There are thousands of real-world sounds or instruments like pianos, flutes, drums and so on, and you can also import your own samples from a USB drive if you like. The Sample based engine – called AWM2 – can play either one-shot samples, or samples with looping points that go on for as long as a note is sustained. You can create music on MODX without drilling down into the parts and how the synth engines work, but you’d be missing out on a lot, so let’s dive in and take a quick look at them and then zoom back out. A performance can have up to 16 parts – and each part can use either the FM or sample engine. A performance consists of everything you can do simultaneously with the MODX – the song I played in the intro to the companion video is all one performance: all the sounds you can make at a given time simultaneously – drums, piano, electric guitar and more, keyboard splits and layers, all the arpeggios, or beats or sequences, and automation/motion control for those sounds, all the scenes, which are different parameter states or stages of a song, all the effects you can apply to those sounds – all that is contained in one performance – and you can swap Performances in and out as you please of course.
Let’s get started by looking at some basic terms. There’s a lot going on in MODX – in this review and companion video I’ll look at the most important things you need to know to figure out if this synth is for you. It has the same exact synth engine as its bigger brother – but at a price which makes it a very interesting player in today’s synth market.
