Features
SOUND
Inspired Performance
Take your performance anywhere with the compact, lightweight MODX M featuring three powerful engines.
AN-X ENGINE
Integrated into the Motion Control system, the AN-X Engine allows you to create expressive, unique analog sounds.
- Two filters
- 10 filter types
- Pulse width modulation
- Oscillator Self Sync
- Ring modulation
- FM, and wave shaper
- Wave folder
- Voltage drift and aging settings to simulate vintage synth behavior
AWM2
Experience realism and detail with the MODX M Advanced Wave Memory (AWM2). Offering up to 128 Elements per Part, AWM2 allows for more layers and articulations, giving you an expansive canvas for sound creation, especially for “nameable” sounds such as piano and strings.
268 NOTES TOTAL POLYPHONY
MODX M offers up to 268 notes of polyphony across its three engines:
- 128 notes for AWM2 Preset and User Waveform Parts
- 128 notes for FM-X Parts
- 12 notes for AN-X Parts
AND MORE
- PRESET WAVE AND FLASH MEMORY UPGRADE: MODX M offers approx. 2x the memory over MODX/MODX+ with an increase from 5.68 GB to 10.7 GB of AWM2 memory, and 1.9 GB of User flash memory.
- VCM ROTARY SPEAKER: The VCM Rotary Speaker effect simulates the rich and enveloping motion of a classic rotary speaker cabinet.
CONTROL
Unique Expression
Intuitive performance controls give you real-time hands-on expression.
DEDICATED PART AND SCENE CONTROL
You’ll find dedicated Part and Scene Selection buttons to control 8 Parts per Performance. Particularly beneficial for live performances, this intuitive control improves overall usability and adds dimension to each Performance.
HIGH RESOLUTION CONTROL
The MODX M Knobs, Super Knob, Pitch Bend, Mod Wheel, and Sound Engine – are now High Resolution. Because of the fine resolution, you’ll find the MODX M performs smoother than its predecessors.
MOTION CONTROL SYNTHESIS ENGINE
Experience a new level of sound design with this groundbreaking engine. You’ll interact with sound like never before using powerful tools such as:
- Motion Sequences – dynamically automate synth and effect parameters, all perfectly in sync with your tempo
- Super Knob – control dozens of modulations with a single gesture
- Envelope Follower – shape your sound using input from the A/D or another Part
- And so much more!
AND MORE
- 8 Faders, 4 Knobs
- 4 Pedal Inputs
- 6 Display Knobs
WORKFLOW
Expanded Creativity
Bridge the gap between stage and studio with streamlined hardware and software integration.
EXPANDED SOFTSYNTH PLUGIN (ESP)
– AVAILABLE EARLY 2026
Free for all registered MODX M owners, the Expanded Softsynth Plugin (ESP) replicates MODX M in your favorite Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). ESP lets you create, edit and mix performances anywhere you happen to be – without the hardware – offering an unprecedented level of stage and studio integration.
FASTER, MORE INTUITIVE NAVIGATION
Upgraded navigation enables quick, intuitive sound editing and operation. You’ll find features like a color touch screen, 6 display knobs, and Stereo A/D input with 2 insertion effects.
