Basic Structure
Functional Blocks
The MODX6/MODX7/MODX8 system consists of eight main functional blocks: Tone Generator, A/D Input,
Sequencer, Motion Sequencer, Arpeggio, Controller, Effect, and Envelope Follower.
AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2)
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.
