MPC X

SOUND SYNTHESIZERSAWM2Reserved for Yamaha synthesizers, the AWM2 engine offers much more than just sample playback. Each of the 16 AWM2 Parts includes eight fully programmable synthesizers with their own dedicated filter (18 different types!), amplitude, pitch and filter envelope generators, nine LFOs, a 3-band EQ and a block of two dedicated effects with Virtual Circuitry Modeling technology.FMXFM-X is a highly sophisticated synthesis engine capable of producing classic 80's sounds or the most cutting-edge FM sounds for today's EDM music with incredible dynamics, power and definition. MODX features an 8-operator FM architecture and 64-note polyphony, offering a wide range of options for sound creation.SEAMLESS SOUND CHAININGSeamless Sound Switching (SSS) technology allows you to seamlessly switch between performances without any envelope or effect cuts*. It's perfect on stage for ending one track and moving straight into the next.192-NOTE POLYPHONYMODX features 128-note stereo polyphony for the AWM2 engine and 64-note polyphony for the FM-X engine. Due to the unique architecture of MODX and MONTAGE, this polyphony is always available without latency or impact on other features.POWERFUL EFFECTSFrom high-definition reverb algorithms to effects modeled down to the smallest component (VCM effects), MODX is loaded with innovation and DSP power, with sound quality that's off the charts. Use effects such as Beat Repeat, Vinyl Break or Bit Crusher to achieve an EDM sound. The Spiralizer effect creates the auditory illusion of an infinitely rising or falling pitch.You can even add a compressor with sidechain for a modern ducking effect. Or revisit the past with vintage effects such as Analog Delay, VCM Phaser or a variety of amp simulators. Pianists will appreciate piano-focused effects like Damper Resonance for a realistic piano experience, as well as HD reverbs that allow you to place yourself in any physical space.BUILT-IN FLASH MEMORYMODX includes 1GB of non-volatile user flash memory with high-speed read/write for loading your own samples or downloaded sound banks.ANALOG INPUTS AND AUDIO INTERFACEDual analog and digital inputs make MODX the center of your recording studio or live computer setup.As today's computer-based music production demands, MODX features a professional 4-in/10-out multi-channel USB audio interface. A single cable connection replaces the need for an external audio interface. Class Compliant, it is iOS compatible.MOTION SEQUENCESMotion Sequences are fully customizable, tempo-synchronized sequences of control data that can be assigned to virtually any synthesizer parameter, providing unique ways to create evolving and expressive sounds.These Motion Sequences also have dedicated controls on the front panel, making them easy to manipulate and edit live, allowing for exceptional interactivity and expression.ENVELOPE FOLLOWERThe Envelope Follower converts audio into a control source that can affect virtually any synthesizer parameter. For example, a drum loop can drive effect parameters for a pleasing rhythmic feel, or a vocal recording can control multiple parameters for a "talking" synthesizer. The audio can even be a live source plugged into the analog input. AUDIO BEAT SYNCABS (Audio Beat Sync) detects the beats of an external device connected to the analog input such as an electronic drum kit, vintage drum machine or audio player, and synchronizes the MODX Arpeggiator, Motion Sequencer and Songs to the tempo of the external input. The MODX synthesizer "listens" to the live music and matches it!CUBASE AI BUNDLEThe Yamaha MODX comes bundled with Cubase AI, Steinberg's professional music production software for recording, editing and processing on Windows and Mac PCs.

Sampler and without reproach.The return of the MPC, a re-imagined sequencer and sampler while retaining the ergonomics for which it is known, induces autonomy functionality, CV outputs, audio track recording, clip launching, MPC 2.0 software and a 10.1" high definition multitouch tilting screen.  It's the largest screen ever used on an MPC, so you can immerse yourself in an intuitive world.Advanced controls.Precisely designed to enhance your creativity, the MPC X's arsenal of hardware controls redefine the standard for the studio's centerpiece. 16 backlit, velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads faithfully capture every nuance of your performance.

The 8 balanced outputs, which can connect to virtually any peripheral equipment in your studio, and its combination of inputs make it easy to adapt to any setup.Versatility is not an empty word.Whether you prefer to work directly on the MPC or dream of a wild production, the MPC X can be both a standalone production station and a powerful midi controller. In standalone mode, it's powered by the revamped MPC 2.0 software. Connect the MPC-X to your Mac or PC, run the MPC software as a plug-in in the DAW of your choice or as a stand-alone application and harness the power of the VST instruments and effects.Expandable storage but not only.The MPC X comes standard with 16GB of storage, but its 2.5" SATA connector allows for expansion via a hard drive or SSD. In addition, sounds can be accessed and added to the library using the built-in SD card reader or a USB stick. You can also easily manage the power of your sound modules, drum machines and other synthesizers thanks to the countless connections available: 2-in/4-out Midi interface, 8 CV outputs, 2 USB 2.0 inputs, etc.With a design that is often reproduced, but never equaled, the MPC X offers users a stand-alone sequencer/sampler with an intuitive interface, combined with state-of-the-art features that users demand.
