Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
MODX M6 is a 61-key performance synthesizer built around semi-weighted improved synth action and Yamaha’s AN-X, FM-X, and AWM2 engines. The three engines span analog-style, frequency-modulation, and sample-based synthesis, with up to 268 notes of polyphony across them. Eight performance faders, six display knobs, high-resolution pitch bend and modulation, and the Super Knob give direct access to sound changes. USB MIDI 2.0 and the four-output, 10-input USB audio interface support a single-connection workflow for MIDI and multichannel audio in a DAW.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage and studio keyboard work using a 61-key semi-weighted synth action.
- Performances that need direct fader, knob, Super Knob, Part, and Scene control.
- Recording MIDI and multichannel audio over USB into a DAW.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require an 88-key graded-hammer weighted action; the M6 has 61 semi-weighted keys.
