A few more pre-announcement details are coming out about the new Yamaha MODX synthesizer. Official prices will be announced tomorrow.
| MODX6 | MODX7 | MODX8 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | 1,399€ | 1,599€ | 1,799€ |
| Weight | 6.6kg | 7.4kg | 13.8kg |
For ‘mercans, that’s:
| MODX6 | MODX7 | MODX8 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSRP (list) | $1,649 USD | $1,899 USD | $2,399 USD |
| MAP (street) | $1,299 USD | $1,499 USD | $1,899 USD |
| Weight | 14.6 pounds | 16.3 pounds | 30.4 pounds |
The current MOXF6 and MOXF8 weigh 15.6 pounds and 32.8 pounds, respectively. Nice to see a weight reduction.
The current MSRPs for the MOXF6 and MOXF8 are $1,499 and $1,999. So, we’re probably lookin’ at a slight price increase. At least we won’t have to purchase add-on flash memory boards.
Speaking of which, the Yamaha flash expansion boards are now totally dead end. If you’re negotiating for a MOXF, be sure to get your retailer to kick in a flash expansion board or two. Just sayin’.
The MODX Owner’s Manual is now available in the Yamaha manual library. Check your regional site.
