This instrument is equipped with an AWM2 tone generator block. AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) is a synthesis system based on sampled waves (sound material), and is used in many Yamaha synthesizers. For extra realism, each AWM2 Voice uses multiple samples of a real instrument’s waveform. Furthermore, a wide variety of parameters—envelope generator, filter, modulation, and others—can be applied.

MODX Reference Manual

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. By changing the operator combination patterns, controlling the modulation with other parameters such as levels and envelopes, and using high-quality filters, effects, and EQ commonly with AWM2, you can create richly textured sounds that change in a highly complex fashion.

Tone Generator Block

The tone generator block is what actually produces sound in response to the MIDI messages received from the Sequencer block, Controller block, Arpeggio block and from the external MIDI instrument. The MIDI messages are assigned to sixteen independent channels, and the instrument is capable of simultaneously playing sixteen separate Parts, via the sixteen MIDI channels. However, the sixteenchannel limit can be overcome by using separate MIDI “ports,” each supporting sixteen channels. The tone generator block of this instrument can handle MIDI messages over Port 1.

Tone Generator block

Performances

A Performance is a single set of sounds consisting of multiple Parts. You can change sounds as desired by selecting the appropriate Performance. Each Performance has two types of parameters; parameters unique to each Part and parameters common to all Parts. You can edit the entire Performance in the Common/Audio Edit display (page 159).

A Performance consists of 16 Parts and you can create Performances (in which multiple Parts or Parts are combined—in a layer, or in other configurations) using the keyboard.

Parts

Internally, there are three Part types: Normal Parts (AWM2), Normal Parts (FM-X), and Drum Parts. Normal Parts (AWM2) are mainly pitched musical instrument type sounds that can be played over the full range of the keyboard. Normal Parts (FM-X) are also mainly pitched musical instrument type sounds, using FM synthesis. Drum Parts are mainly percussion/drum sounds that are assigned to individual notes. A Normal Part (AWM2) can consist of up to eight Elements, a Normal Part (FM-X) can consist of up to eight Operators, and a Drum Part can consist of up to 73 Drum Keys. An Element/Operator/Drum Key is the basic, smallest unit for a Part. By combining multiple Elements/ Operators/Keys, Parts can be created to produce even more realistic sounds or various richly textured types of sound. Each Part is created by editing parameters unique to each (Element Edit parameters/ Operator Edit parameters/Key Edit parameters) and parameters common to all the Elements/Operators/ Keys (Element Common Edit, Operator Common Edit, and Key Common Edit parameters.)

NOTE For instructions on editing a Normal Part (AWM2), see page 66. For instructions on editing a Normal Part (FM-X),

see page 145. For instructions on editing a Drum Part, see page 133.

Individual drum sounds (different for each key)

Normal Parts (AWM2)

These Parts are played conventionally from the keyboard, with standard pitches sounding for each key, generated by AWM2. A Normal Part consists of up to eight Elements. Depending on the settings in the Part Edit, these Elements are sounded simultaneously, or different Elements are sounded according to the note range, velocity range and the XA (Expanded Articulation) settings (page 6). The illustration shows an example of a Normal Part (AWM2). Since the six Elements here are distributed across both the note range of the keyboard and the velocity range, a different Element sounds depending on which note you play and how strongly you play it. In the velocity distribution, Elements 1, 3 and 5 sound when playing the keyboard softly, while Elements 2, 4 and 6 sound when playing it strongly. In the note distribution, Elements 1 and 2 sound in the lower range of the keyboard, Elements 3 and 4 sound in the middle range, and Elements 5 and 6 sound in the higher range. In the velocity distribution, Elements 1, 3 and 5 sound when playing the keyboard softly, while Elements 2, 4 and 6 sound when playing it strongly. In a practical example of this in use, a piano Part could be composed of six different samples. Elements 1, 3 and 5 would be the sounds of the piano played softly, over the respective note ranges, while Elements 2, 4 and 6 would be strongly played sounds, for each respective note range. Actually, this instrument is even more flexible than this, since it allows up to eight independent Elements.

Normal Parts (FM-X)

These Parts are also played conventionally from the keyboard, with standard pitches sounding for each key, generated by FM synthesis. The sound for a Normal Part (FM-X) is created by modulating a frequency of a fundamental waveform with another waveform. An operator that generates a fundamental waveform is a “carrier,” and an operator that modulates these waveforms is a “modulator.” The combination of a number of Operators is called “Algorithm.” When the waveform output from the Operator is a simple sine wave, no harmonics are included other than the fundamental tone. However, you can create harmonics by modulating the waveform with other Operators. How harmonics can be created depends on the Modulators’ output levels and the frequency rates of Carriers and Modulators. On the other hand, the basic pitch is determined by Carrier’s frequency, and the output level is determined by the Carrier’s output level. The figure described below shows a basic way to create FM sound by using an analog synthesizer.

