Information
The MODX has the same sound engines as the MONTAGE, and many of the same features, barely scaled down in places, and often times not scaled back at all! While the feature set is discussed in detail in our previous MONTAGE review, a quick list of MODX features includes: FM-X engine: Eight operators, 88 algorithms, 64 voice polyphony (MONTAGE offers 128 voices) AWM2 engine: 128 voice polyphony Sixteen-part multi timbral User wave memory: 1 GB (MONTAGE has 1.75 GB) Seamless Sound Transition technology: limited to four voices (MONTAGE has eight) Four MIDI sliders, four rotary encoders (MONTAGE has eight of both, with LED markers) Presets: 5.67 GB of wave data 18 Filter types Mod wheel and pitch bend above the keyboard (MONTAGE has them to the left of the keyboard) Ability to send ten channels and return four audio channels over USB A/D input that can process external audio 27 simultaneous effects Performance recorder allows up to 16 tracks, 130,00 notes (but this is not a workstation) Eight simultaneous arpeggios with 10,239 preset types To our pleasant surprise, the same seven-inch touch screen from the MONTAGE is present, as is the “Super Knob” to its left. The right side past the screen, however, is different than the MONTAGE. The MONTAGE has dedicated buttons for category and part selections, but these have been removed on the MODX. We had the MODX-8 sent to us, so this blank top panel space left plenty of room for something to be placed there instead: an iPod, or a desktop synth sound module perhaps? The back panel of the MODX has multiple connectors: USB to device, USB to host, MIDI IN/OUT, two footswitches, two foot controller inputs, stereo audio out, headphones, and audio (stereo) in. Unfortunately, the external power supply is housed in a wall wart, and uses a barrel-shaped power connector. While not a big deal to some, most pro players prefer internal power supplies and standard IEC power cables for a host of reasons. Our MODX8 had weighted hammer action
