Built for working musicians, the MODX M Series combines expressive control, streamlined workflow, and exceptional sound in a lightweight design perfect for stage or studio.

More

INSPIRED PERFORMANCE
Take your performance anywhere with the compact, lightweight MODX M featuring three powerful engines: 

  • AN-X – recreates warm vintage analog synths
  • FM-X – offers cutting-edge modern synth sound
  • AWM2 – delivers ultra-realistic instrument sounds 

Plus, MODX M offers an upgrade of up to 268 notes of polyphony across its three engines and approximately 2x the memory over MODX/MODX+ with an increase from 5.68GB to 10.7GB of AWM2 memory, and 1.9GB of User flash memory.

UNIQUE EXPRESSION
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.

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. 

EXPANDED CREATIVITY
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.  (Available early 2026) 

Upgraded navigation enables quick, intuitive sound editing and operation. You’ll find features like a color touchscreen, 6 display knobs, and Stereo A/D input with 2 insertion effects.

Features

  • AN-X Engine – Advanced virtual analog engine with 2 filters, 10 filter types, pulse width modulation, oscillator sync, ring modulation, FM, wave shaping, plus voltage drift and aging controls
  • AWM2 Sound Engine – Up to 128 elements per part for deep layering and detailed articulation, ideal for expressive instruments like piano and strings
  • Motion Control Synthesis Engine – Powerful sound design tools including Motion Sequences, Super Knob, and Envelope Follower
  • USB MIDI 2.0 + 10-Out / 4-In Audio Interface – Record MIDI, monitor virtual instruments, and capture multi-track audio via a single USB cable
  • Cubase AI Included – DAW software for recording, editing, and mixing across all music genres
  • Eight Physical Faders – Real-time hands-on control for performance, mixing, and sound editing