Although the figure described above shows waveforms which are generated by two operators, the MODX has eight Operators. The combination of a number of Operators is called an “Algorithm” and this synthesizer has parameters for setting the Algorithm.

Drum Parts

Drum Parts are mainly percussion/drum sounds that are assigned to individual notes on the keyboard (C0 to C6). Unlike Elements, a Drum key is equivalent to the corresponding note, meaning that you cannot change its range. Drum or percussion sounds are assigned to each Drum Key. You can create various types of Drum Parts by changing the drum or percussion sound assigned to each key and edit the parameters such as pitch and EG.

MODX Reference Manual

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.

Realistic legato performance

This instrument more accurately reproduces a legato effect by allowing specific Elements to be sounded when playing legato and other Elements to be played normally (with the XA Control parameter settings “Normal” and “Legato”).

Authentic note release sound

The MODX reproduces these special, characteristic sounds by setting the XA Control parameter of certain Elements to “Key Off.”

Subtle sound variations for each note played

The MODX more accurately reproduces these subtle sound variations by using the XA Control parameter settings “Cycle” and “Random.”

Switching among different sounds to recreate the natural performance on an acoustic instrument

Acoustic instruments have their own unique characteristics—even specific, unique sounds that are produced only at certain times in a performance. These include the flutter tonguing on a flute or the playing of high harmonics on an acoustic guitar. The MODX recreates these by allowing you to switch between the sounds while you play—using the [ASSIGN 1]/[ASSIGN 2] buttons and the XA Control parameter settings, “A.SW1 On,” “A.SW2 On” and “A.SW Off.”

NOTE You can turn the [ASSIGN 1]/[ASSIGN 2] button on or off also by transmitting the Control Change number

specified in the Common/Audio Edit display ([Control]  [Control Number]) (page 167) from an external device.

New sounds and new styles of playing

The highly versatile functions above can be applied effectively not only to acoustic sounds but also to synthesizer and electronic Parts as well. The XA feature opens up enormous potential for realizing authentic sounds, performing expressively and coming up with creative new styles of playing.

Motion Control System

The Motion Control System is a completely new feature for variably controlling Motions (rhythmical, multidimensional sound changes) in real time. This amazingly powerful feature dramatically and dynamically alters the sounds of the instrument in new, never-heard-before ways—changing texturally, rhythmically with the beats, providing cool, colorful lighting effects, and responding expressively to your creative passion. The Motion Control System has three main functions:

Super Knob:

For creating multi-dimensional sonic changes, and enhancing those changes with colorful, continually shifting lighting changes. Multiple parameters can be controlled simultaneously.

Motion Sequencer:

For continually variable sound changes. 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.

Envelope Follower:

Envelope Follower is a function for detecting the volume envelope of the input signal waveform and modifying sounds dynamically.

NOTE Envelope Follower can be controlled not only by the audio signal from an external device, but also by the output

of all Parts.

Maximum Polyphony

Maximum polyphony refers to the highest number of notes that can be sounded simultaneously from the internal tone generator of the instrument. The maximum polyphony of this synthesizer is 128 for AWM2 and 64 for FM-X. When the internal tone generator block receives a number of notes exceeding the maximum polyphony, previously played notes are cut off. Keep in mind that this may be especially noticeable with Parts not having decay. Furthermore, the maximum polyphony applies to the number of Elements/Drum Keys used, not the number of Parts. When Normal Parts (AWM2) that include up to eight Elements are used, the maximum number of simultaneous notes may be less than 128.

Arpeggio playback types

There are three main Arpeggio playback types as described below.

Arpeggios for Normal Parts

Arpeggio types (belonging to all categories except for Drum/Perc and a part of Control/HybridSeq) created for use of Normal Parts have the following three playback types.

Playback of played notes only

The Arpeggio is played back using only the played note(s) and octave notes.

Playback of a programmed sequence according to the played notes

These Arpeggio types have the several sequences each of which is suited for a certain chord type. Even if you press only one note, the Arpeggio is played back using the programmed sequence—meaning that notes other than the ones you play may be sounded. Pressing another note triggers a transposed sequence using the pressed note as the new root note. Adding notes to those already held changes the sequence accordingly. Arpeggios with this playback type have “_N” at the end of the type name.

Playback of a programmed sequence according to the played chord

These Arpeggio types created for use with Normal Parts are played back to match the chord type determined by detecting the notes you play on the keyboard. Arpeggios with this playback type have “_C” at the end of the type name.

NOTE When the “Key Mode” parameter is set to “Sort” or “Sort+Drct,” the same sequence is played back no matter

what order you play the notes. When the “Key Mode” parameter is set to “Thru” or “Thru+Drct,” a different sequence is played back depending on the order you play the notes.

