prior to editing will temporarily be reinstated for comparison purposes. You can switch between the just-edited sound and its unedited condition, and hear how your edits affect the sound.