NOTE Since these types are programmed for Normal Parts, using them with Drum Parts may not produce musically

appropriate results.

MODX Reference Manual

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.

Playback of a drum pattern, plus additional played notes (assigned drum instruments)

Pressing any note will trigger the same rhythm pattern. Adding notes to the one already held produces additional sounds (assigned drum instruments) for the drum pattern.

Playback only of the played notes (assigned drum instruments)

Playing a note or notes will trigger a rhythm pattern using only the notes played (assigned drum instruments). Keep in mind that even if you play the same notes, the triggered rhythm pattern differs depending on the order of the notes played. This gives you access to different rhythm patterns using the same instruments simply by changing the order in which you play the notes, when the “Key Mode” parameter is set to “Thru” or “Thru+Drct.”

NOTE The three playback types above are not distinguished by category name or type name. You’ll have to actually

play the types and hear the difference.

NOTE Since these types are programmed for Drum Parts, using them with Normal Parts may not produce musically

appropriate results.

Arpeggios containing mainly non-note events

Arpeggio types (in Control/HybridSeq main categories with Filter, Expression, Pan, Modulation, Pitch Bend, and Assign 1/2 sub categories) are programmed primarily with Control Change and Pitch Bend data. They are used to change the tone or pitch of the sound, rather than play specific notes. In fact, some types contain no note data at all. When using a type of this category, set the “Key Mode” parameter to “Direct,” “Sort+Drct,” or “Thru+Drct.”

NOTE Settings related to Key Mode are set as follows.

Effect structure

System Effects—Variation and Reverb

System Effects are applied to the overall sound. With System Effects, the sound of each Part is sent to the effect according to the Effect Send Level for each Part. The processed sound (referred to as “wet”) is sent back to the mixer according to the Return Level, and output—after being mixed with the unprocessed “dry” sound. This instrument is equipped with Variation and Reverb as System Effects. In addition, you can set the Send Level from Variation to Reverb. This parameter is used to apply Reverb to the signals output from the Variation. You can get a natural effect by applying Reverb depth to the Variation sound with the same level as that of the dry sound.

Insertion Effects

Insertion Effects can be applied individually to each of specified parts before merging signals of all parts. It should be used for sounds for which you want to drastically change the character. You can set different Effect types to the Insertion Effects A and B for each Part. These settings can be made from Part Edit  [Effect] (page 75, page 136, page 150). This synthesizer features 13 sets of Insertion Effects. They can be applied to Parts1–8 and four of the Parts 9–16 and A/D Input Part.

About the Vocoder Effect

MODX features a Vocoder effect. Vocoder is a distinctive, “robot voice” effect which extracts the characteristic of the microphone sound and adds it to the sound via your keyboard performance. The human voice consists of sounds generated from the vocal cords, and filtered by the throat, nose and mouth. These resonant sections have specific frequency characteristics and they function effectively as a filter, creating many formants (harmonic content). The Vocoder effect extracts the filter characteristics of the voice from the microphone input and recreates the vocal formants by the use of multiple band pass filters. The machine-like ‘robot’ voice is created by passing the pitched sounds of musical instruments (such as a synthesizer sound) through the filters.

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. However, the signal output from each Envelope Follower can be another “input source” for any desired destination such as each Part or even the entire Performance. For example, you can modify the sound of Part 2 by using the Envelope Follower for Part 1 (EnvFollower 1) as the “Source.” The Envelope Follower as the “Source” and the target parameter to be controlled by the Envelope Follower (which is called “Destination”) are set in the Control Assign display (page 100).

Pitch Bend wheel

Use the Pitch Bend wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or down (roll the wheel toward you) while playing the keyboard. Roll the wheel upward/downward to bend the pitch upward/downward. This wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when released. The Pitch Bend Range setting can be changed in Part Edit  [Part Settings]  [Pitch] (page 68). Functions other than Pitch Bend can be assigned to the Pitch Bend wheel in the Part Edit  [Mod/Control]  [Control Assign] (page 100, page 153).

Modulation wheel

Even though the Modulation wheel is conventionally used to apply vibrato to the sound, many of the preset Performances have other functions and effects assigned to the wheel. The more you move this wheel up, the greater the effect that is applied to the sound. To avoid accidentally applying effects to the current Performance, make sure the Modulation wheel is set to minimum before you start playing. Various functions can be assigned to the Modulation wheel in Part Edit  [Mod/Control]  [Control Assign] (page 100, page 153).

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.

Preset Memory

Preset Memory is memory designed specifically for reading out data such as Preset Performance, Arpeggio, and Audition Phrase. You cannot overwrite the data in Preset Memory.

Edit buffer

The edit buffer is the memory location for edited data of these types: Performance, Live Set, and Song. Although the edit buffer is designed specifically for data writing and data reading, the data contained in the edit buffer is lost when the power is turned off. You should always store edited data to User memory before editing new performance or before turning off the power. Data other than Performance and Motion Sequence are automatically stored.

User memory

User data edited in the Edit buffer and utility settings for the entire system are stored in the dedicated area in the User memory. Up to eight Library files (.X8L) read from the USB flash drive are loaded in the dedicated area in the User memory. This is read-write memory and the data will be kept even after the power is turned off.

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. Both of these are read-write memory types. However, you should make sure to store the sequence data before turning off the power, because any sequence data you’ve created will be lost when the power is turned off. For instructions on using the Compare function, see the Owner’s Manual.

 Put Track to Arpeggio

This function copies data in the specified measures of a track for creating Arpeggio data. Up to 16 unique note numbers can be recorded to the Arpeggio track. If more than 16 different note numbers have been recorded to the MIDI sequence data, the Convert operation reduces the notes in excess of the limit. Because of this, be careful to record only up to 16 different notes when you create an Arpeggio, especially when using multiple tracks.

Zone Settings

From the Zone Setting display you can set Zone-related parameters. You can divide the keyboard into a maximum of eight independent areas (called “Zones”). To each Zone can be assigned different MIDI channels. This makes it possible to control several Parts of the multi-timbral tone generator simultaneously by a single keyboard or to control Parts of an external MIDI instrument over several different channels in addition to the internal Parts of this synthesizer itself—letting you use the MODX to effectively do the work of several keyboards. To activate this display, select [UTILITY]  [Settings]  [Advanced], then set “Zone Master” to “ON.” For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual.

Operation

Zone (Zone Switch)

Determines whether the Zone function is used (on) or not (off). When this is set to off, all of the following parameters are not available.

Settings: Off, On

Int SW (Internal Switch)

Determines whether MIDI messages generated by playing the keyboard in the range of the selected Zone are transmitted to the internal tone generator or not.

Settings: Off, On

Transmit Ch (Transmit Channel)

Determines the MIDI Transmit Channel for the selected Zone.

Settings: Ch1–Ch16, Off

Note Limit

Determines the lowest and highest notes of the range for the selected Zone. The selected Zone will sound only when you play notes within this range. If you first specify the highest note and then the lowest note, for example “C5 to C4,” then the note range covers both “C-2 to C4” and “C5 to G8.”

Settings: C -2 – G8

Octave Shift

Determines the amount in octaves by which the range of the Zone is shifted up or down. You can adjust the offset up or down over a maximum range of three octaves.

Settings: -3 – +0 (Default) – +3

Key Mode

Determines how the Arpeggio plays back when playing the keyboard.

Settings: Sort, Thru, Direct, Sort+Drct, Thru+Drct

Sort: When you play specific notes (for example, the notes of a chord), the same sequence plays, no matter what

order you play the notes.

Thru: When you play specific notes (for example, the notes of a chord), the resulting sequence differs depending on

the order of the notes.

Direct: Note events of the Arpeggio sequence do not play; only the notes you play on the keyboard are heard. When

the Arpeggio plays back, events such as Pan and Brightness are applied to the sound of your keyboard performance. Use this setting when the Arpeggio types include non-note data or when you set the Arpeggio Category to Control.

Sort+Drct: The Arpeggio plays back according to the Sort setting, and the notes played are also sounded. Thru+Drct: The Arpeggio plays back according to the Thru setting, and the notes played are also sounded.

Velocity (Velocity Rate)

Determines how much the velocity of Arpeggio playback is offset from the original value. If the resulting Velocity value is 0, it will be set to 1. If the resulting Velocity value is greater than 128 it will be set to 127.

Settings: 0%–200%

Gate Time (Gate Time Rate)

Determines how much the Gate Time (length) of the Arpeggio notes is offset from the original value. If the resulting Gate Time value is 0, it will be set to 1.

Settings: 0%–200%

Change Timing

Determines the actual timing at which the Arpeggio type is switched when you select another type during Arpeggio playback. When set to “Real-time,” the Arpeggio type is switched immediately. When set to “Measure,” the Arpeggio type is switched at the top of the next measure.

Settings: Real-time, Measure

480 (1/4 note)

Qntz Strength (Quantize Strength)

This parameter sets the “strength” by which note events are pulled toward the quantize beat set in “Arp/MS Grid.” A setting of 100% produces exact timing set in “Arp/MS Grid.” A setting of 0% results in no quantization.

Settings: 0%–100%

Unit (Part Unit Multiply)

Adjusts the Arpeggio playback time. By using this parameter, you can create a different Arpeggio from the original one.

Settings: 50%, 66%, 75%, 100%, 133%, 150%, 200%, 266%, 300%, 400%, Common
